J minus 15 before the start of the summer school holidays. In a few weeks, you will find your favorite holiday resort, for the tenth year in a row, with this question that will bother you at the end of the holidays, as every year: why not there buy a second home, Instead of always renting the same villa ? New, as long as we do, in order to avoid expensive energy renovation work and complicated to supervise since you live 400 kilometers away. A holiday home that you could rent when you are not there, in order to make this investment profitable, and which could become your main retirement residence.

In this month of June 2025, the planets seem aligned to allow you to finally materialize this project. On the one hand, the mortgage rate have dropped by approximately one point since their peak at more than 4% in the fall of 2023, to fall to 3.20% today for bans over 20 years, the most widespread duration. On the other hand, in its annual barometer on the prices of new housing in seaside resorts, published on June 19, the find-a-housing-nine site observes “a almost generous drop in seaside pricesconfirming the decrease initially observed last year “on the background of a real estate crisis. A barometer focused on the prices of the three rooms, the reference surface for real estate developers.

More moderate price reductions on the Atlantic coast

No less than 9 of the 10 main localities selected by finding-un-ninement displayed price reductions in June 2025, over a year, decreases “Sometimes significant”underlines the barometer. In a pole position: the municipalities around the Mediterranean, like The ciotatin the Bouches-du-Rhône, where the average price of a T3 tumbled by 12.89% in the last 12 months, at 419 euros, a fall of more than 60,000 euros. Always in the Bouches-du-Rhône, the average price of a new T3 to Istres also plunged just over 12%. In the Var, Saint-Raphaël knows an almost similar dropout, -10.79%. The opportunity to invest in a three rooms for 46,000 euros less than a year ago! Despite the asset of its border situation with Italy and its historic appeal, a chin also sees its prices fall back, in a much lower scale (-2.29%). Also down: Cagnes-sur-Mer (-1.41%) and Saint-Laurent-du-Var (-3.02%), also in the Alpes-Maritimes.

“These corrections are mainly explained by a price readjustment after several years of outbreak»»explains Céline COLETTO, spokesperson to find-one-lodge-nine. It is the cities of the Atlantic coast and the Channel that display the most moderate declines. On the side of La Rochelle (Charente -Maritime), Honfleur (Calvados) or La Baule (Loire -Atlantique), price reductions do not exceed -1.1 to -1.6%. “These municipalities retain their attractiveness thanks, in particular, to the presence of TGV stations allowing to join Paris quickly”decrypts the barometer. Saint-Malo, in Ille-et-Vilaine, however underwent a slightly more marked prices, at-5% in one year, at 326,600 euros on average for a three-room apartment. Note also that Capbretonin the Landes, is an exception to this moderate price drop, with a collapse of 25.86%! So here it is dethroned from its most expensive seaside resort status in the barometer last year. Céline Coletto sees it as the possible consequence of a stock of new housing to be sold because they have not yet found takers in the context of the real estate crisis.
