Property finder in Nice

Because the local market has its own rules. An international clientele: sellers and buyers alike come from all over the world, and so do the codes. A property finder works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales around Cimiez and Mont Boron, 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 Nice stands at €4,800/m² for an apartment and €5,700/m² for a house. The highest-priced sector in our survey: Villefranche-sur-Mer, Beaulieu, Èze, €8,500/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 €4,800/m² per sqm, on a median surface of 47 sqm (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, millésime avril 2026, ventes 2025). A median home of the bracket changes hands around €226,000; 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: Villefranche-sur-Mer, Beaulieu, Èze and the eastern coast are part of the perimeter. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cannes and Antibes have their own page.

In 2025, 7,826 sales were recorded in Nice: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for apartments is up +14% since 2021, +2% in the last year alone: the trend holds, and sellers know it.

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 Nice, the monitoring covers Cimiez and Mont Boron 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 Nice, 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 Nice, the monitoring covers Cimiez and Mont Boron first: that is often where the unfindable property is.

For a pied-à-terre served by the airport, the Carré d’Or and the promenade des Anglais remain the practical choice: noble floors, terraces, well-kept buildings, everything on foot. The port and old Nice suit those who want the city alive; Mont Boron, those after silence and the view, at the gates of the centre.

Two markets in one. The seafront (Carré d’Or, promenade des Anglais) carries the prestige buildings and the noble floors; Cimiez lines up the large apartments of the former hotels; Mont Boron, Gairaut and the hills offer villas and properties in calm, overlooking the baie des Anges. The rules of value differ from one world to the other: the hunt begins by choosing yours.

The co-ownership first: the Riviera supply hides old buildings with widely varying charges, voted works included, to be audited before the view. The view next, to be secured in the local plan: what is visible today can be built tomorrow. Without these checks, the finest address can lose within months what made its price.

It is an international market: sellers and buyers come from all over the world, and so do the codes. A solid file, financing and representative in place, makes the difference on rare properties, and the whole chain, from the first search to signing at the notary’s, runs remotely. We guide international buyers in their own language, from the first call to the keys.

Nice carries one of the coast’s deepest rental markets: year-round as seasonal, international as local. A bright apartment of the Carré d’Or or the heights lets fast, at levels that support the investment. Co-ownership rules govern short lets, Nice regulates them: those rules are part of our screening.

The airport is ten minutes from the centre: Nice is the easiest town on the coast to reach from anywhere in the world. We group viewings over two or three days, video in support, and the offer can be presented remotely, mandate in place. Many of our international clients come only for the signature.

The palaces and old buildings hide varying charges and voted works to be read in the minutes. The state of the fabric, from roof to exposed facades, changes the value of one and the same floor. Our co-ownership and building audit comes before the apartment viewing: that order protects the buyer.

To hunt in Nice, 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.
