Your project
Guessed from your location: an underlined word changes with a click.
Home Select, an apartment finder in Vincennes since 2011, searches solely on the buyer’s behalf from the château and the old centre to the line 1 axis, on to rue de Fontenay and the edges of the wood. Home Select opens access to off-market properties in a family town, ten minutes from Bastille. Fees 100% on success, nothing before completion.
Vincennes begins with a keep: the tallest in France, standing there since the 14th century, watching over a town that never stopped being a royal outpost turned family home. The wood spreads south, line 1 and RER A run west, and the centre’s façades announce Paris. A town in its own right, chic without showing off, ten minutes from the Bastille.
A apartment finder works for the buyer, and for the buyer alone. Here is what Home Select changes, concretely, for your purchase in Vincennes.
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 Vincennes 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 Vincennes.
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 Vincennes, 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.
Home Select completes a search in 45 days on average, with 3 viewings on average instead of more than 40, and gives a first answer within one working day.

In Vincennes a lift is worth a bedroom: in period stock without one, the fifth under the roofs trades accordingly, on resale as on purchase.
Schools set street prices: maps get redrawn, check the exact address before offering, especially on the wood side.
Line A is direct and crowded: try it on a weekday morning from Vincennes, and compare with line 1 before choosing your quarter.
From your brief to the handover of the keys: what Home Select does for you in Vincennes, 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, visited or analysed for you: commented video, technical sheet, first figures. You only travel for properties that truly match the brief.
Home Select arranges only 3 viewings on average, instead of 40+ for a search undertaken alone: your time is spared.
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: Home Select negotiates 6% off the asking price on average.
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.
Home Select takes a search to an accepted offer in 45 days on average: at every stage you know where your purchase stands.
A share of the finest sales in Vincennes 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.
Two offers, the same full service, paid on success only: the Exclusive offer, 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT), at every budget, and the Confidential offer, 1.5%, for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Nothing is due until you have bought in Vincennes.

Thank you Catherine and Home Select for what we call the Extra Mile in the United States: explaining the French system, helping us organise the works... It was great.
A search run from abroad

Basé en province, l’accompagnement pour ma recherche d’un appartement a été à la hauteur de mes attentes : écoute, réactivité, disponibilité et tout cela sans pression. Merci Catherine.. I turned to HOME SELECT because I had tried to find my apartment myself by going round the agencies, which proved impossible.
After eight months alone, one week
Nous avons fait appel à Catherine après plus de 8 mois de recherche infructueuse seuls, et ça a été la meilleure décision que nous aurions pu prendre. En à peine une semaine, elle nous a trouvé l’appartement idéal, et notre offre a été acceptée malgré plusieurs dossiers en concurrence. Catherine a été d’un professionnalisme remarquable, toujours disponible, à l’écoute, réactive et rassurante tout au long du processus d’achat. Nous la recommandons chaleureusement.

Thanks to Véronique and her knowledge of the area, not only were we able to view properties first, but we bought with complete peace of mind. We were supported at every step.

Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 793 sales were recorded in Vincennes: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
The median for apartments has moved -6% since June 2022 and +2% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Houses trade at a median of €10,800/m² against €8,700/m² for apartments: land and gardens pay for their scarcity.
A median of €8,700/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026 across 759 flat sales: Vincennes sells like a piece of Paris that kept its château, its wood and its schools. The Haussmann offer of the centre is scarce and fought over, recent residences fill in, studios near the stations go fast.
The median went from €9,300/m² at end of June 2022 to €8,700/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, a pull-back of about six percent absorbed without panic, even with a slight stir over one year. The volume remains strong, over seven hundred and fifty sales, the mark of a market that circulates between families passing the town on.
The hunt in Vincennes plays on floors and streets: a fifth floor with lift on rue de Fontenay is not worth a second on a courtyard two streets away. The work is to untangle the address from the prestige and the real floor area, and to arrive first on what comes up.

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.

Three acts: the fortress and the centre, the west of the stations, the edges of the wood.
The historic heart around the fortress and the town hall: period façades, shops, the address that sums the town up and sells it first.
The western side around the station and the metro stops: well-kept period blocks, studios for the commutes, the fastest way into Paris.
The southern streets, from rue de Fontenay to the wood’s edges: calm residences, the parc floral on foot, the address of families who stay long.
The market, the neighbourhoods, the addresses
We find the property of your dreams in Vincennes
Vincennes at a glance
Vincennes lives around its château the way others live around a square: the moats at the weekend, the market next door, schools on foot. The Bois de Vincennes spreads its alleys south, from the parc floral to the zoo, and line 1 takes you to the Bastille in a few stops.
The town has the bearing of a commune of officers and teachers, heir to the generations who settled here for the calm and the schools: façades are cleaned, shops renew themselves, habits do not move. It is a town where people come back to buy what they knew as children.
Vincennes is the family market of the East: château and bois at the gate, métro 1 and RER A, Haussmannian flats and townhouses finding their families within weeks. The median is the highest in the Val-de-Marne. Demand, stable, comes from families and from executives dashing to La Défense on the RER A.
Vincennes is a solid second-residence address: the family property near the château, kept between stays, or the first purchase of Parisian families coming down from the 12th. Intermittent use rests on a rare service level: métro 1, RER A and buses. The Bois de Vincennes serves as the weekend garden.
Living in Vincennes is a garden town around its château: reputable schools make the commune’s name, the bois extends daily life, and métro 1 puts Paris ten minutes away. The market and the shopping streets animate the centre. Families stay long: the trade-off is a tight market on large surfaces.
Vincennes lines up two exceptional services: line 1, whose Château de Vincennes terminus puts Bastille ten minutes away, and RER A, which runs to the Gare de Lyon, the Étoile and La Défense without a change. Paris is ten minutes away, Roissy and Orly about half an hour from the centre. The bois de Vincennes extends the town to the north, and the medieval castle and its keep anchor it in eight centuries of history. For a buyer from afar, the promise is rare: a garden town at the end of the oldest line of the metro.
The international community in Vincennes. Vincennes is a reference for international families of eastern Paris: La Défense executives arriving on RER A, teachers and researchers, mixed couples drawn by the reputable schools and the town’s bilingual services. The foreign community, mostly European, is stable and visible around the market and the castle. Children learn to cycle in the lanes of the bois, parents run in the parc floral. Nearly half the residents are owners: people arrive, stay, and Home Select organises the move from renting to buying for families who come three years at a time.
When to visit, when to buy? Eight hundred and fifty-four flat sales a year: a liquid market, paced by the school year. Spring is the true family season, signings concluding before the end of June; the summer sees engaged files through, and the September restart relaunches viewings at once. The castle tours, meanwhile, keep an older calendar. The frankest negotiations happen between November and February, on large flats listed since the autumn.
Because the local market has its own rules. A royal château, a Sainte-Chapelle, a wood: few ring towns have this setting. A apartment finder 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 Vincennes stands at €8,700/m² for an apartment and €10,800/m² for a house. These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
The median stands at €8,700/m² on the flats sold over the 12 months to end of June 2026: a 40 sqm one-bedroom comes to about €350,000, a 60 sqm two-bedroom about €520,000. Haussmann surfaces trade above, studios below.
The 12th sells Paris, its addresses and the Coulée verte, Vincennes sells the château, the wood and a town on a child’s scale: families often choose the town, address lovers Paris. Home Select argues for both, brief in hand.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 793 sales were recorded in Vincennes: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for apartments has moved -6% since June 2022 and +2% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Home Select completes its searches in 45 days on average, from the signed mandate to the accepted offer, with 3 viewings on the client side instead of 40 and about fifteen hours of your time. In Vincennes, the exact calendar depends on how rare the target property is: it is framed at the brief, then held.
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 Vincennes, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the château and the old centre, then the station and the line 1 axis. That is often where the unfindable property is.
Two complete towns on either side of Paris: Boulogne sells the West, the new Trapèze and a median about €300/m² lower, Vincennes sells the East, the château and the wood. The profiles rarely cross, but both markets hold.
Praised from nursery to lycée, they pull part of the prices: class sizes and catchments are checked every year, and Home Select folds them into the family brief.
Tight near the château and the stations, easier towards the wood’s edges: a box or a cellar resells with the flat, and is negotiated from the offer onwards.
Yes, a few files surface in the centre’s buildings: ceiling height, parquet, mouldings, everything new-build lacks. The works are costed before the offer, that is the rule.
To hunt in Vincennes, 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 (140 reviews), fees displayed, 100% on success.
Home Select, a apartment finder in Vincennes, 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 Vincennes. Many projects play out over two or three towns, and the brief allows for it from the first conversation.

A first confidential conversation, with no commitment: how the property will be used, the real budget, the non-negotiable criteria, the timing. The search starts there.
