We have to do a customer with no money problems

Bandol in Six-Fours from Saint-Cyr, the market is difficult to identify. "In January, he had the air to be distributed but since it is the return to calm, said the head of the Agency Bandol.". The economic situation concerned the purchasers and some who have lost in the stock market are waiting for better days for their project. "As everywhere, the candidates to buy prefer small surfaces. "Over 500,000 euros, it becomes difficult to sell in a secondary residence," confirms this professional. The maximum budget is rather around 300,000 euros. And at this price, ask to buy a House. Except to move away from the coast. But even in top Var, prices remain high despite the decrease noted by the Chamber of notaries (-17 over a year). What gives the measure of the lack of spirit of the purchasers. "It works primarily with local purchasers and activity remains very soft but we have been ill-served by time, says Dominique Varé agency Pierre Azur. However, it would appear that activity judder a little. "In the sector of Lorgues, the beautiful properties abound. Good business not more. "A property which was to sell 900,000 euros saw its price falling to 670,000 euros, without purchaser", says Dominique Varé.

Same tone on the coastline where the vendors do however not much efforts, in terms of price, to attract buyers. Not eager to sell, they expect a rebound in prices. Apart from markets atypical as Saint-Tropez or Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat draining a foreign to top customer purchasing power, the market remains wait. "On the very top of range, there is a shortage of products treated or well renovated for a clientele that comes from Benelux and the North of Europe more generally", said Pierre Pire, senior expert at the Credit Foncier. This market, the price decline is relatively low, sellers prefer removing the property from the market rather than do not achieve the expected added value. This is the case of Saint-Tropez, where there are few property to sell, even in village houses.

Foreign purchasers

When they are not on Saint Tropez and Ramatuelle, purchasers explore La Croix Valmer or Grimaud where the market resisted better than elsewhere.

A charming House just to sell 1.35 million euros. Less expensive, a little mas paired with a nice view just found licensee 690.000 EUR. Another example, in Cavalaire, a land of 1,500 square metres appears to currently euros. Fréjus and Saint-Raphaël, real estate agents are less optimistic. "Goods between 400,000 and 900,000 euros are too expensive and even apartments enter more in budgets," indicates a professional.

In the Alpes-Maritimes, the secondary residential market is hardly more flourishing. Except in certain niche markets. At Mougins, for example. "Buyers are new present, says Antoine Garcin agency Emile Garcin. They are 70 foreign or non-residents and seek unique property in the architecture, the view... "Here, for a beautiful house with a view, it takes between 2 and 3 million euros.

Same order of price in Villefranche-sur-Mer and Beaulieu, where many goods are for sale. Here, "the Russians and the English had disappeared because of the change, but we hope to be back with the decline of the euro." According to Pierre Pire, "between 500,000 and 1 million euros, there are many products to sell, often little taste of the day, and whose prices are lower. Currently, they have dropped 10-15 on any coast, what professionals believe still insufficient.
