Following two difficult years in which French politics have not been reassuring, 2025 seems to be witnessing a recovery. "The high end of the real estate market on the Co^te Basque and Landaise has presented more encouraging momentum since the fourth quarter of 2024, despite a complex political, economic and geopolitical context, and restrictions on seasonal rentals," explains Be´ne´dicte Marchal. "We are seeing the onset of a recovery without any flagrant declines in prices, but rather with readjustments. The closeness of the Co^te Basque to Spain and its tourist appeal then continue to draw foreign investors, especially those from other European countries. American clients are making a comeback, with a strong dollar encouraging investment. Buyers are not only looking for properties of quality, but also a pleasant setting.

Offering magnificent scenery, beaches, gastronomy and a rich culture, the Co^te Basque and Landaise proposes an enviable lifestyle. Furthermore, the rise of teleworking has modified the priorities of buyers who now prefer second or year-round homes in locations where living conditions are of superior quality. Which is resulting in rising demand for properties with views of the sea. We recently sold a very lovely villa at the water's edge in Hossegor for over 4.5 M€ in just a few weeks. The exceptional quality of life on the Co^te Basque and Landaise is a decisive factor in buyers' choices. With a protected natural environment, a delightful climate and infrastructures of quality, the region has become a highly sought-after place in which to live. The top end of the property market is thus shifting towards a promising future though, more than ever, seriousness is essential in our complex and demanding work. I am lucky enough to be surrounded by a highly professional team for whom human connections lie at the heart of each project." What about the future ? "After launching Saint-Jean-de-Luz in 2022, we are pursuing our development in Hossegor and plan to open an on-site agency soon in this sector."
