MAISONS DU SUD-OUEST, 20 YEARS ALREADY !

In two decades, Maisons du Sud-Ouest made its mark on the property market in Le Pays Basque and now enjoys a prominent position. This small firm consisting of two agencies, one in Biarritz, the other in Hossegor, is highly active and stands out for the quality and quantity of its services. Meet its founder, Edouard Gruson, and Anne François, in charge of the sales department…


Standing out from the crowd and focusing on human values form the credo of Maisons du Sud-Ouest which immediately emphasizes its special character in the esthetics of its Biarritz agency, designed as a warm home in loft style. “The human dimension is very important in our profession, it is a quality we strongly defend,” says Edouard Gruson.

“We work very closely with our clients, offering them a ready ear and availability, which enables us to build a high level of trust and work on a word-of-mouth basis.” Offering a wide range of complementary services (sales, seasonal and year-round rentals, conciergerie), Maisons du Sud-Ouest covers the most highly-prized areas of La Côte Basque, but also in Bordeaux and around the Bassin d’Arcachon.

“The area we cover is very wide, and we also work confidentially a great deal, assisting affluent clients in their acquisition projects,” explains Anne François. “The pandemic was a game-changer, bringing new buyer profiles to the region, aged between 30 and 40, and settling here as couples or as a family, and working from home. As for older clients in search of second homes, they are still very present and active. The region is still very attractive, its quality living conditions continue to appeal to a high number of buyers.”

On the subject of the market in this region, the two specialists agree : “It is still as promising, but rather tight. The new law aiming to limit the number of short-term tourist rentals will change the face of real estate significantly, with year-round rentals given precedence, especially for small apartments. Prices which have risen steeply since the Covid crisis are now stabilizing, though properties benefitting from coveted locations still fetch high prices.”
