100,000 euros is a very small amount for a tax deduction, because real estate is more expensive in France. And such a deduction can be made once every 15 years. Russia has the simplest tax legislation for individuals, and the most uneducated citizen can understand it. This article contains very complex calculation rules that will most likely require the additional services of tax lawyers.
I know that salaries are high in Europe, but I heard from people that up to half of their income is spent on taxes and insurance.

It's been years that wages are no longer in line with real estate prices. Previously everyone could buy their home based on their salary, despite high borrowing rates. A worker could buy a house without his wife working (in the 1960s). Then wages no longer kept up with inflation (1983, socialist government, unless I'm mistaken).

Now even people with high wages have to go into 30-year debt to buy an apartment in Paris or a big city. Real estate prices are insane.

But a lot will happen in the months to come: if the owners have to do some kind of advanced technical control of their house to sell and must have a property that complies ecologically with the government's requirements, it is very likely to stop the machine. Not all homeowners can afford expensive work to insulate their home before selling it.

The rental market is super tight: prices are also soaring in the big cities and seaside resorts. There too it will be necessary to rent with precise environmental standards, in addition to that it takes at least two years to evict a tenant who does not pay his rent, investors turn to seasonal rentals or invest in something else.

Let's see what will happen in the following months ...

I don't understand why real estate prices are rising in France. Investors do not want to buy expensive real estate and invest in other countries with a good climate, such as Georgia, where you can invest in construction at an early stage and get an apartment at a price of 800-1000 dollars per square meter without renovation. How do you like these prices?
