Buy a house in Nice
Nice is a city of apartments: the house is rare there, tucked away on the hills from Gairaut to Mont Boron, and often sells without a listing. Home Select hunts the Nice house before it is published, steers the video pre-viewing and brings you over only for the decisive viewings, in a single trip.

The house market in Nice, in figures
A house for sale in Nice trades around the house median of the survey, above the apartment median: houses make up only a small share of Nice sales, and family and international demand competes for plots that no longer grow. Per square metre, small houses cost more than large ones, proximity to the centre and the sea being worth more than floor area. The range is very wide: a neighbourhood house to renovate and a villa facing the bay do not read on the same scale.
Two markets in one, as for the whole city. The hills, from Gairaut to Mont Boron, carry the villas and quiet properties, where the view over the baie des Anges, the access and the exposure are checked with care and at the local planning plan; Mont Boron, between the port and Villefranche, is the micro-market where the front sea view commands everything. Behind, the hinterland of Levens, Aspremont and Colomars sells the same light at a much lower house median, shown in the survey panel: space is found inland, the sea is paid for in town.

Where exactly, in Nice and around?
Mont Boron, its older or contemporary villas facing the bay, between the port and Villefranche; Gairaut and the hills, quiet properties and plunging views over the baie des Anges; Cimiez, for those who prefer the volumes of a grand former-hotel apartment to a house; the hinterland of Levens, Aspremont and Colomars, to compare.

Frequently asked questions
Buying a house in Nice: your questions
A house in Nice or in the hinterland: how to decide?
Nice sells the sea, the city and an international airport ten minutes from the centre; Levens, Aspremont and Colomars sell floor area, land and the calm of the hills. The DVF survey for the 12 months to end of June 2026 gives a house median of €6,000/m² in Nice, against €3,600/m² in the hinterland; in Nice itself, the house costs more than the €4,900/m² of the apartment. Home Select documents both markets remotely.
What should you check before buying a house on the hills of Nice?
The view first, at the local planning plan: buildable plots below, permitted heights, neighbouring vegetation. Then access, slope and exposure at the hours you will live in the house; in a zone exposed to forest fire, clearing is compulsory within 50 metres of the buildings; non-mains drainage is inspected by the SPANC. Home Select checks these points on paper then in a video pre-viewing; have the works costed before the offer.
What does a house in Nice cost?
The median stands at €6,000/m² across 305 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 property finder?
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 a house in Nice?
Home Select, a property finder 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. Home Select is paid on success only: nothing is due until you have bought.
