“We are going from red to orange”, this is the image taken by Charles Marinakis, the boss of Century 21 France, noting that the engine of the real estate market, which has been stuck for several months, is once again trying to pass the second. Even if desire does not yet take precedence over prices, there are signs that are unmistakable. In the brand's real estate agencies, potential buyers are returning. Visits to properties and traffic to the website (century21.fr) have increased by 10 to 20% since January.
