Interview Marie-Madeleine Nelson, Un Mas en Provence

In spite of the current economic crisis, our business remains strong in the Luberon and the Alpilles. Of course, owners don't want to undersell at the moment while buyers are biding their time in the hope of securing an attractive deal, but the activity will pick up eventually. In recent months, prices of old houses have decreased between 10 to 20 %. The most sought-after properties are farmhouses with four or five bedrooms and a swimming pool. A clear view is definitely a plus. These houses, ranging from €2,000,000 to €3,000,000, are located near charming villages in quiet spots. Buyers from France, Switzerland and Belgium have replaced the usual British and US customers. We always keep our clients informed about the latest tax incentives and provide all kinds of services, whether it's contracting an architect or a landscape gardener.
