Where these figures come from
Prices come from actual sales recorded by the French tax authority (the DVF database): only sales of a single house or a single flat, with no commercial premises. The median price is the one that splits the sales into two halves; it is brought to the level of the last 12 months using the price trend of the département.
In an occupied viager, the buyer pays the value of the property minus the value of the use the seller keeps. This occupied value is split between a bouquet, paid upfront, and a rente paid for life. To check a specific listing, the simulator compares the property with the closest sales and calculates the yield after all costs.
