“80% of our clientele is comprised of French buyers, including many in their fifties looking for a second residence with potential to become their main home when they retire,”
The charm of the Drôme Provençale
Radia Amar - 08 April 2024
With its well-preserved natural areas and easy access to the motorway, the TGV stations of Avignon and Valence, and the Marseille-Marignane airport, the Drôme Provençale continues to appeal for its charm, peacefulness, and properties of character at attractive prices.
Based for over 20 years in the Drôme Provençale, in Montségur-sur-Lauzon, a charming village 9 km south of Grignan, the Solis Immobilier agency created and run by Denis Allouche focuses on the sale of authentic properties of character in an area encompassing the Drôme Provençale, southern Ardèche, the northern Gard and northern Vaucluse.
explains Denis Allouche. “The remaining 20 % of our sales is shared out between Belgian, Swiss, and a few English clients since Brexit.”
Drawn by the beauty of the landscapes, the peacefulness and accessibility of this well-preserved region, they are in search of a charming “mas” in the country, quiet, with a lovely view, proposed with or without renovation on the cards. For renovation, Solis Immobilier proposes the services of local partner craftsmen, serious and competent.
“Also popular but rarer on the market, village houses with gardens have their fans. We also propose properties with large surface areas : estates often sought after by a clientele wanting to remain active by taking up a guest-house activity for tourists, providing seasonal rentals or premises for special events.”
Overall, buyers are seeing a wide and well-balanced array of offerings at prices that have now stabilized. Determined to pursue their projects, they take up their positions very rapidly when they find a property meeting their needs. “We recently sold a property we were handling as sole agent in less than 72 hours. And in general, we find a buyer for properties of quality posted at our estimations in terms of price, in less than one month.”
