Скачать или смотреть 2026 Property Trends in France: What I'm Seeing Now

French rural property market 2026, buying property in rural France after Covid, French real estate market outside cities. In this video I explain how prices, buyer behaviour, and rural property trends have changed.

This video focuses on rural France, not Paris or city markets.

Rather than relying on national averages or headline figures, I look at how the countryside market has actually behaved over the last few years, from the slow pre-Covid period, through the post-Covid buying rush, and into the more balanced conditions we are seeing now.

I talk about why renovation projects are harder to find, why prices adjusted instead of collapsing, how buyer behaviour has changed, and why rural France doesn’t follow the same rules as urban property markets.

The video also touches on:

the post-Covid rush for rural properties

why some renovation projects are now back on the market

what really happened in late 2024 and early 2025

how pricing has evolved in villages and rural areas

why we now have better data and more realistic valuations

the growing presence of American buyers

why UK buyers are still interested but often delayed

what all of this means if you’re thinking about buying in 2026

This overview is based on real on-the-ground experience, supported by publicly available data such as the annual market review published by Notaires de France.

If you’re planning to buy rural property in France, or simply want proper context instead of hype, this video should help.
