September 2026 at a Glance
House Prices and Trends

Financing and Interest Rates
The European Central Bank’s policy rate was 2.25% in August 2026 (BIS, Central bank policy rates). Rates are 0.25 points higher than a year ago, which raises the cost of borrowing and tends to cool price growth with a lag of two to four quarters. The average rate on new mortgages to households in France was 3.18% in July 2026 (ECB, Bank interest rates — loans to households for house purchase (MIR)), compared with 3.01% a year earlier.

Reading the Trend
Prices in Ramatuelle are essentially flat in nominal terms — which, after inflation, means slightly falling in real terms. Buyers have more time and more leverage than a year ago.
What to watch next month
- The next quarterly release of the house price index for France (Q1 2026 is the latest) — whether annual growth keeps slowing.
- Upcoming decisions by the European Central Bank — any move from 2.25% feeds through to mortgage pricing within weeks.
What This Means for Buyers, Sellers and Investors
Time is on your side — offers below asking are normal in a flat market, especially on stock listed for more than 90 days.
The first two weeks on the market matter most — price to the last comparable sale, not the highest asking price in the street.
Rising financing costs narrow the gap between yield and mortgage rate; model returns at today's rate plus one point.
