Finally some good news, the purchasing power of "real" progress since the first months of 2008. 
 
   
 
 In fact, the result of a combination of several factors: 
 
 -  settlement interest rate loans  (4, 60% fixed over 15 years, no increase or decrease in sight) 
 
 -  slowdown of rising prices  (down 1% on the first three months of 2008 but still up 2.1% last year). 
 
 -  opportunity last year to deduct a portion of loan interest tax  (this helps to lower the lending rates to 0.4%: 4.60% -0.4% = 4 , 20% => This is a good rate) 
 
 
 These three factors led to a decline in the monthly payment for the same credit as compared to January 2008, this decline is 2.6%.
