On the ground

The house market in Île de Ré, in figures

The Ré house trades around the DVF median of the survey, on a house-led market: the island of families, not apartments.

The villages read in the registry: Saint-Martin-de-Ré, Vauban’s fortified port, at its own median; Ars-en-Ré and Les Portes, the most sought, in the survey. Every village is a market.

Why use a buyer’s agent for your house in Île de Ré?

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 a house in Île de Ré: your questions

Which village on the île de Ré?

By use: Saint-Martin for port and shops, Ars and Les Portes for prized calm, La Flotte for year-round life. The DVF house medians for the 12 months to end of June 2026 price each village (€7,200/m² in Saint-Martin, €6,700/m² in Ars and Les Portes, €6,800/m² in La Flotte): the arbitrage is factual.

Do island houses sell on listings?

Less and less: the island lives to the rhythm of families handing houses down, and a significant share plays out before publication, through notaires and local networks. The heart of the hunt.

What does a house in Île de Ré cost?

The median stands at €6,400/m² across 446 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 on the île de Ré with a buyer’s agent?

The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Île de Ré 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 on the île de Ré?

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 Île de Ré, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Saint-Martin-de-Ré, then Ars-en-Ré and Les Portes. That is often where the unfindable property is.

What are your fees for buying a house in Île de Ré?

Home Select, a buyer’s agent on the île de Ré, 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.
