That sounds like a good price.

Yeah..that's my thinking.

I emailed them for more details about what the price includes, like bath/kitchen/laundry fixtures, hardware, and appliances, as well as the hvac system, ect.

These components add up fast.

Also..how much for a garage and petite salt water piscine and maybe a palm tree/ Package deal

Then i'll compare the price to similar sized, relatively modern, energy efficient pre-owned homes.

We'll see.

Planning the next phase of life in France is all very exciting.

Dear Bill,

The cost of materials and taxes to build will make that you pay more than buying an existing property. As a foreigner things are really complicated. I would encourage you better to find a property already built. Also to look in good villages around Beziers as you have anyway bus services (some have a train station like Magalas). You will get much more for your money, pay less annual taxes on the property.

Wishing you a nice day,

Freddy

Thanks.

You are probably right. If you add on all the accessories, it might be better just to buy a house, where all is in place.

Yes when you consider fences, gates, tiling of the terraces, and you still have a house with no trees, no plants in an area where shade is also important.

Freddy what is your advice for someone seeking property in Narbonne and how would you describe the transportation system between Narbonne and the villages nearby? Which is your website?

I agree that building a home in an era of high shipping costs and inflated prices related to shipping is an unwise decision. That's true no matter where you live.

@hanvenwey

There are bus services every day in all the villages, more in school times than on holiday times. In general 2/3 departures per day and the same for the return in the evening (nothing the night).
