Real estate sector faces ongoing challenges

The real estate sector is experiencing continued difficulties, particularly in the Lyon region of France, where recovery from a recent crisis has been slow. Industry reports indicate that the situation remains financially unstable, with no clear signs of improvement.

New housing reservations are declining

As of the end of August 2026, the number of reservations for new housing units in collective developments—excluding block sales—has been on a downward trend. This decline suggests a lack of consumer confidence or demand in the market.
