Property type · Honfleur
The Norman longère is a long, low half-timbered farmhouse, often thatched, set in a meadow planted with apple trees: around Honfleur, on the plateau of the Côte de Grâce, in the valleys of the Pays d’Auge and as far as the Marais-Vernier. Home Select hunts it before it lists and brings you over only for the decisive viewings.

The essentials
Home Select, buyer’s agent in Honfleur, searches for longères exclusively on the buyer’s behalf. The DVF register does not single out this type of property: it counts it among houses, whose median stands at €2,900/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (66 sales), a benchmark that the address, the floor area, the land and the condition move. Home Select opens access to off-market properties, with fees 100% on success.
On the ground
A longère for sale near Honfleur reads on the house median of the survey, €2,900/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, as a benchmark: the DVF register does not single it out, and its value lies in the land, the condition of the thatch and the timber framing, the outbuildings and the calm. A restored longère with large grounds trades above it; one to take in hand is bought against the roof and the sanitation, two items to have priced before the offer.
Demand comes from Paris, Britain and Belgium, and increasingly all year round since remote work. Thatch needs a specialist roofer and suitable insurance; timber framing, regular upkeep; private sanitation, the inspection of the public service for non-collective sanitation. Home Select checks every document of the file before you commit; have the works priced by craftsmen skilled in old buildings before the offer.

Orders of magnitude calculated on the DVF median for the 12 months to end of June 2026, excluding land, view or condition.

The Confidential offerFrequently asked questions
Thatch insulates well and makes the charm of the house, but it needs a specialist roofer, regular upkeep of the ridge and insurance that accepts this kind of roof. Have its age and condition assessed by a thatcher before the offer. The longère reads on the house median, €2,900/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, its land and condition making the gap.
The longère is a single-storey or nearly single-storey house, long and simple, made for country life; the manor is a house on two floors, older, grander, with its outbuildings. The first is found more often and is easier to renovate; the second is becoming rare and trades first on its land. Home Select hunts both.
No public statistic singles out this type of property: the DVF register counts it among houses, whose median stands at €2,900/m² across 66 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 reading benchmark, not an appraisal: the address, the floor area, the land, the view and the condition make the price of each property, and Home Select documents it sale by sale before any offer.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Honfleur 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.
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 Honfleur, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the old harbour and the quays, then Sainte-Catherine and the pedestrian centre. That is often where the unfindable property is.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Honfleur, 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.
