Bordeaux, Sud-Ouest
Atlantic Coast · Gironde

Bordeaux at a glance
On the ground
In 2025, 4,820 sales were recorded in Bordeaux: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
The median for apartments is down -10% since 2021 and -2% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Sales range from €2,800/m² to €5,700/m²: address and condition make the price.
Bordeaux is a market of stone as much as of city: eighteenth-century blond stone, classified facades, streets with name plates. The whole Port de la Lune is Unesco-listed, which protects the centre and freezes supply: exceptional properties first circulate in a narrow circle of professionals and families.
The house with a garden, from the double échoppe of Caudéran to the properties of Le Bouscat, is the most contested object of the metropolis: well-exposed examples go within days, often without full publicity. On family quarters like Saint-Genès or Nansouty, monitoring beats searching.
Technical expertise carries weight: damp of the clay subsoil, facades to be restored by the rules of the classification, surveys of old buildings. And many projects open onto the vineyard, from Saint-Émilion to the Graves, which we handle case by case when the project calls for it.
| Year | Median | Sales counted |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | €4,600/m² | 4,315 |
| 2022 | €4,600/m² | 4,459 |
| 2023 | €4,500/m² | 3,491 |

Micro-markets
Bordeaux reads facade by facade: each quarter keeps the temperament that trade, stone and old families once gave it.
The triangle between the allées de Tourny, the cours Georges-Clemenceau and the Jardin Public: private mansions, eighteenth-century cut-stone buildings, noble floors with enfilades. The top of the Bordeaux market, where fine addresses often sell by private agreement.
The wine-merchants’ quarter along the Garonne: former trading houses with vaulted cellars, through floors, rare town gardens. A character market, tastefully restored, prized by families and lovers of fine stone.
The residential quarter of the west, around the park of Caudéran and the good schools: renovated double échoppes, mansions, properties with gardens. The most contested object of the metropolis: faultless examples go within days.
The family quarters south of the centre: Bordeaux échoppes, town houses with courtyards, quiet streets a bike ride from the centre. A deep but fast market, where sorting sound échoppes from those to be taken over entirely makes all the value.
The natural continuation of Caudéran, on the other side of the park: family houses, tree-lined residences, the racecourse and its meetings. A discreet market, where the proximity of the centre and the quality of the parks make some of the most held values of the metropolis.
Targeting precisely
Triangle d’Or, Jardin Public and Les Chartrons: a flat in an 18th-century building, steps from the shops and the tram. For regular car-free use, between Bordeaux and elsewhere.
Caudéran, Saint-Genès and Nansouty, Le Bouscat: an echoppe or a house with a garden, quiet, close to schools. The choice of families who settle.
Historic centre and Chartrons: a dressed-stone townhouse, reception volumes and a courtyard. A discreet market, where the state of the fabric drives the whole budget.
Three buying profiles to place your own in Bordeaux. Orientation pointers, which your property finder refines with you at the brief.
Art de vivre
Bordeaux mornings often begin at the Capucins market, among oyster stalls from the basin and ceps in season, before a walk along the quays to the Chartrons market. The city holds to its institutions: the Mollat bookshop, the Grand Théâtre, the Utopia cinema set in a former church, the CAPC in the old Entrepôt Lainé. In the evening, tables divide between the wine bars of Les Chartrons and the bistros of place du Parlement, with the river as horizon.
The Garonne sets the pace: morning runs along the quays, the miroir d’eau on place de la Bourse, Sunday rides across to the right bank and the gardens of Darwin. Weekends are written beyond the walls, among the vines of Saint-Émilion or the Graves, the beaches of the basin, the pines of Cap Ferret. September brings the harvest, spring the primeurs week: the city lives by the wine calendar. Paris stays two hours away by TGV, and many lives run between the two.
Non-resident buyers
Bordeaux is one of the fastest French cities to reach from Paris: the TGV links Saint-Jean station in 2 hours, with direct services to Lille, Brussels and Strasbourg. Bordeaux-Mérignac airport, 20 minutes from the centre, offers more than 80 direct destinations, including London, Brussels, Munich, Rome, Amsterdam, Marrakech and Canada. For North America and the Gulf, one stop via Paris, Amsterdam or Frankfurt is enough.
Bordeaux hosts an active international community, carried by its universities, its wine houses and a way of life that keeps people. Schools, services and the administration are used to foreign files. The difficulty lies elsewhere: the listed centre sets its own rules, and the value of an 18th-century building turns on the state of its floors, its stone and its co-ownership. Home Select has those points checked before the offer, not after.
The Bordeaux market is active year round, with a spring peak, March to June, when fine central homes change hands quickly, and a second window in September and October. Summer slows viewings without halting transactions. For a remote buyer, the mid-season is the best period: mild climate, long days and slightly less tight demand. The quieter winter sometimes opens room to negotiate on homes that have sat for several months.

Three projects, three markets
The same market does not read the same way depending on what you have come for. Here is what each of the three projects means on the ground.
Bordeaux brings together a large student population, a solid employment base and two hours from Paris by TGV: year-round rental demand runs deep. The local issue is the fabric. Échoppes, honey-coloured stone and older buildings call for a serious survey: damp, roof timbers, facade works. We have them costed before the offer, because that is where the true price is decided.
A flat in the Triangle d’Or or a merchant’s house in Les Chartrons: Bordeaux is an urban second home, two hours from Paris. The criterion that changes everything is outdoor space, courtyard or garden, and the real light reaching lower floors in narrow streets. We always view at two different times of day.
Bordeaux is easy to settle into: schools, a university, a teaching hospital, an airport and TGV. Families aim for Caudéran, Saint-Genès and Le Bouscat for the échoppe with a garden, Les Chartrons and the Jardin Public for life on foot. Arcachon bay is under an hour away, which explains a good share of the city’s residential trade-offs.
Off-market
A share of the finest sales in Bordeaux completes without ever being listed. The Home Select network of 15,000 professional partners surfaces more than 100 properties every day before publication, and Home Select also approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.

Advice from Home Select
Built on clay soil, often without a crawl space, échoppes call for a survey of walls and floors against rising damp, and a reading of local planning rules if you intend to raise the roof or extend towards the garden.
Within the Port de la Lune perimeter, facades, joinery and roofs are restored under the supervision of the state heritage architect. Ask for past permits and facade works, and cost a compliant restoration before you make an offer.
The finest addresses trade by private agreement: financing validated, notary appointed and criteria settled in advance allow you to commit from the first viewing, for a property that will never appear in an advertisement.

Frequently asked questions
Because the local market has its own rules. The expertise of stone: listed facades, damp, renovations to audit seriously. A property finder works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales around Triangle d’Or and Jardin Public and Les Chartrons, 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, millésime avril 2026, ventes 2025), the median price in Bordeaux stands at €4,100/m² for an apartment and €4,800/m² for a house. The highest-priced sector in our survey: Le Bouscat, €3,800/m² median. These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
In 2025, 2 rooms traded at a median of €4,200/m² per sqm, on a median surface of 45 sqm (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, millésime avril 2026, ventes 2025). A median home of the bracket changes hands around €189,000; condition, floor and address then make the rest of the price.
Notaire fees first: around 7 to 8% of the price on an existing home, 2 to 3% on a new build, paid on the day of signing. Then the finder’s fee, due on success only, and depending on the property the taxe foncière, service charges and a works budget. Home Select prices the whole picture before the offer: the asking price hides nothing. Our notary fees calculator gives the order of magnitude in one line.
Yes: Le Bouscat, Talence, Mérignac on the city side, and case by case the vineyard, from Saint-Émilion to the Graves, for wine-growing or country estates. Arcachon and Cap Ferret have their own page.
Yes. Brief by video call, remote monitoring and shortlisting, viewings grouped into one visit: that is how half of our Bordeaux clients operate.
In 2025, 4,820 sales were recorded in Bordeaux: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for apartments is down -10% since 2021 and -2% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Our searches complete in 45 days on average, with 3 viewings on the client side instead of 40 and about fifteen hours of your time. In Bordeaux, the monitoring covers Triangle d’Or and Jardin Public and Les Chartrons from day one, and the calendar, framed at the brief, is held.
Yes, it is Home Select’s daily routine: 30% of its clients are expatriates or international buyers. Video brief, remote shortlisting and commented pre-visits, viewings grouped into a single trip to Bordeaux, and the team works in French and in English.
Through the network and direct approach: Home Select’s 15,000 professional partners surface more than 100 properties every day before they go on sale, and Home Select also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Bordeaux, the monitoring covers Triangle d’Or and Jardin Public and Les Chartrons first: that is often where the unfindable property is.
They serve different lives: an eighteenth-century apartment around the Triangle d’Or or Les Chartrons offers volumes, enfilades and the city on foot; an échoppe in Caudéran or Nansouty brings a garden and single-level family living. Settle that choice before the search begins: entertaining and heritage on one side, daily ease on the other.
Cut-stone apartments of the Triangle d’Or and the Jardin Public, the former wine merchants’ houses and their floors in Les Chartrons, the double échoppes and town houses with gardens of Caudéran, Saint-Genès and Nansouty, and the residential continuity of Le Bouscat. Use decides: entertaining in an apartment, living outside in an échoppe, and in every case the old fabric gets audited.
The stone: listed facades, damp, renovations to be audited seriously, for old Bordeaux buildings hold technical surprises. The échoppe is probed before the offer: structure, extension, plot rules. And speed: échoppes and houses with gardens go within days, and a share of the prestige market trades privately within the Bordeaux circle. The ready file makes the offer.
Families of the city, handing down échoppes and private mansions; Paris executives and entrepreneurs settled since the high-speed line; wine professionals, who animate the fine-address market. Many searches are run from Paris or abroad during the transition, then close on site: the whole chain is managed remotely with a hunter.
Yes: students, professionals and families carry a deep rental market, and the quarters that sell well let well. Garden échoppes find their families fast, Chartrons floors their demanding tenants. Short lets are regulated, and old-building rules often limit them: we read those lines before the offer.
Two hours by TGV: Bordeaux is viewed in a day from Paris, on foot from the Triangle d’Or to Les Chartrons, by tram towards Caudéran. We group viewings by quarter, video clears the way, and the offer can follow the same day. Many clients run the search from Paris and come only for the decisive viewings.
Bordeaux cut stone asks for the classic audit: damp, listed facades, past renovations. The échoppe sometimes hides extensions built without permit, to regularise. The charges of old buildings are read in the minutes. Every item is costed before the offer: the discipline of the house.
To hunt in Bordeaux, 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 (130+ reviews), fees displayed, 100% on success.
Home Select 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. Home Select is paid on success only: nothing is due until you have bought.
