Buy a house in Cannes
The Cannes house is the exception in a town of apartments: a narrow volume, on La Croix des Gardes, in Le Suquet and in the immediate hinterland of Le Cannet and Mougins. Home Select hunts it privately, before publication, and checks the land as much as the walls before you buy.

The house market in Cannes, in figures
A house in Cannes trades around the DVF median for houses, €6,100/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, a figure to read on a narrow volume: the town sells apartments, and every house counts. Per square metre it costs more than the Cannes apartment (€5,800/m²), because the land, the calm and the view are bought along with the walls. The market is family-driven on La Croix des Gardes and in Le Cannet, patrimonial on the hills, where villas held for decades are passed on more often than they are sold.
Who buys: families who want a garden ten minutes from the centre, in a town that lives all year with its schools, its hospital and its station. What is rare: a house for sale in Le Suquet with a view of the harbour, a house in the greenery of La Croix des Gardes, partly a departmental nature park. What gets checked: the rules of the private estates, specifications, roads and easements, and the PLU below, the only protection of a view. Towards Mouans-Sartoux and Valbonne, the median for houses drops to €4,700/m².

Frequently asked questions
Buying a house in Cannes: your questions
La Croix des Gardes or Le Cannet: where to buy a house in Cannes?
La Croix des Gardes sells the western slope: the wooded hill between Cannes and Mandelieu, houses in the greenery, views of the Lérins islands, a family and confidential market where the fine addresses change hands privately. Le Cannet sells its upper districts facing the sea and, often, twice the floor area for half the budget of a La Croisette address. Both stay ten to fifteen minutes from the centre: usage decides, absolute calm or the schools and the station.
What should I check before buying a house on the Cannes hills?
First the status of the land: a share of the houses on the hills belongs to private estates, with specifications, roads and easements that bind the buyer. Then the PLU below, the only protection of a view. Finally the building: regulated rendering and fences, septic systems inspected by the SPANC where there is no mains drainage, compulsory brush clearing within 50 m in exposed areas. Have the works priced before the offer: Home Select checks every document before you commit.
What does a house in Cannes cost?
The median stands at €6,100/m² across 107 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 Cannes with a property finder?
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Cannes 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 Cannes?
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 Cannes, the monitoring starts with two sectors: La Croisette and La Banane, then La Californie and Super Cannes. That is often where the unfindable property is.
What are your fees for buying a house in Cannes?
Home Select, a property finder in Cannes, 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. Home Select is paid on success only: nothing is due until you have bought.
