The apartment market in Nice, in figures

The Nice apartment trades around the DVF median of the survey on a huge volume: the deepest market of the Côte d’Azur, where every quarter has its price and its clientele.

The neighbouring shore changes the scale: Villefranche-sur-Mer, Beaulieu and Èze show a median of nearly double, in the survey. Many clients arbitrate: the view on both shores, the floor area on one.

Why use a buyer’s agent for your apartment in Nice?

The best addresses never list

On this market, a share of the sought-after properties sells before publication, between families and through notaires and local networks. Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties every day from its network of 15,000 partners.

You only view the essential

Every lead is verified and priced for you before you travel, on file then on a video viewing: you view only the shortlisted properties, your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip. Home Select then defends your offer, with a complete file and the actual sales of the area in hand.

The building audited before you commit

Surveys, co-ownership rules, easements, local building specifics: every document is checked before you commit.

One method, two ways in

Both are billed only if the property is found and the purchase completed. On top comes 10% of the negotiated reduction: Home Select is also paid on what you save.

Frequently asked questions

Buying an apartment in Nice: your questions

Can you still find a sea view in Nice at a fair price?

Yes, on Nice terms: the DVF median for apartments, €4,900/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, stays below those of Menton and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin (€5,500/m²) and of Villefranche-sur-Mer, Beaulieu and Èze (€8,400/m²). An open view commands more, and high floors with a lift are scarce: that is the hunt, finding them before the others.

Nice or the Villefranche shore?

Two distinct markets: Nice sells the city and its services at its median, €4,900/m² for apartments over the 12 months to end of June 2026; the shore sells calm at a much higher price, €8,400/m² for Villefranche-sur-Mer, Beaulieu and Èze. The hunt documents both, depending on the intended use.

What does an apartment in Nice cost?

The median stands at €4,900/m² across 7,740 sales recorded over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026). It is a market benchmark, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.

How long does it take to buy in Nice with a buyer’s agent?

The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Nice and on your availability: Home Select frames it at the brief, then holds it. Properties are first seen on video, and your decisive viewings are grouped into a single trip.

How do you reach off-market properties in Nice?

Through the network and direct approach: Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Nice, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Cimiez, then Mont Boron. That is often where the unfindable property is.

What are your fees for buying an apartment in Nice?

Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Nice, charges 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT) on the Exclusive offer, or 1.5% on the Confidential offer for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Home Select is paid on success only, and also on what you save: nothing is due until you have bought.
