Housing: new apartments at knockdown prices on the internet

Notary fees waived or a fully paid kitchen… When buying a new home, developers are competing with each other in offers. The latest innovation: to sell off their unsold items, they are offering a flash sale on the internet. Around a hundred new apartments are going to be put online at knockdown prices.
Buying a new apartment on sale with sometimes up to 89,000 euros discount, this is the new bet of an online sales platform. It is the opportunity for a real estate developer to accelerate its sales. 25 apartments, from studios to five rooms, will be offered 8 to 9% less expensive. As a result of the surge in rates, developers have stock on their hands again. In total, five developers will offer, from September 17, around a hundred properties throughout France.
After choosing, the potential buyer will be redirected to the professional. For the flash sale site, cosmetics or apartment, it is a good like any other. “It’s also a way to attract new customers”confided the partner and co-founder of the platform. According to the Federation of Real Estate Developers (FPI), sales in new construction fell by 22.5% in the second quarter compared to a year ago.
