Home Select searches, visits and negotiates for you in La Bouilladisse. You only visit the properties shortlisted, and nothing is due before the deed is signed.
Your project
Home Select, a property finder in La Bouilladisse since 2011, searches for village houses, hamlet houses and villas exclusively on behalf of the buyer, from the centre and La Bourine to the hamlets of Les Boyers and Le Pigeonnier. 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.
North of Aubagne, served by the A52 motorway, La Bouilladisse is a municipality of more than six thousand residents, born in 1880 from hamlets detached from Auriol under the name La Bourine. Its centre lives around the Place de la Mairie and the Thursday market; further out lie nine hamlets, including Les Boyers and Le Pigeonnier, and two eighteenth-century châteaux. Value here turns on the setting, the land, the calm and the journey into the metropolitan area.
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 La Bouilladisse.
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 La Bouilladisse 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 La Bouilladisse.
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 La Bouilladisse, 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 La Bouilladisse 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.

At Le Pigeonnier, the intermunicipal local plan frames the quarter’s future through development guidelines. Before buying, here as elsewhere in the municipality, read what is planned around the property: buildings, roads, facilities. What is built tomorrow weighs on the view and the calm.
In the old hamlets, Les Boyers, Le Pigeonnier or Tournon, a characterful house can bring tight party walls, damp masonry or a roof to redo. Have the works costed before the offer, and check the connection to the mains drainage or the SPANC inspection.
The A52 puts Marseille, Aubagne and Aix within reach, but morning and evening journeys feel different from the map. Before the offer, have the real journey to work and school tested, and have the street, the neighbours and the parking filmed during the video pre-viewing.
From your brief to the handover of the keys: what Home Select does for you in La Bouilladisse, 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 La Bouilladisse 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 La Bouilladisse.

Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 61 sales were recorded in La Bouilladisse: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
After +1% since June 2022, the past year pauses (-4%): room to negotiate, no reason to worry.
From Aubagne to Auriol, the median gap reaches +74 %: the neighbourhood prices the property as much as its floor area.
La Bouilladisse is a municipality that lives all year round, part of the Marseille and Aix-en-Provence conurbation: houses clearly dominate sales, from the village house in the centre to the old house in a hamlet and the villa with a garden in the residential quarters. Demand comes mostly from the metropolitan area: families who work in Marseille, Aubagne or Aix and want space without moving away from the motorway.
Value turns on what a listing leaves out: the setting of an old hamlet rather than a busy street, the exposure and calm of the garden, closeness to the A52 without its noise, the real condition of buildings that are often old in the hamlets. Near the Merlançon and the streams, the risk statement attached to the preliminary contract deserves a close reading; around Le Pigeonnier, the development guidelines show what will be built.
Home Select runs the search remotely, from its management and with its network of partners: every property is qualified on documents and in a video pre-viewing run with the seller’s agent, its price tested against comparable DVF sales in the municipality and its neighbours, and the buyer travels only for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip.
| 12 months to end of June | Median | Sales counted (houses) |

| 2022 | €4,400/m² | 56 |

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.
The city and its department: La Bouilladisse trades 10% above its department median (€4,100/m²), same vintage and same method.

From the centre and its market to the hamlets of Les Boyers and Le Pigeonnier, the municipality moves from village houses to hamlet homes.
The centre lives around the Place de la Mairie, its Thursday morning market and the church of Saint-Laurent, built in 1911; La Bourine keeps its chapel of 1782 and the municipality’s first name. Village houses and town houses, with shops and services close by: the most practical area day to day, where plots are tighter.
About two kilometres from the centre, the hamlet of Le Pigeonnier keeps its oratory and characterful village houses, around which the quarter is growing: a school, a recent wastewater plant, development guidelines in the intermunicipal local plan. What will be built around a property is read before the offer.
The quarter of the Robert-Conti stadium and the Antoine-Albaladéjo car park, named after the leader of the municipality’s Resistance fighters. In August 1944, a German railway gun fired from here towards Toulon, before six miners blew up the Playes bridge. Before the offer, nearby facilities and parking are judged in a video pre-viewing.
The hamlet of Tournon and the Malvésine area, served by the avenue of the same name, are linked to the municipality’s two eighteenth-century châteaux, Velin-Tournon and la Malvésine. An old residence here is bought on file: rights of way, any protections, structure, roof and drainage are checked on documents.
About three kilometres from the centre, Les Boyers is the most noted of the municipality’s nine hamlets, often cited among the most typical Provençal hamlets in the area. In this old setting, party walls, masonry, damp and drainage are checked on documents before the offer, and the journey to the centre and the A52 is tested.
The market, the neighbourhoods, the addresses
We find the property of your dreams in La Bouilladisse
La Bouilladisse at a glance
The centre lives around the Place de la Mairie, where the market sets up every Thursday morning, from 8 am to 12.30 pm. The church of Saint-Laurent dates from 1911, the chapel of La Bourine from 1782: it recalls that the municipality, born on 6 July 1880 from several hamlets detached from Auriol, was first called La Bourine, before taking its present name, which evokes a bubbling spring, La Bouiadisso in Provençal.
Around it lie nine hamlets, including Les Boyers, Le Pigeonnier and its oratory, Tournon and Les Gorguettes, two eighteenth-century châteaux and the caves of Le Tonneau, Janet, La Rate-Penade and L’Escargot. The Merlançon crosses the municipality. Its history is one of miners and resistance: in August 1944, six miners from the local Resistance group blew up the Playes bridge to silence a German gun that was firing on Toulon.
In La Bouilladisse, a house is kept and passed on when it brings together what cannot be reproduced: the setting of an old hamlet, a well-exposed garden, quick access to the metropolitan area. The old hamlets, from Les Boyers to Le Pigeonnier, are not multiplying. What remains is to check it property by property: the condition of old buildings, drainage, what the intermunicipal local plan provides for around it, and a price tested against comparable DVF sales.
The centre for a house that is simple to close, with the Thursday market on foot; the hamlets, Les Boyers or Le Pigeonnier, for a house with a garden, in the calm. Marseille Provence airport, thirty to forty minutes away, makes short stays possible in every season. Before the offer, count the upkeep of a house closed for part of the year: garden, brush clearance, surveillance.
La Bouilladisse lives all year: Thursday market, schools, shops, and the A52 a few minutes away, putting Aubagne fifteen to twenty minutes away and Marseille about half an hour. Families look for a house with a garden in a hamlet or near the centre, working people for closeness to the motorway. The real criterion here is the daily journey to school and work, to be tested at rush hour.
Marseille Provence airport lies some fifty kilometres away, thirty to forty minutes by road. Marseille’s Saint-Charles station is thirty-five to forty minutes away, and the Aix-en-Provence TGV station some forty kilometres: Paris is about three hours away by TGV. The municipality is served by the A52 and the D96 departmental road; Aubagne station is fifteen to twenty minutes away. Once there, a car remains useful to reach the hamlets.
The international community in La Bouilladisse. For a buyer from abroad, La Bouilladisse offers inland Provence, half an hour from Marseille and within reach of Aix-en-Provence. The difficulty is not the welcome but managing from afar: a house in the centre closes simply, a hamlet house with a garden calls for upkeep and follow-up. France imposes no condition of nationality or residence on a buyer; Home Select qualifies every lead on documents and in a video pre-viewing.
When to visit, when to buy? The market picks up in spring, from March to June, then after the summer, in September and October. In summer, heat and fire risk in the hills weigh on viewings; winter shows the municipality as it lives, Thursday market included. 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. Nine hamlets around the centre, including Les Boyers, Le Pigeonnier and Tournon: their old-world charm is checked on documents. 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 La Bouilladisse stands at €4,500/m² for a house. The highest-priced sector in the survey: Auriol, €4,700/m² median. These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
The centre for life on foot: the Thursday market, shops and services, on tighter plots. The hamlets, Les Boyers, Le Pigeonnier or Tournon, for the old setting and space, a few kilometres away. The right choice follows how you live: daily life on foot, or the garden and the hamlet.
By the A52, a few minutes from the centre: Marseille is about half an hour away by road, Aubagne and its station fifteen to twenty minutes, Aix-en-Provence and its TGV station some forty kilometres, Marseille Provence airport thirty to forty minutes. Journeys are tested at rush hour before the offer.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 61 sales were recorded in La Bouilladisse: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. After +1% since June 2022, the past year pauses (-4%): room to negotiate, no reason to worry.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in La Bouilladisse 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 La Bouilladisse, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the centre and La Bourine, then Le Pigeonnier. That is often where the unfindable property is.
It depends on use. For short stays, a house in the centre closes simply and puts the Thursday market and the shops on foot. For summer with the family, a house with a garden in a hamlet, at Les Boyers or Le Pigeonnier, offers space, with a garden to maintain and surveillance to arrange. Marseille Provence airport, thirty to forty minutes away, keeps the journeys simple.
Home Select, a property finder in La Bouilladisse, 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.
Yes: it is a municipality that lives all year, with its Thursday market, shops and schools, part of the Marseille and Aix-en-Provence conurbation. Marseille is about half an hour away by road, Aubagne and its station fifteen to twenty minutes. Families find the house with a garden here, working people the motorway a few minutes away. Out of season, the municipality shows the face you will live with.
The building first: party walls, masonry, roof, damp, utilities. The surveys, energy rating, asbestos, lead, termites depending on the zone, electricity, gas and the risk statement, are paid for by the seller and are read before the offer; near watercourses, the risk statement calls for a careful reading. Then the drainage, mains or inspected by the SPANC, and the rights of way. The works are costed before the offer.
By having it filmed properly: during the video pre-viewing run with the seller’s agent, Home Select has the camera show the street, the neighbours, the parking, the exposure of the garden and the view from the terrace. The intermunicipal local plan then tells what could be built around it, notably at Le Pigeonnier. A house in the calm and a house on a busy road do not hold the same value: the gap shows on screen before it shows in the price.
The market picks up in spring and after the summer. In summer, heat and fire risk in the hills make viewings less comfortable; winter shows the municipality as it lives, Thursday market included. The right method: set the brief in winter, run the video pre-viewings in spring, then come for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip.
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 La Bouilladisse, 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 La Bouilladisse, 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 La Bouilladisse. Many projects play out over two or three towns, and the brief allows for it from the first conversation.
