  • The Three Valleys (Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Les Menuires)
  • Le Grand-Bornand and the Aravis
  • The Mont-Blanc country (Les Houches, Passy)
  • Aix-les-Bains and Lake Bourget

On the ground

What changes in the Alps

  • In resort, value plays on technical criteria: exposure, ski-in access, building rights.
  • Exceptional chalets sell first by private agreement, between families and insiders: monitoring makes the access.
  • Resort co-ownerships, mountain surveys and planning rules: high-altitude buildings demand a dedicated audit.

The Home Select set-up

How does Home Select operate in the Alps?

Home Select has guided more than 1,200 buyers since 2011, and its leadership runs your search. On the ground, Home Select activates its network of 15,000 professional partners, who surface properties before they reach the open market. Properties are first seen on a video pre-viewing: you only travel for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip.

Home Select is building its national network city by city, and says so plainly: from day one you get the method, the network and the negotiation; a dedicated local finder takes over your file as each territory opens.

Frequently asked questions

What Home Select is asked first

Do you cover resorts beyond Megève, Courchevel and Chamonix?

Val d’Isère, Méribel, La Clusaz and Saint-Gervais have their dedicated page; Tignes, La Plagne, Les Menuires and the other Northern Alps resorts are hunted tailor-made, according to your project.

Do you hunt year-round homes, or only second homes?

Both: year-round living grows in the valley villages, while altitude resorts remain the heart of the weekend market. Two hunting logics, run in parallel when the project calls for it.

What are property prices in the Alps in 2026?

Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, April 2026 release, 2025 sales), the market in the Alps ranges from €5,200/m² (Saint-Gervais-les-Bains) to €13,900/m² (Val-d’Isère) in medians. These are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.

Is the property market in the Alps active?

In 2025, 1,334 sales were recorded in the Alps across the cities surveyed by Home Select, led by Chamonix (320 sales) and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains (248 sales). A living market, where reading the micro-markets finely decides everything.
