2009 was a quiet year for Sainte Maxime property sales, in common with Saint Tropez. In the last 3 months the property market came to life with more viewings, offers and sales starting to come through, as the “canny buyers” began to invest before the market returns to it’s previous highs. As with Saint Tropez, demand was mainly from Dutch, Belgium, Italian, French and British Families looking for a second home in a top quality location.

Few of the big Russian buyers of the last few years invested in Sainte Maxime, and did not overly affect the prices in the same way as they did in Saint Tropez; the slow down in sales mainly came from the reluctance of lenders to offer mortgages, rather than lack of supply or demand.

Saint Maxime is a popular location for buying property, your money will go a lot further here in terms of property size. In Sainte Maxime, 1.5 million Euros will buy a villa twice the size of a similarly priced villa for sale in Saint Tropez.

When looking for a property for sale in Sainte Maxime, note that modernised, well presented villas are the first to sell.  Many buyers want to buy a property that can be moved into immediately, rather than renovate an older property using the notoriously bad and expensive local builders.

But do not be put off buying a property because it needs some renovation, bought at the right price, and with careful management you can buy a property that matches all your requirements and one that will show a good return on your investment.

Prices did plateau last year and selling prices for properties at the lower end of the market fell slightly, but many real estate agents and property market analysts are forecasting growth to return.
