Home Select searches, visits and negotiates for you in Puyricard. You only visit the properties shortlisted, and nothing is due before the deed is signed.
Your project
Home Select, a property finder in Puyricard founded in 2011, searches solely on the buyer’s behalf for village houses, villas and bastides in this village in the north of Aix-en-Provence, from Couteron to Pontès. 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.
Puyricard is not a municipality: it is a village and a district of Aix-en-Provence, north of the city, postcode 13540, with its hamlets, including Couteron to the east and Pontès to the west. The village lives all year round, gathered around its church square; around it stretches a countryside of châteaux and bastides, with the IAE business school at Le Clos Guiot and the La Chesneraie collège. Value here rests on the land, water, calm and the distance 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 Puyricard.
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 Puyricard 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 Puyricard.
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 Puyricard, 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 Puyricard 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.

An estate with land is worth its water: declared borehole, basin, connection to an irrigation network if one exists. Ask for the declarations, titles and agricultural easements in the file before the offer, and have the drainage checked if it is not connected to the mains: the SPANC inspects it.
Puyricard falls under the planning rules that apply on Aix-en-Provence’s territory: zoning, building rights, conditions for a pool or an extension. Have the plot’s zoning checked before the offer, and make a precise project a condition precedent of the preliminary contract.
The 1909 earthquake hit Puyricard hard. The risk report, provided by the seller with the surveys, places the property in relation to seismic and other listed risks: read it before the offer, and have a professional examine the structure of an old bastide.
From your brief to the handover of the keys: what Home Select does for you in Puyricard, 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 Puyricard 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 Puyricard.

Page updated on 25 October 2026, reviewed by Jean Mascla, founder of Home Select
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 87 sales were recorded in Puyricard: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
The median for houses has moved 0% since June 2022 and +4% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Sales range from €4,500/m² to €7,000/m²: address and condition make the price.
Puyricard is a market of houses: village houses and villas around the village centre and the hamlets, bastides and estates in the countryside. Apartments exist too, but remain a minority. Buyers are mostly families who want Aix without the city, with the village schools and the La Chesneraie collège on the doorstep, and the cours Mirabeau about ten minutes away.
Value is read in the land as much as in the house: the size and exposure of the plot, water, view, calm, distance to the village centre. An old bastide and a recent villa, a village house and an isolated estate do not compare. And since Puyricard is a district of Aix, the local taxation and the planning rules that apply on Aix’s territory are those that count: they are read before the offer.
Before the offer, everything is checked on documents: water, declared borehole or connection, drainage, agricultural easements, what the planning rules allow you to extend, 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.

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: Puyricard trades 79% above its department median (€3,300/m²), same vintage and same method.

From the village and its church to the hamlets of Couteron and Pontès, Puyricard moves from the village house to the bastides of the countryside.
The village is laid out around the square of the Romanesque church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption, whose altar came from the old château. The market is held there on Friday mornings; two public primary schools, Jean Maurel and Bremond, are in the centre. Village houses and villas: parking, party walls and condition are checked.
East of the village, Couteron is one of the hamlets that grew up around Puyricard after it was resettled in the fifteenth century, in the same parish. It has a church, of the Immaculate Conception, and gives its name, with Puyricard, to the Aix administrative district. Houses and villas with land: access, drainage and overlooking are checked.
West of the village, towards Éguilles, Pontès is the other main hamlet that grew up, like Couteron, within the parish of Puyricard. Houses and properties in a countryside setting: value rests on the land, water and calm; access, drainage and agricultural easements are checked before the offer.
Two hamlets known for their institutions: at La Chesneraie, the Catholic private collège founded in 1956; at Le Clos Guiot, the IAE business school of Aix-Marseille Université. For a family, a collège within reach changes daily life; houses and villas are judged on calm, access and real journeys.
Around the village, the countryside keeps its historic houses: the Château de la Calade, completed in the seventeenth century, the Château d’Alphéran, from the eighteenth, the bastides of Ganay or La Présidente. Estates with land, park and outbuildings: water, agricultural easements and the structure of old buildings make the difference.
The market, the neighbourhoods, the addresses
We find the property of your dreams in Puyricard
Puyricard at a glance
The village is lived around the square of the church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption: a market on Friday mornings, with organic growers, schools in the centre and, on the road to Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade, the historic shop of the chocolate maker founded in 1968, which carried the name of Puyricard as far as Paris. Provençal culture remains alive, carried by the association La Belugo de Pue-Ricard: galoubet and tambourin, choir, language classes, theatre.
Around it, the countryside and its historic houses, from the Château d’Alphéran to the Bastide de La Présidente, and the hamlets of Couteron and Pontès. On the road to Aix, the oppidum of Entremont recalls the capital of the Salyes, taken by the Romans in 123 BC. The cours Mirabeau is about ten minutes away: you live in the village and enjoy the city, its concerts and its lyric-art festival every summer.
In Puyricard, an estate is kept and passed on when it brings together what cannot be reproduced: land around a house of character, water, the right exposure, calm, and Aix about ten minutes away. The bastides and châteaux of the Aix countryside form a heritage that no longer grows. What remains is to buy right, property by property: structure of the old building, water, drainage, agricultural easements, all to be checked and costed before the offer.
A village house for short stays, simple to close, with the square and the market on foot; a bastide in the countryside to entertain in summer, with a park and a pool to be looked after. Marseille-Provence airport and the Aix TGV station make the comings and goings easy in every season. Before the offer, count what a large house closed for part of the year costs.
Puyricard lives all year: primary schools in the village, a private collège at La Chesneraie, and central Aix, with its lycées, hospitals and station, about ten minutes away. Families look for the house with a garden around the village centre or in the hamlets, those who work in Aix for the shortest drive into the city. Daily life is by car: test it at rush hour.
From the south, Puyricard is reached by the N296, towards Gap, exit Puyricard, after crossing Aix; from the north, the exit comes about five kilometres after Venelles. Marseille-Provence airport is some thirty kilometres away, about half an hour by road outside rush hour, and the Aix TGV station, on the Arbois plateau, some twenty kilometres. Central Aix is about ten minutes away; bus lines link the village to the city.
The international community in Puyricard. Puyricard benefits from Aix’s international reach: a university city, the Georges-Duby international lycée in Luynes, the IAE at Le Clos Guiot, the airport half an hour away. For a family coming from abroad, the question is not the welcome but the choice: isolated bastide or village house, school journeys, upkeep from afar. Home Select qualifies every lead on documents and on video. France imposes no condition of nationality or residence on a buyer.
When to visit, when to buy? In Puyricard, as across the pays d’Aix, the market picks up in spring and after the summer; summer slows viewings, and winter, often bright, shows the village as it lives all year, Friday 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, outside school holidays.
Because the local market has its own rules. Puyricard is not a municipality: planning and local taxation are those of Aix-en-Provence, of which it is a district. 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 Puyricard stands at €5,900/m² for an apartment and €6,000/m² for a house. Across the sectors of the survey, the median ranges from €4,300/m² (Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade) to €5,700/m² (Éguilles). 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 €6,400/m², on a median surface of 152 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 €973,000; condition, floor and address then make the rest of the price.
No. Puyricard is a village and a district of the municipality of Aix-en-Provence, north of the city, with its hamlets, including Couteron and Pontès, and its postcode, 13540. Planning and local taxation are those of Aix: a building permit application is filed with the city of Aix.
Central Aix for life on foot: apartments of character, shops, culture. Puyricard for space: houses and villas with gardens, bastides in the countryside, schools and a market in the village, about ten minutes from the cours Mirabeau. Home Select searches both at once if the brief calls for it.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 87 sales were recorded in Puyricard: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for houses has moved 0% 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 Puyricard 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 Puyricard, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the village, then Couteron. That is often where the unfindable property is.
It all depends on use. A village house is simple to close, with the square and the market on foot; a bastide with a park and pool needs regular upkeep and someone to watch over it in your absence. 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 Puyricard, 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.
They cover the sales in the municipality of Aix-en-Provence within postcode 13540, Puyricard’s postcode: a finer scope than the Aix average, but one that mixes village houses, villas and bastides. For a property of character, comparable sales are chosen one by one; Home Select tests the asking price against those sales before any offer.
Water first, borehole, basin or connection, with its titles; the drainage, mains or individual, in which case it is inspected by the SPANC; agricultural easements and rights of way; what the planning rules allow; the structure, roof and damp of the old building, to have examined; the risk report. Surveys are the seller’s responsibility; have the works costed before the offer.
Yes. Some bastides and houses in the Aix countryside 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. For projects of €2m and above, the Confidential offer presents off-market properties only.
In the village, two public primary schools, Jean Maurel and Bremond; in the hamlet of La Chesneraie, a Catholic private collège founded in 1956. The lycées are in the other districts of Aix, including the Georges-Duby international lycée in Luynes, and the IAE business school has its campus at Le Clos Guiot. Before the offer, have the real school journeys measured at rush hour.
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.
