Coldwell Banker Bassin d’Arcachon

Ideally located on the seafront in Arcachon-Le Moulleau, this agency launched in 2013 and managed by Marina Tonneau is part of the Coldwell Banker group, one of the world’s most important estate agency networks, and a leader on the luxury market. Focus on an agency which has become a reference in the Bassin in just four years…

Since its creation, the Coldwell Banker Arcachon agency has strengthened its position on the region’s prestige market, rising in less than four years to become one of the top three agencies in Arcachon and Pyla-sur-Mer. Enjoying wide visibility, the agency offers the most prestigious properties for sale around the Bassin d’Arcachon, together with a selection of luxury villas available for seasonal rentals. Luxury which fetches top dollar on this market seeing a real boom : “Our properties are priced in a very wide bracket starting from 500,000 € and attaining up to 10 million euros,” says Marina Tonneau. “Our average sale is around 1 million euros. For seasonal rentals, one can expect to pay from 4,000 to 5,000 € per week, and up to 25,000 € for a beautiful house on the front row, facing the sea.” Drawing a well-off clientele, properties are shared out between year-round and holiday homes : “Senior executives, French clients living abroad, others from Paris and Bordeaux, but also Belgians, Anglo-Saxons, Swiss and Russian buyers account for the largest share of demand in the case of holiday homes. Otherwise, the region’s life-style appeals to a growing number of retirees wanting to acquire year-round residences”. Backed by extensive development, including the introduction of the LGV train line in July, the region is drawing more and more interest on the part of buyers : “The market is very buoyant, and lead times for sales have been reduced to 3 months for holiday homes. Now the favourite holiday destination among the French, Le Bassin d’Arcachon is also in the process of becoming a weekend destination thanks to the new LGV service. Arcachon is currently very fashionable.”
