Property finder in Cassis

Because the local market has its own rules. An almost non-existent stock: permanent monitoring and off-market make up most opportunities. A property finder works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales around The village and the port and La Presqu’île, 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 Cassis stands at €7,500/m² for an apartment and €7,700/m² for a house. The highest-priced sector in our survey: Ceyreste et le pays de Cassis, €5,000/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 €7,500/m² per sqm, on a median surface of 48 sqm (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, millésime avril 2026, ventes 2025). A median home of the bracket changes hands around €360,000; 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, but rarely through listings: these properties circulate between professionals and through direct approach to owners. That is exactly where we hunt.

Yes: La Ciotat, Carnoux, Roquefort-la-Bédoule and the neighbouring coast are part of the perimeter when the project calls for it. Marseille has its own page.

In 2025, 125 sales were recorded in Cassis: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. After +12% since 2021, the past year pauses (-1%): room to negotiate, no reason to worry.

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 Cassis, the monitoring covers The village and the port and La Presqu’île 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 Cassis, 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 Cassis, the monitoring covers The village and the port and La Presqu’île first: that is often where the unfindable property is.

It depends on the use: the village and the port for a life on foot, at the pace of the quays; Le Bestouan for the beach and the children; the heights for calm, views and vines. The Presqu’île remains the patrimonial address, whenever a sale arises there.

A definitive address: the sea-view house at Le Bestouan, the villa of La Presqu’île between the port and the Port-Miou calanque, or the bastide of the heights among appellation vines. Stock is almost non-existent and private estates supply a fair share of sales: permanent watching and the off-market make most opportunities, far more than listings.

Precise rules: a strict charter, rights of way, colour and upkeep constraints imposed by the estate’s association. They must be read before the offer, not after: some rules (fences, pools, facades) redraw the use and the resale value. We audit the estate’s rules and budget exactly as we audit the property itself.

Only with great difficulty: the appellation vineyard and the protected zones tightly constrain new builds and extensions. That is exactly why quality older stock concentrates all demand: what already exists is fought over, what could be built will not be. The sound move is an acquisition on the existing stock, well chosen and well negotiated.

Seasonal letting finds one of France’s best markets here, framed by local rules. Many owners fund the year’s upkeep from a few summer weeks, though the use of the property erodes a little: year-round letting, rarer, serves other projects. The right choice depends on the use you mean to keep: we settle it before the viewing.

Three hours of TGV to Toulon, thirty minutes of road, or Marseille airport: Cassis is covered in one full day. Our work starts earlier: rule out, shortlist, prepare each viewing as the right one. Serious sellers accept video for a first filter, and the decision comes on the second trip.

The old village fabric (Le Mouré, the centre) hides damp and structures to consolidate; estate villas obey their colour and upkeep rules; the vineyard heights ask for terrace and greenery maintenance. The mistral wears southern facades: works are budgeted into the offer, not after the signature.
