AK.SO CONSEILS : A FRESH CHALLENGE

Already occupying a prime position on the high-end market in Lyon, AK.SO Conseils confirms its place as a leader by joining the prestigious, worldwide real-estate network, Sotheby’s International Realty. Operating from new premises, this agency directed by Sophie Aknine is writing a new chapter in its history, 12 years after its launch.

Backed by in-depth mastery of the exceptional property market in Lyon and the west side of Lyon, AK.SO Conseils is pursuing its development and impressive success by joining the renowned network. “Belonging to the Sotheby’s International Realty network opens the doors to new areas in France and on the international scene. This prestigious network now enjoys an unsurpassed reputation on the world’s most important luxury property markets, and our membership offers us very sound assets for the future,” says Sophie Aknine. On the subject of Lyon’s property market, she explains : “It is still witnessing strong growth but is affected by scarce availabilities. 2019 has been a very good year, prices are high, but the market is stable, demand steady, and apartments with terraces are highly coveted. We recently handled two record sales : an apartment of 350 m2 on Place Antonin Poncet, priced at 2.8 million euros, and a house of 600 m2 in Ecully, priced at 3,850,000 €. On average, prices range from 6,500 to 8,500 € per sq.m in prized neighbourhoods like the Presqu’île and 6th arrondissement, rising to 12,000 € per sq.m for new developments. In parallel, we are seeing the emergence of new neighbourhoods such as the heart of Monplaisir, offering fine opportunities at more affordable prices, from 5,500 to 6,500 € per sq.m. Not forgetting Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or, always popular for its country atmosphere, yet near the city. Our clients are mainly from Lyon and Paris, though we have a rising number of foreign buyers settling in Lyon for professional reasons, and looking for properties of quality”.
