Home Select searches, visits and negotiates for you in Courchevel. You only visit the properties shortlisted, and nothing is due before the deed is signed.
Your project
Home Select is a buyer’s agent in Courchevel, searching since 2011 on the buyer’s exclusive behalf for chalets and apartments, from the Jardin Alpin to the village of Le Praz. Home Select opens access to off-market properties, where the resort’s most discreet sales are negotiated, and charges fees 100% on success.
Courchevel 1850 is the top of the French Alpine market: the Jardin Alpin, ski-in ski-out chalets, a worldwide clientele and values unlike any other resort. Below, Le Praz, Courchevel Village and Moriond offer character alternatives within the same Trois Vallées ski area.
A buyer’s agent works for the buyer, and for the buyer alone. Here is what Home Select changes, concretely, for your purchase in Courchevel.
A Home Select finder writes your brief, launches the search within the week and stays with you until the deed is signed. Home Select answers every enquiry within 24 working hours.
Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties a day from its 15,000 partners, agents, notaries and managing agents, before they go on sale. The finest addresses in Courchevel often change hands this way.
Home Select pre-visits every property on commented video and shows only 3 properties on average, instead of 40 when searching alone, grouped into a single trip if you come from afar.
Home Select negotiates 6% on average off the asking price, with the area’s actual sales in hand, and checks every document before you commit. Also paid 10% of the negotiated reduction, Home Select has every reason to bring the price down: you keep 90% of every euro saved. Fees are due on success: nothing before signing.

A buyer-side search mandate, a written method, fees due on success. Here is what you entrust to Home Select in Courchevel.
They search on your behalf and for you alone, from the written brief to the checking of every document up to the final deed: the six steps are detailed below. Home Select works for the buyer, never for the seller.
A main home, a second home, a pied-à-terre or a long-term wealth purchase in Courchevel, whether you are on site or abroad: the search is run remotely, video viewings included, up to the decisive viewing.
Home Select runs two offers, with the same full service: the Exclusive offer, an exclusive mandate, 2.5% of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl. VAT, at every budget; the Confidential offer, a simple mandate reserved for projects of €2m and above, 1.5% of the net purchase price, dedicated to off-market properties. In both cases, 10% of the negotiated reduction is added to the fees, and nothing is due until you have bought.
The calendar depends on the market in Courchevel and on how rare the target property is: Home Select sets it at the first conversation, then holds it, and answers within one working day.

The properties that matter change hands between late spring and autumn, before the lifts open, often without a listing. Be represented early: a ready file (financing, acquisition structure) carries more weight than a hurried offer in February.
The label covers very unequal realities. Test the actual return at the end of the day: any walking, a groomed path or a live run, the snow’s exposure. A few dozen metres on foot change a chalet’s value, and its daily use.
In serviced residences and new programmes, a commercial lease or a rental obligation can restrict your weeks of occupation. Have the rules, the service charges (concierge, pool, shuttles) and the exit conditions analysed before signing.
From your brief to the handover of the keys: what Home Select does for you in Courchevel, and what you gain from it.
Everything starts with a thorough conversation: the use of the property, the real budget, the non-negotiable criteria, the calendar. This written framing becomes the roadmap of the hunt, and avoids the months lost viewing beside the point.
Every property put to you matches your brief: the search hits the mark from the first week.
Home Select covers the whole market: published listings, and above all what is never displayed anywhere. Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.
You see properties before the market does, and sometimes properties that will never be published.
Every lead is verified and analysed for you, on file then on a video viewing: technical sheet, first figures. You only travel for properties that truly match the brief.
Fewer journeys: your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip, on the shortlisted properties only.
The offer is drafted and defended by Home Select, complete file in hand. The negotiation covers the price, but also the conditions, the timelines and the works revealed.
You buy at the right price, every offer defended with the area’s actual sales in hand.
Preliminary contract read line by line, surveys, co-ownership rules, charges, easements: every document is checked before you commit. The points of vigilance specific to each local market are in Home Select’s checklists.
You commit with full knowledge of the facts, with no bad surprise after signing.
Home Select stays by your side through to the signing before the notaire, and after: contractors, formalities, moving. Its work ends when you are settled in, not when the deed is signed.
A timetable framed at the first conversation, then kept: at every stage you know where your purchase stands.
A share of the finest sales in Courchevel completes without ever being listed. Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before publication, and also approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.

Alps - Courchevel - The slopes and the peaks
Page updated on 20 October 2026, reviewed by Jean Mascla, founder of Home Select
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 160 sales were recorded in Courchevel: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
After +13% since June 2022, the past year pauses (-7%): room to negotiate, no reason to worry.
Sales range from €7,600/m² to €20,500/m²: address and condition make the price.
Courchevel 1850 is the top of the French Alpine market: the Jardin Alpin, ski-in ski-out chalets, a global clientele and values with no equivalent in the French mountains. Below, the villages (Le Praz, 1550, Moriond) form distinct markets, more accessible, on the same ski area.
The altitude trade-off is the first job: 1850 for heritage value and skis at the door, Moriond for sun and families, Le Praz for the original village and authenticity. The same budget does not buy the same property from one plateau to the next: a question of use, not of taste.
On the great chalets, the market is global and discreet: the sales that matter are negotiated off-list, file by file, between established advisers. And the technique (new programmes and their charges, right to build, energy renovation) demands a dedicated analysis before any commitment.
| 12 months to end of June | Median | Sales counted (apartments) |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | €10,500/m² | 142 |
| 2023 | €10,200/m² | 135 |
| 2024 | €11,100/m² | 111 |
| 2025 | €12,700/m² | 118 |
| 2026 | €11,800/m² | 127 |
Median for apartments over 12 months to end of June, year by year. A period without enough sales at the threshold is not published: the curve skips it rather than inventing a point.

Alps - Courchevel - The chalets of Courchevel 1850
Here, altitude is not a technical detail: it is a way of living, and each plateau cultivates its own.
The supreme plateau: the Jardin Alpin and its exceptional chalets under the firs, the palace hotels, the ski-home runs. A world-rank market, where large properties never appear in a listing and are handed down between international families.
The slope sectors of 1850, from Les Chenus to Nogentil: ski-in ski-out chalets on the return runs, the quiet addresses a few minutes from the centre. The family heart of the high plateau, highly contested.
The two intermediate plateaus: 1550 the discreet sunny village, Moriond with its families, gentle slopes and Aquamotion. Rising values, carried by the same ski area as 1850 for a more readable budget.
The original village of Courchevel, at the bottom of the valley: country houses, the lake and its ski jump, the direct gondola to 1850. A character market, more accessible, appealing to buyers who want a village rather than a resort.
The other side of the Trois Vallées: Méribel and its Savoyard chalets, La Tania the family one, the same ski area as Courchevel with different values. The natural extension of the hunt when the project calls for it.
The market, the neighbourhoods, the addresses
We find the property of your dreams in Courchevel
Courchevel at a glance
In winter, the day begins at La Croisette, skis on the shoulder, and unfolds towards La Saulire or Les Verdons before drifting down, at dusk, past the shopfronts of the Rue du Rocher. The tables are part of the ritual: Le Chabichou under Stéphane Buron, the desserts of Le Sarkara, lunch on the terrace at Cap Horn beside the altiport. After nightfall, the Jardin Alpin returns to a silence of firs and snow.
When spring comes, the resort breathes differently. Le Praz returns to village life around its lake and the Olympic ski jumps, the paths to Lac de la Rosière and the Dent du Villard open to walkers, and cyclists take on the Col de la Loze. Moriond lines up its terraces in the sun, children head for Aquamotion. You arrive through the Tarentaise valley and Moûtiers, or by the altiport when time is short: the mountain here has a life in every season.
Courchevel is the most prestigious Alpine market in France, and value there depends less on the purchase price than on the level of finish and a ski-in ski-out position. At Le Jardin Alpin and Les Chenus, ten metres of gradient change the use of a property and its value; below, Le Praz and Moriond offer more measured values within the same Trois Vallées domain. A Courchevel chalet is chosen to be kept and passed on.
Le Jardin Alpin and Les Chenus for the ski-in ski-out chalet, Courchevel Village and Le Praz for character at more measured values. The decisive question is access to the snow: ten metres of gradient change the use of a property and its value. Home Select has them checked at the foot of the property, on a video viewing, not on a plan.
Living year-round in Courchevel remains a rare choice: the valley organises itself around Moûtiers and Bozel for schools, shops and services. The season dictates everything, from journeys to opening hours. For a year-round project in the Trois Vallées, Home Select also looks at the lower valley, which lives twelve months.
Courchevel is served by two gateways: Chambéry, about 1 h 30 away, which comes alive mainly in winter with its seasonal flights, and Geneva, about 2 h 20 away, whose far broader network eases year-round connections. A rare asset, the altiport, perched at 2,008 metres with a 537-metre runway, welcomes private aviation and helicopters for direct access to the area. By rail, the Moûtiers TGV station, down in the valley, is about 40 minutes by road, and a direct TGV links Paris in season in about 4 h 30.
The international community in Courchevel. Courchevel welcomes a strong international clientele in winter, often owners of a residence used by season, and the resort is well practised at hosting foreign families with multilingual services. For a non-resident buyer, everything turns on altitude and slope access: between 1300 and 1850, real use, buzz and budget have nothing in common. That is the first call to make, before even the type of property.
When to visit, when to buy? The ski season runs from early December to late April, and the market has two active windows: autumn, September to November, when buyers aim to complete before winter, and spring, April to June, once the season is over. For a remote buyer, the ideal is to view in the heart of winter to judge slope access and crowds, then off-season to gauge the real calm. In summer, the resort lives to the rhythm of hiking and cycling, at a quieter pace.

Because the local market has its own rules. A global, discreet market: the great chalets are negotiated off-list, file by file. A buyer’s agent works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales, strict shortlisting and negotiation. Since 2011, Home Select has run more than 1,200 searches with this method, rated 4.8/5 on Google.
Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026), the median price in Courchevel stands at €11,800/m² for an apartment and €10,500/m² for a house. Across the sectors of the survey, the median ranges from €1,900/m² (Moûtiers et la basse Tarentaise) to €11,400/m² (Méribel: Les Allues). These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 3 rooms traded at a median of €12,200/m², on a median surface of 60 sqm (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026). A median home of the bracket changes hands around €732,000; condition, floor and address then make the rest of the price.
1850 for heritage value and ski-in ski-out, the villages for authenticity and space on the same ski area. Home Select hunts both in parallel and makes the trade-off objective according to your use.
Yes: Méribel, La Tania and the whole Trois Vallées are part of the hunting perimeter when the project calls for it.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 160 sales were recorded in Courchevel: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. After +13% since June 2022, the past year pauses (-7%): room to negotiate, no reason to worry.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Courchevel 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 Courchevel, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Courchevel 1850 and the Jardin Alpin, then Les Chenus and Nogentil. That is often where the unfindable property is.
Both markets coexist. The old offers the historic addresses, from the Jardin Alpin to the houses of Le Praz, with works to anticipate on buildings from the resort’s first decades. The new, concentrated on Moriond and the snow front, brings services and guarantees but requires a close reading of service charges and occupancy constraints. The trade-off rests on use and location, never on the brochure alone.
1850 and the Jardin Alpin form the top of the French alpine market; Les Chenus and Nogentil carry the ski-in chalets on 1850’s slopes; the Village (1550) and Moriond (1650) offer the family altitudes, values in the making; Le Praz keeps the original village and its authenticity. Value logics differ from one altitude to the next: the trade-off is prepared.
The ski-in return, tested in real conditions and not on the plan; the residence leases, whose clauses frame your weeks of occupation; the building rights and station rules, which frame renovation and extension. The large chalets are negotiated off-market, file by file: preparation makes access.
International families faithful to the station for generations, British, Swiss, Belgian or from the Gulf, handing down the Jardin Alpin chalets, and French entrepreneurs installing their own. Méribel and the Three Valleys naturally extend the hunt when the right property keeps them waiting.
Geneva then just over two hours’ drive, Chambéry by train: the resort is reached within a day. The best viewings happen in spring and autumn, the window when owners receive: summer proves the village, winter proves the slopes, but the shoulder season signs. Home Select frames the trip with the useful video calls and nothing else.
Management leases, residence charges and the building right that conditions any extension: these three files weigh more than decoration. Mountain buildings add energy renovation and station rules. Home Select’s audit reads everything before the offer: at this price level, a misread clause costs more than a roof.
Yes, though not as a local branch: outside Île-de-France, Home Select runs every search from its head office, with its network of 15,000 professional partners. Each property is vetted on paper, then toured in a video pre-viewing led with the seller’s agent, and you travel only once, for the decisive viewings. The guide “Buying property in France remotely” spells out how it works.
To hunt in Courchevel, check four points: a search mandate on the buyer’s side only, published fees due on success, a written method, proof that lasts. Home Select answers all four: founded in 2011, 1,200+ buyers guided, 4.8/5 on Google (139 reviews), fees displayed, 100% on success.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Courchevel, 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.
The questions common to every city (purchase costs, remote search, choosing your finder) are gathered on one page.
One point of contact, one method, the same fees: the search does not stop at the limits of Courchevel. Many projects play out over two or three towns, and the brief allows for it from the first conversation.
