2. Ramatuelle

 

 

Who has never dreamed of being the New Romy Schneider or Alain Delon at the edge of a swimming pool in the heart of La Madrague? Ramatuelle is an emblematic place. Vineyards, pine forests, “Pampelonne” beaches and club 55, the town, a hotspot for the jet-set, has also managed to keep its authenticity and its Provencal charm.

Its wild and nearby coastline with its protected coves and its heavenly-looking beaches.

Grimaud and its port, called "the little Venice of Provence", is a place where getting around by boat is part of the daily life. Located on the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, this village with its unique medieval identity will charm you. Besides, Grimaud is also a safety and very intimate place, a little further away the tumult of Saint Tropez.

 

4. Sainte-Maxime

 

 

Protected from the mistral by the wooded hills of the “Massif des Maures”, the town opens onto the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Its coastline, facing the south, stretches over 11km, offering an alternation of large fine sandy beaches and secret natural coves. Its biggest advantage? Contrary to most of villages, Sainte Maxime is a pleasant and animated place to live both in summer and winter.

 

 

5. La Croix-Valmer

 

Long in the shadow of Saint-Tropez, La Croix Valmer has nothing to envy to this latter. Quiet and wilder, La Croix Valmer has become a privileged destination for those who want to relax on heavenly beaches, as a couple or as a family.

When to buy or sell in Saint-Tropez ?

 

                In the region of Saint-Tropez, the real estate market is experiencing a clear imbalance: the demand is more significant than the supply and it may be explained by two things: the demand is increasing exponentially because of covid, but concomitantly, owners no longer want to sell to remain focused on France. Consequently, prices are rising sharply in areas already listed (Ramatuelle, Parcs of Saint-Tropez), but are exploding too in the surrounding area, such as Sainte-Maxime, Gassin, Croix Valmer.

 

This increase is clearly visible across the entire market, around 19% over 1 year and 35% over 5 years. Finally, The real estate market on the Côte d'Azur, and more particularly Saint-Tropez, is highly influenced by seasonality.

Thus, our agents are there in order to guide you in the purchase, sale but also the management of properties.

 

When to sell your property?

 

            Firstly, if you wish to sell in Ramatuelle or Saint-Tropez, we advise you to do so over the period between November and January. Demand is particularly high since future buyers are looking to anticipate the summer season. Moreover, one may observe a negative correlation with the number of estates on the market during the same period, what gives you the advantage.

Yet, if you prefer to sell in Sainte-Maxime or “La Croix-Valmer”, we recommend doing it in October. Besides, 2022 also stands as the best year, as the result of Covid’s backlash. Prices were already very high in the town of Saint-Tropez and Ramatuelle, but Gassin, Sainte-Maxime, Grimaud and La Croix-Valmer are benefiting from this boom.

 

When to buy a new property?

 

                If, on the other hand, you want to buy a property, you will find a wider range of choices during the months of April and June (even if June may be a little more to your disadvantage since it marks the start of rentals seasonal).
