Completed prices. They come from the DVF register published by the French tax authority, which records transfers registered with the notaire — the public official who completes every French property sale. An asking price is an intention; a DVF price is a concluded transaction. The gap between the two is exactly what a serious valuation has to anticipate.
A commune median gives you an order of magnitude, not a value. Floor level, aspect, view, condition, energy rating and service charges move the price by tens of thousands of euros within the same building. We visit, then give you a written, costed valuation, free and without obligation.
