Mougins — Quartier de Pibonson, The 12-Year Register

The Pibonson quartier, delineated on the cadastre — sections BY · DM, wall to wall: the two sections that carry the cadastral Pibonson lieux-dits, threaded by the avenue de Pibonson — villas only, DVF 2014–2025, estate-deduplicated. Every figure rests on sales individually qualified by the Intelligence Unit; non-comparable recordings are set aside, never averaged in.

Intelligence Analytics distills one pocket into its DVF metrics: every qualified villa sale in the Pibonson quarter of Mougins over twelve years, read by transaction count, by value, and parcel by parcel on the cadastre.

Market data

PIBONSON — SET AGAINST THE COAST

Key findings

1
Seven lots in eight have never traded

The cadastre counts 387 villa-scale lots across the quartier. Twelve years of DVF touched 52 of them — 87% have not changed hands once in the recorded twelve years, an implied average holding of ~76 years. Pibonson is not a market that clears; it is a register that opens about five times a year for an entire quartier.

2
The ceiling is new

The twelve-year ceiling stands at €5.80M — avenue de Pibonson, January 2024 — printed in the current cycle at more than five times the quartier's twelve-year median. Even a register this quiet carries a full price ladder, and its top rung is new.

3
The median has re-based

The median sale moved from €820K (2014–2020) to €1.13M (2021–2025) — +38%, and since 2021 the quartier trades at 1.3× the Mougins commune median (€894K).

4
The market changed weight class

Deeds at €2M+ numbered 2 across 2014–2020 and 13 across 2021–2025; every €3M+ deed of the series (4 of them) has printed since 2022. The record year is 2022 — 12 deeds, €21M traded.

5
The quartier re-rates from within

6 villas — parcel-proven, the same physical property — came back to the register a second time inside the twelve years, 5 of them higher. The steepest — 30 chemin de la Commune, €820K in 2020 to €2.02M in 2023, the recorded floor unchanged — re-rated as it stood; the re-rating table and slopegraph below price the mechanism, works flagged where the recorded floor changed.

The thesis — the register that barely opens

Pibonson is Mougins' western slope: the land the cadastre has called by that name since its oldest plates, falling away from the vieux village towards the Siagne plain, with the avenue de Pibonson as its spine and the chemins de la Grande Bastide, de la Commune and des Cabrières as its edges. No gate, no signage, no through destination — family villas on lots the cadastre counts in hundreds of square metres to a few thousand, held the way the numbers say they are held: 387 villa-scale lots, and seven in eight of them untouched by a single deed in twelve recorded years.

What the twelve years do show is an entry-class market quietly changing class. The median deed has moved up 38% since 2021 and now clears above the commune's own median; every €3M+ deed of the series has printed since 2022; and the ceiling — €5.80M on the avenue itself, January 2024 — printed in this same cycle, at more than five times the quartier's twelve-year median. Where Les Colles prices land that cannot be re-cut and the gated domains price their perimeter, Pibonson prices the third Mougins formula: the ordinary-looking quartier whose register almost never opens — and re-rates even where the recorded floor never changes. The plates at the end of this dossier show it at cadastral resolution — 647 parcels, sparsely lit by twelve years of sales, re-lit twice on six of them.

Recorded floor areas at resale sometimes differ from the first passage — the houses come back extended or rebuilt. DVF cannot separate works from market movement; the table prices the two together.

Caveats. The quartier is delineated on the cadastre: sections BY and DM of Mougins — the two sections carrying the Pibonson lieux-dits — taken whole; fringe voies inside the sections are included, and nothing outside them is, even where the avenue de Pibonson runs on through neighbouring sections. The population of 387 villa-scale lots (≥ 400 m²) is established from the cadastral parcel fabric; turnover ratios use it as denominator, and multi-parcel estates mean the true count of properties is somewhat lower — the never-traded share is therefore a floor, not a flourish. Deeds are estate-deduplicated by (date, value). Every figure rests on transactions individually qualified by the Intelligence Unit before entering any average; the qualification protocol is proprietary. DVF records asset deals only — SCI-share transactions never appear, and larger villas commonly trade in corporate form, so the true depth of this market is structurally understated. Recorded built areas may cover only part of the conveyed property and are not relied on. Vintages 2014–2020 are drawn from archival DGFiP releases; street addresses are absent from the 2014–2015 records, so those deeds are attributed by cadastral parcel. 2025 runs through the December DVF release.
