Home Select searches, visits and negotiates for you in Éguilles. You only visit the properties shortlisted, and nothing is due before the deed is signed.
Your project
Home Select, a property finder in Éguilles founded in 2011, searches solely on the buyer’s behalf for villas, estates and village houses, from the hilltop village to Les Figons and Surville. Home Select opens access to off-market properties through its network of 15,000 partners, with fees 100% on success: nothing is due before completion.
Some ten kilometres west of Aix-en-Provence, Éguilles is a village perched on a promontory overlooking the surrounding valleys; the château built there in the seventeenth century by the Boyer d’Éguilles family is now the town hall. Around it lie a municipality still largely agricultural, woods, the hamlet of Les Figons and residential quarters where houses and villas dominate. Here, value rests on the view, the land, the calm and the real journey to Aix.
Home Select in figures
A property finder works for the buyer, and for the buyer alone. Here is what Home Select changes, concretely, for your purchase in Éguilles.
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 Éguilles 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 Éguilles.
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 Éguilles, 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 Éguilles 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.

Pool, extension, outbuilding: what a plot in Éguilles allows depends on the local plan and, near the Pierredon oppidum, on the possible approval of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France. Have the zoning and building rights checked before the offer, and make a precise project a condition precedent.
Near the woods and the garrigue, brush clearance is a legal obligation, generally over 50 m around buildings in zones exposed to forest fire, and it falls to the owner. Ask about the real condition of the land and its upkeep, and have the clearing costed before the offer.
A house ten minutes from Aix on the map can take much longer at rush hour. Have the real journey to schools, the lycée and your work measured at the time you will make it, and ask during the video pre-viewing what can be heard of the road from the garden.
From your brief to the handover of the keys: what Home Select does for you in Éguilles, 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 Éguilles 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 Éguilles.

Page updated on 25 October 2026, reviewed by Jean Mascla, founder of Home Select
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 94 sales were recorded in Éguilles: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
The median for houses has moved -2% since June 2022 and -4% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Sales range from €3,000/m² to €5,300/m²: address and condition make the price.
Éguilles is first of all a market of houses: villas with gardens in the residential quarters, properties in the countryside, old houses in the hilltop village. Apartments exist too, but remain a minority. Buyers are mostly families who work in Aix or the pays d’Aix, and buyers from further afield looking for a Provençal village a few minutes from a city that lives all year round.
Value turns on what a listing shows poorly: the view from the heights, exposure to the mistral, the size and slope of the plot, overlooking, road noise, the real distance to schools and to Aix at rush hour. Two neighbouring villas are not worth the same: one looks out over the countryside, the other at the house opposite. In the village, an old house is judged on its condition, its party walls and its parking.
Before the offer, everything is checked on documents: what the local plan allows you to extend, the drainage, brush clearance near the woods, the protected surroundings of the Pierredon oppidum, the risk report. Home Select runs the search remotely, from its management and with its network of partners: video pre-viewings, price tested against comparable sales, and a single trip for the decisive viewings.
| 12 months to end of June | Median | Sales counted (houses) |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | €5,800/m² | 86 |
| 2023 | €6,300/m² | 64 |
| 2024 | €6,900/m² | 57 |
| 2025 | €5,900/m² | 64 |
| 2026 | €5,700/m² | 69 |
Median for houses 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.

From the old village on its promontory to Les Figons, Éguilles moves from old houses to the villas of its residential quarters and countryside.
On its promontory, the old village overlooks the surrounding valleys: lanes, old houses, the church of Saint-Julien and the Boyer d’Éguilles château, built in the seventeenth century and now the town hall. Shops, schools and services are close by. In an old house, the building’s condition, party walls and parking are checked before the offer.
A few kilometres from the village, within the municipality, the hamlet of Les Figons keeps its chapel of Saint-Alexis. Around it, woods crossed by footpaths and views over the plain: people come here for space and calm. Access, drainage if it is individual, and brush clearance near the woods are checked on documents.
In the Haut d’Éguilles, Surville is organised around its school complex, from nursery to primary. Houses and villas with gardens, in a residential countryside: the view, exposure to the mistral and overlooking are judged during the video pre-viewing, and the drive to Aix is tested at rush hour.
In the Bas d’Éguilles, below the old village, Le Cros has its school complex, nursery and primary, less than a kilometre from the centre. Houses and villas with gardens, shops and services within reach: a family quarter, where overlooking, traffic noise and the condition of the houses are checked.
South of the village, the hill of Pierredon, or Pié-Redon, bears an oppidum protected as a historic monument. For a neighbouring house, this matters: around a historic monument, exterior works may require the approval of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France. A pool, an extension or a fence is checked before the offer.
The market, the neighbourhoods, the addresses
We find the property of your dreams in Éguilles
Éguilles at a glance
The village is lived around its promontory: the town hall set in the château of the Boyer d’Éguilles family, built in the seventeenth century on the site of the old feudal castle, the church of Saint-Julien, shaken by the 1909 earthquake, and the panorama over the surrounding valleys. Schools, shops and sports facilities that are plentiful for a village, from the stadium to the sports hall and the skatepark, make for year-round life.
Around it, countryside and woods: the Éguilles forest has its footpaths and its bike park, the hamlet of Les Figons its chapel of Saint-Alexis, and the hill of Pierredon, south of the village, its oppidum. In the late eighteenth century, Éguilles became a major centre of sheep transhumance, with a wool industry. Aix, its lycées and its university are some ten kilometres away.
In Éguilles, a house is kept and passed on when it brings together what cannot be reproduced: an open view, a well-exposed plot, calm, and Aix some ten kilometres away. The local plan says what a plot still allows, and a well-placed house cannot be replaced. What remains is to buy right, property by property: condition of the building, drainage, brush clearance, easements, all to be checked and costed before the offer.
The hilltop village for an old house that is simple to close, with the shops on foot; Surville, Le Cros or Les Figons for the family villa with a garden. Marseille-Provence airport and the Aix TGV station, both under half an hour by road, make short stays possible in every season. Before the offer, count the upkeep of a closed house: garden, pool, brush clearance.
Éguilles lives all year, with its schools, shops and sports facilities; the catchment collège is in Aix, at Jas de Bouffan, and the catchment lycée is the Georges-Duby international lycée in Luynes. Families look for the house with a garden in Surville or Le Cros, those who work in Aix for the shortest drive into the city. Daily life is by car: test it at rush hour.
Marseille-Provence airport lies some thirty kilometres from Éguilles, about half an hour by road outside rush hour, and the Aix-en-Provence TGV station, on the Arbois plateau, about twenty minutes away. The centre of Aix is some ten kilometres off, and coach lines link the village to Aix and its bus station. Once there, a car is indispensable: quarters, hamlet and countryside are spread out.
The international community in Éguilles. For an international family, Éguilles has an asset rare for a village: its catchment lycée is the Georges-Duby international lycée in Luynes, and Aix, a university city, is some ten kilometres away. Half of Home Select’s clients are expatriates or international buyers: for them, the difficulty is not the welcome but the sorting, which Home Select does on documents and on video. France imposes no condition of nationality or residence on a buyer.
When to visit, when to buy? The pays d’Aix market picks up in spring, from March to June, then after the summer, in September and October; summer heat and holidays slow viewings down, and winter, often bright, shows the village as it lives all year. For a remote buyer, the brief is set in winter, the video pre-viewings follow in spring, and the trip for the decisive viewings is timed for May-June or the autumn.
Because the local market has its own rules. A market of houses: villas with gardens and countryside properties, with apartments remaining a minority. A property 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 Éguilles stands at €4,200/m² for an apartment and €5,700/m² for a house. Across the sectors of the survey, the median ranges from €4,300/m² (Saint-Cannat et Lambesc) to €5,000/m² (Ventabren et Coudoux). 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, 5 rooms and more traded at a median of €7,000/m², on a median surface of 124 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 €868,000; condition, floor and address then make the rest of the price.
The hilltop village for life on foot: old houses, shops and services close by, but little land and parking to check. Surville, Le Cros or Les Figons for space: houses and villas with gardens, in calm surroundings. The right choice follows how you live: the village square every day, or the garden and the view.
Easily: the centre of Aix is some ten kilometres away, the Aix TGV station about twenty minutes by road and Marseille-Provence airport about half an hour, outside rush hour. Coach lines link the village to Aix; day to day, a car remains necessary.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 94 sales were recorded in Éguilles: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for houses has moved -2% since June 2022 and -4% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Éguilles 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 Éguilles, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the hilltop village, then Les Figons. That is often where the unfindable property is.
It all depends on use. A house in the hilltop village is simple to close and puts the shops on foot; a villa with a garden and pool needs regular upkeep, especially near the woods, where brush clearance is mandatory. Marseille-Provence airport, about half an hour away, and the Aix TGV station, about twenty minutes, make short stays easy in every season.
Home Select, a property finder in Éguilles, runs the search remotely from its management, with its network of 15,000 partners. The brief is set by video call or phone, every property is qualified on documents, then in a video pre-viewing run with the seller’s agent, and the price is tested against comparable DVF sales before the negotiation. You come only for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip; Home Select then secures the purchase and coordinates the notaire.
Aix is the city: old centre, apartments of character, lycées and university, almost everything on foot. Éguilles is the village: houses and villas with gardens, schools on site, more space and calm, some ten kilometres away. Many families hesitate between the two; Home Select can search both at once if the brief calls for it, and compares properties on documents before any trip.
The zoning of the local plan, for a pool or an extension; the drainage, mains or individual, in which case it is inspected by the SPANC; brush clearance near the woods; the risk report, which places the property in relation to seismic and other listed risks; the easements on the title deed. Surveys are the seller’s responsibility; have the works costed before the offer.
Yes. Some houses and properties in the pays d’Aix change hands without a listing, through connections, notaires or agencies. Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties every day through its network of 15,000 partners and monitors 1,700 listing sites: the right property can be presented to you before it is published, or without ever being published.
The pays d’Aix market picks up in spring and after the summer; in summer, the heat and the holidays slow viewings down. For a remote buyer, the right method: set the brief in winter, run the video pre-viewings in spring, then come once for the decisive viewings, on a weekday, to judge the journey and the neighbourhood as well.
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 Éguilles, 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 property finder in Éguilles, 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 Éguilles. Many projects play out over two or three towns, and the brief allows for it from the first conversation.
