French Mortgage Market Rebounds as Rates Decline

France''s stagnant mortgage credit market has surged back to life this spring, with loan demand nearly doubling since February. The Bank of France reports €12.6 billion in new loans for April—a stark recovery from February''s decade-low €6.9 billion. Falling interest rates, now averaging 3.13%, have reignited borrowing activity after two years of paralysis caused by monetary tightening.
This revival coincides with rebounding property prices following an 18-month slump. Yet questions linger about sustainability: Is this the beginning of a new cycle or merely pent-up demand finding temporary relief? Market fragility persists amid economic uncertainty and pending ECB policy decisions.
