Real estate: signs of recovery in the Var

Gilles Pernod, vice president of the federation property development, said: "We made 400 sales, or 7 to 8% better than Q2. "The prices have also increased slightly. With an average price per square meter of 3 900th in 2008 increased to 3 940 e in the first half of 2009 and EUR 4 154th currently. "It is because they sell more small homes, which have a cost higher," adds Gilles Pernod. However, caution is still required. For if real economic recovery, the industry faces a downturn in the short term. "The reconstruction of new supply is not. Usually, 500 new homes are put on sale. Here, we produced only 300 "
