The essentials

On the ground
The house market in Vence, in figures
The house for sale in Vence begins in the medieval town, where stone houses sell rarely, and stretches to the bastides of Le Malvan, the perched villas of the baous and the large properties of the col, olive trees and pre-Alps included. The house median, €5,400/m² over 12 months to end of June 2026, covers properties with nothing in common: view, land and exposure weigh more than the address. Demand comes from families settling in year-round, from Paris and Northern Europe, drawn by a city of art where Matisse designed the chapelle du Rosaire; the village apartment, around €4,200/m², often serves as a first step.
The neighbours set the scale: Saint-Paul-de-Vence (€6,800/m²) carries the artists’ village higher; Tourrettes-sur-Loup (€5,700/m²) and the Loup valley sell the house at a more accessible level. Before the offer, the Vençois house is audited: private drainage and its SPANC inspection, the sloping plots of the baous, retaining walls and rainwater, the state of roofs under the winds of the col, rights of way across the large parcels. The winter of the back country, keener than on the shore, is counted in heating too.
Orders of magnitude calculated on the DVF median for the 12 months to end of June 2026, excluding land, view or condition.
Alpes-Maritimes
Where exactly, in Vence and around?
The medieval town for the stone house, ramparts, cathedral and market on foot; Le Malvan for bastides and Provençal houses between Vence and Saint-Paul; the slopes of the baous for perched villas with the view; the high land of the col de Vence and La Foux for large properties and olive groves; Saint-Lambert and the south for single-storey houses twenty minutes from the beaches.
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.

The full service, for every budget: brief, sourcing, off-market, pre-visits, negotiation and follow-through to the notary signing.
Two purchases. In the village, the stone house lives inside the ramparts, shops and market on foot, rooms on different levels and works to declare; in the hills of Le Malvan or beneath the baous, the bastide sets out its garden, olive trees and calm, with the sea twenty minutes away. The DVF survey over 12 months to end of June 2026 gives €5,400/m² as the median for Vence houses and €4,200/m² for apartments: the gap plays on the land, never on the district.
What to check before buying a house in Vence?
Drainage first: outside the village, tank and spreading fall under the SPANC inspection, and an upgrade is costed before the offer. Then the slope: retaining walls, rainwater, emergency access for the villas of the baous and the col. Last the fabric: roofs, energy, heating; the back-country winter is paid for too. Home Select has these documents checked and sets the price against comparable sales over 12 months to end of June 2026.
What does a house in Vence cost?
The median stands at €5,400/m² across 121 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 Vence with a buyer’s agent?
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Vence 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 Vence?
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 Vence, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the old town, then Le Malvan. That is often where the unfindable property is.
What are your fees for buying a house in Vence?
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Vence, 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.
