Buy a house in Montpellier
Montpellier sells France’s youngest city, a medieval Écusson and the sea a quarter of an hour away, but its houses are few: Boutonnet, Aiguelongue, the first pines. Home Select hunts the Montpellier house with a garden, often unlisted.

The house market in Montpellier, in figures
A house for sale in Montpellier is a rare product in a city of apartments: the DVF survey records far fewer of them than apartments, and the house median, €3,700/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, sits above the apartment median, €3,400/m². Who buys: local families consolidating Boutonnet and Aiguelongue, professionals on the move arriving by TGV, doctors and researchers from the university hospital and the university, tech entrepreneurs. What is checked: the garden and its summer exposure, parking, the condition of the building and the planning rules of the plot.
The outer ring redraws the scale: towards the sea, Lattes and Pérols show a higher house median, €4,500/m²; on the western side, Juvignac and Saint-Jean-de-Védas stay at their own median, €3,300/m². The student market blurs the averages: a family house compares with its peers. Between Boutonnet, the villa of the outer ring and the waterfront of Palavas or La Grande-Motte, the arbitrage is quantified: Home Select hunts both markets in parallel, with its network of 15,000 partners.

Frequently asked questions
Buying a house in Montpellier: your questions
A house in Boutonnet or a villa in Lattes: how to choose?
By use, then by figures. Boutonnet and Aiguelongue sell the house with a garden ten minutes from the Comédie, tram and schools within reach. Lattes and Pérols sell the outer ring between city and sea, with a house median of €4,500/m² in the survey for the 12 months to end of June 2026, against €3,700/m² in Montpellier itself. One is lived on foot and by tram, the other with the beach within reach. Home Select hunts both in parallel and settles the brief with the figures in hand.
What should be checked before buying a house in Montpellier?
The land first: boundaries, easements, planning rules, and what the garden is really worth once its summer exposure has been measured. The building next: roof, structure, insulation; for a mansion in the Écusson, structures, damp and party walls, under the prescriptions of the Bâtiments de France. Have the works priced before the offer. The price, finally, is set against comparable DVF house sales, never against averages pulled up by small student units.
What does a house in Montpellier cost?
The median stands at €3,700/m² across 496 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 Montpellier with a property finder?
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Montpellier 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 Montpellier?
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 Montpellier, the monitoring starts with two sectors: L’Écusson and Beaux-Arts, then Les Arceaux. That is often where the unfindable property is.
What are your fees for buying a house in Montpellier?
Home Select, a property finder in Montpellier, 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.
