Property type · Cannes
In Cannes, the penthouse is the top floor with a rooftop terrace: on the Croisette facing the bay, in the Carré d’Or, or on the heights of La Californie, with the Lérins Islands and the Estérel on the horizon. These properties almost always sell among insiders; Home Select hunts them and brings you over only for the decisive viewings.

The essentials
Home Select, buyer’s agent in Cannes, searches for penthouses exclusively on the buyer’s behalf. The DVF register does not single out this type of property: it counts it among apartments, whose median stands at €5,800/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (2,429 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 penthouse for sale in Cannes reads on the apartment median of the survey, €5,800/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, as a floor: the DVF register does not single out the top floor, and a penthouse with a terrace over the bay trades case by case, far above it. Value lies in the terrace, the actual view, sea and islands or a mere glimpse, the orientation, the building and its services: pool, caretaker, parking.
Supply is tiny: a few penthouses change hands each year on the Croisette and in La Californie, often without a listing. Who buys: French families and an international clientele, European, American and from the Gulf, who want Cannes all year or for the season. Home Select checks the nature of the terrace, the co-ownership rules, the works voted and what protects the view before you commit.
Alpes-Maritimes
The Croisette, from the Palais des Festivals to the Pointe Croisette; the Carré d’Or, between the rue d’Antibes and the sea; La Californie and Super-Cannes, on the heights, for the panoramic view; the Pointe Croisette and Port Canto; around, Mougins and Le Cannet (€4,200/m²) for quieter terraces.
On the ground
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.
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.
Surveys, co-ownership rules, easements, local building specifics: every document is checked before you commit.
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 Confidential offerFrequently asked questions
The Croisette sells the sea at the foot of the building, the town on foot and the buzz of the great events; La Californie sells the panoramic view over the bay and the islands, calm and often the building’s pool, with the car to go down. Both read far above the apartment median, €5,800/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026.
No. A rooftop terrace may be a common part with exclusive use, governed by the co-ownership, or a private part; the waterproofing, its upkeep and the works are not shared in the same way in the two cases. Home Select reads the co-ownership rules, the minutes of the general meetings and the works voted before you commit.
No public statistic singles out this type of property: the DVF register counts it among apartments, whose median stands at €5,800/m² across 2,429 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 Cannes 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 Cannes, the monitoring starts with two sectors: La Croisette and La Banane, then La Californie and Super Cannes. That is often where the unfindable property is.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Cannes, 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.
