Bazadais, its heritage, its meadows, its pine forests, its large houses, its wooden drying racks. A dream for a certain clientele tired of the city or tired of the Atlantic coast, which is saturated in summer. “Stone property, with character, without neighbors and land is still quite sought after, but the market has slowed down and prices have fallen. » Real estate advisor at The South-Gironde Heritage Shop in BazasMarion Baribeaud observes, as elsewhere, a decrease in transactions. Even on the country house market which we talked about so much after Covid.

“After Covid, we had a lot of families from the North of France who came to Bazadais to be closer to their children. But also requests for large properties with outbuildings to develop a professional activity with lodgings, seminars and weddings. But today, prices are too high and sellers don’t want to hear anything,” points out Sophie Lefevre, real estate advisor at Clairimmo in Bazas.

At the Bazadais Real Estate agency, the number of properties for sale fell to 250 after Covid, when many buyers turned to country houses. Today, the agency has 460 goods in stock.

Listed at the price of 580,000 euros at Immobilier Bazadais, an old renovated farm with swimming pool and 10 hectares has found a buyer. However, real estate agent Bruno Pleinevert also describes “a very calm market in all areas”. “Except for rental”, a sign that buyers are giving up buying and preferring to rent. “Before Covid, I had 400 goods in stock. I dropped to 250 right after. But today, I went back to 460 properties. There are many more sellers than buyers, with sellers having difficulty lowering prices. It’s true that there was a certain enthusiasm for the campaign after Covid, but it died down very quickly. »
