Beyond its purely tourist appeal, Nice can meet a different real estate requirement: the loft. These spacious and versatile living spaces, often housed in renovated industrial buildings or former warehouses, are growing in popularity among buyers looking for an urban, contemporary lifestyle. A niche for offbeat customers Lofts offer a unique blend of industrial aesthetic and modernity, mostly with very high ceilings, open interiors and skylights. In Nice, where ancient architecture meets modern design, lofts fit seamlessly into the city's diverse urban landscape. The ability to customize these spaces to meet buyers’ individual needs makes them even more appealing. Growing demand Over the years, the demand for lofts in Nice has seen a significant increase. Buyers, whether locals looking for a primary residence, professionals looking for a different office space, or foreigners looking for a secondary property, are all attracted to the disruptive nature of these products. In addition, the central location of certain lofts, located in rapidly revitalizing areas such as Old Nice or the Port district, makes them increasingly sought-after investments. Market Trends Real estate market data indicates that the price of lofts in Nice has increased steadily over recent years, reflecting the demand for this type of property. Buyers are ready to invest in living spaces that offer both style and functionality, and lofts fit that bill perfectly. Challenges and opportunities Although the loft market in Nice is booming, it also presents challenges. The scarcity of industrial buildings suitable for loft conversion can limit supply, which can lead to higher prices. In addition, competition between buyers can make the acquisition of a loft particularly competitive. However, these challenges present opportunities for real estate investors and developers. The renovation of underused or abandoned industrial buildings presents considerable development potential, making it possible to meet the growing demand for lofts in Nice while contributing to urban revitalization. The real estate sales market for lofts in Nice is therefore booming, fueled by a growing demand for unconventional living spaces. With its blend of industrial aesthetics, modern design and ideal location on the French Riviera, lofts continue to attract buyers seeking a more sophisticated urban lifestyle. As the market evolves, investment and development opportunities abound, making lofts one of the key segments of the Nice real estate market for years to come.

i-buying, in other words instant real estate purchase - or almost - is an emerging business model in the world of housing. In the United States where it was created, this would today represent around 1% of annual sales. Here's an overview of the benefits for sellers. Historical i-buying first appeared in the United States in the early 2010s. The company Zillow was one of the pioneers in this field with the launch of its "Zillow Offers" service in 2018. Since then, a few Companies, including startups such as Opendoor, Offerpad, and Redfin, have joined the i-buying market. In France, the market leader platform created in 2016 is called Homeloop. Benefits 1. Convenience : Buyers and sellers can conduct real estate transactions entirely online, eliminating many of the hassles associated with traditional real estate sales, such as showings, negotiations, etc. 2. Speed : i-buying transactions are generally fast. Sellers can receive an offer from the solicited platform in just a few days, and the sale can be completed within 30 to 40 days, which is significantly faster than the traditional real estate sales process. 3. Price transparency : i-buying platforms use algorithms to estimate home prices, making the process more transparent and often eliminating the need for complex price negotiations. 4. Less uncertainty : Offers from online buyers are often firm and without financing conditions, which means that sellers have the certainty that the sale will be made at that price, thus eliminating the risk of last minute withdrawals. 5. Less hassle : With i-buying, sellers avoid the hassle linked to delays, the risk of withdrawal, repairs to be carried out before the sale, the numerous visits necessary and the sometimes endless negotiations with potential buyers. 6. Flexibility : Sellers can often choose the closing date that works best for them, allowing them to plan accordingly. 7. Access to liquidity : Sellers who find themselves in emergency situations (joint ownership, inheritance, bridge credit) can obtain money very quickly, which further reduces their holding costs. Please note that i-buying may not be suitable for all sellers. Properties located in areas with a less buoyant property market or those requiring extensive repairs may not be eligible for i-buying. In addition, the fees associated with i-buying are on average twice as high as the fees of traditional real estate agencies.

This is the transcript of my latest audio segment. My name is Jean-Christophe DIMINO, real estate broker working with Keller Williams Luxury in France, based in Nice on the French Riviera. In other words, i MAY be your buyer agent in the FOREIGN city you dream ABOUT. Give me a call, i will handle this. So, you've decided to buy in France, a house or an appartement specifically in my home town Nice, or in Cannes, Antibes, St Tropez, Paris anywhere ! There are many costs to be expected in addition to the purchase. It is best to be aware of these before you buy. What are they? How can they be reduced? Listen to me. 1. Notary fees 2. Property tax 3. Local taxes 4. Co-ownership charges Let’s talk about Notary fees Usually it is around 7 or 8% of the sale price. The Notary is like a lawyer working for the State who collects all the national and local taxes claimed by the authorities. Plus the Notary charges is own fees. So don’t forget between 7 and 8 % of the sale price. This could be less, around 3% but only in case of buying some new buildings or new development. Property tax In France, all property owners must pay this tax. How much ? It depends a lot between house and appartment and where it is located. You pay it once a year. Usually it is up to the owner on the 1st of January. In practice, the costs are very often split in two, according to the rule: if you buy in June for example, the seller and the buyer pay the amount corresponding to the duration of the occupancy. Local taxes If you want to buy some holiday home or secondary residence, you will have to pay some local taxes. The amount varies greatly from one city to another. Once a year, you'll pay directly to the community for your local occupancy. All secondary residences remain subject to this called " taxe d'habitation ", even undergoing strong revaluations if they are located in very tense cities. Co-ownership charges Living in a flat offers a certain comfort. The common areas are cleaned every week. The boiler can be serviced by the " syndic " - the building manager - the lift, the green spaces, the swimming pool etc. All these services have a cost. Even if the final bill is divided among the various co-owners, this recurring bill has to be added to your budget. Don't forget to take this into account when looking for a flat or a house in a condominium. Of course, the more recent and well-maintained the building is, the more these costs will remain fixed. That is why new development real estate can be cheaper in charges, but sometimes much higher in prices for sale. Thanks for joining me, i’m your buying agent in France, on the French Riviera typically. Please, subscribe to this podcast.

This residence of almost 500m2 will delight lovers of old stone and haute-couture. This is an artist's residence. Located in the small commune of BAGNOLS-EN-FORÊT (83600), this property was completely redesigned by the Belgian fashion designer Jules-François CRAHAY and his partner in the 1970s and 80s. Originally designed around an old ruined farmhouse, the house was also a residence for artists and painters. Many traces of this era are still visible in places, notably in the guest house. Just like the large-format canvases that still line the walls of the main property. Jules-François CRAHAY was a Franco-Belgian couturier renowned in the 1950s for his 'strict and loose' designs worn by celebrities such as Claudia CARDINALE and Jackie KENNEDY. Parisian haute-couture circles even pitted him against his illustrious contemporary, a certain Christian DIOR. In 2024, the Fashion Museum Mode et Dentelle in Brussels will pay tribute to him by exhibiting some of his creations for Nina Ricci and LANVIN, of which he was artistic director. The current owner - a former British publicist - bought the property from the couturier's friend more than 30 years ago. He has taken care to preserve the spirit of the place and even some of the couple's personal archives, including hundreds of fashion magazines from the period. Built with his own hands The 478 m2 estate is set amidst the vineyards of the eastern Var. It comprises two main farmhouses surrounded by outbuildings (caretaker's cottage, guest house, workshop).
