NEW HOME, INCURSION TO LE VAR
Initially based in Fayence, then Lorgues in 2007, the agency has also covered the coastline of Le Var from Sainte-Maxime for the past two years. These specialists of the hinterland now propose high-end properties overlooking the Mediterranean, facing the Saint-Tropez peninsula.
Born in Holland, Rob Brink expertly conducts the activities of New Home with its team of 12 in three different agencies. The past two years bear witness to the keenness of Parisians wanting to settle in the South of France as soon as they retire.
After selling their properties in or near the capital, they willingly part with 600,000 to 900,000 € for a villa of 200-250 m2 in grounds of 3,000-4,000 m2 with a pool. Since the pandemic, the interest of north Europeans also seems to have intensified for houses with gardens, near authentic villages in Le Var and neighbourhood shops.
On the coast - ie. Sainte-Maxime, Les Issambres, Grimaud and, to a lesser extent, Saint-Aygulf - comfortable turnkey villas of 250-400 m2 with sea views, in grounds of 1,000-3,000 m2, attract a clientele looking for second homes and ready to spend from 2 to 5 million euros. Over the past weeks marked by the war in Ukraine, inflation and the international economic context in general, a slight rise has been noticed in the number of properties being offered for sale, along with more hesitant demand.
A phenomenon reinforced by the seasonal aspect, the autumn having always been more conducive to the rebuilding of stocks. Rob Brink nevertheless remains optimistic. This address offers many qualities : luxuriant nature, 300 days of sunshine per year, and total accessibility thanks to the proximity of the airports of Nice, Toulon and Marseille, and the TGV stations of Aix-en-Provence and the capital of Les Bouches-du-Rhône.
