I was at a networking meeting and dinner at the BCC last night. Very interesting and everyone in a positive mood. Business here is certainly picking up all-round.
It is unusally busy here on the coast with many visitors taking advantage of this beautifully hot and sunny weather on the beaches and in the sea. It’s a pleasure to see when so much of northern Europe is now gripped by winter. A strange site to see people sunbathing whilst the Christmas decorations go up on the Croisette!
Some sellers still around on the coast so offers can be made but desirable properties going fast as buyers realise the bottom of the market has been reached and now on the upturn again.
I have been very busy with clients from Denmark, England, Spain and Holland. Real-estate agencies here are seeing clients from the north, other areas of France, and Russia. DO NOT DELAY IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING HERE IN THIS LOVELY AREA OF THE COTE D’AZUR. If buying right (with my necessary advice of course) you will surely see a good capital gain. Buying in the right location for continual rentals is also a good plan but must be in the correct place at the correct price.
Mortgages still low and I just offered one at 3.3% fixed for the first year or 3.75% fixed for 5 years, interest only. This is the time to make decisions for your future happiness.
See you soon – and travel safely. Jackie
