Provence · Var
Between Bandol and Six-Fours, Sanary has kept what many Var harbours have lost: a Provençal market that lives all year, fishermen on the quay and streets that do not close in October. The old centre and the seafront hold village houses and sea-view apartments; the heights and Portissol, the villas.

The essentials
Home Select is a property finder in Sanary-sur-Mer, founded in 2011, searching for villas and village houses exclusively on behalf of the buyer, from the harbour to Portissol and the residential heights. The firm opens access to off-market properties, common on a seafront that sells before any publicity, with fees 100% on success: nothing is due before the purchase completes.
Sanary-sur-Mer at a glance
On the ground
In 2025, 517 sales were recorded in Sanary-sur-Mer: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
After +18% since 2021, the past year pauses (-3%): room to negotiate, no reason to worry.
Sales range from €4,000/m² to €8,500/m²: address and condition make the price.
Sanary is a family market that holds, carried by a noted microclimate and by a village life the neighbouring resorts no longer have. The old centre and the seafront are the most contested: village houses and sea-view apartments change hands quickly here, often before any publicity.
The residential heights add quiet and panoramas, Portissol direct access to a sheltered beach families prize. Demand mixes second homes and year-round moves, which holds values without the extreme selectivity of a Cassis.

Micro-markets
The harbour, a cove, the heights: three ways of living the same bay, at three price levels.
The quay, the Provençal market and the lanes behind: renovated village houses, apartments overlooking the fishing boats, everything on foot. The heart of the Sanary market, rare in large sizes and never available for long.
The Portissol cove and its surroundings: villas and houses minutes from a sheltered beach, prized by families for its calm water. The most sought-after compromise in town, to be weighed against summer parking.
The coast to the east, from La Gorguette to the small beaches leading to Bandol: villas and residences turned to the sea, walking distance from the sand. Check wind exposure and how well served it really is off-season.
The slope above the harbour and the bay: villas with garden, pool and open views, away from the summer buzz. The choice of space and quiet, the car for everything.
To the west, Six-Fours, the harbour of Le Brusc and the boat to the Embiez: a neighbouring market, often more affordable, explored in parallel when budget or availability calls for it.
Targeting precisely
A village house or a sea-view apartment, in the heart of the Provençal market and the bustle. The most contested segment, rare in large sizes and often sold before any publicity.
A villa or house a short walk from a sheltered beach families prize. The most sought-after compromise in town, to be weighed against summer parking.
A villa with sea views, garden and pool, quiet and away from the summer buzz. The choice of space, with the car for everything and the mistral to check.

Art de vivre
Sanary rests on a ritual: the market, four mornings a week along the harbour, ranked among the liveliest in Provence, and the fishing boats moored in front of the terraces. This is not a seasonal set. In February the market is still held, the shops open, children walk to school: exactly what buyers come here for rather than twenty minutes up the road.
The microclimate does the rest, with close to 2,800 hours of sunshine a year and coves sheltered from the mistral. The town also has a singular memory: in the 1930s, exiled German writers, Thomas Mann among them, made it their home port, something a few discreet plaques still recall.
Non-resident buyers
Sanary rests on two airports: Toulon-Hyères about 30 minutes away for seasonal links, and Marseille Provence about 1 h away, connecting the European capitals, the Gulf hubs and New York with one stop. The Ollioules-Sanary station, on the Marseille-Toulon regional line, serves the regional network; the A50 doubles the coastal link. In high season, traffic and parking near the harbour and the beaches call for planning viewing times ahead.
Sanary has long drawn an international clientele, won over by the climate and by a human scale the neighbouring resorts no longer have, and the town keeps the memory of the 1930s exile of German writers. Local shops and services make a year-round move genuinely workable, which is rare on this coast.
Sanary stands out for a year-round life more marked than in the neighbouring resorts: the market wakes as early as February and stays active through spring, March to June, the ideal window to target a precise property. Summer saturates near the harbour and the beaches; late season, in September and October, opens a quiet, negotiable second window. For a remote buyer: start in winter, view in spring, sign in autumn.

Three projects, three markets
The same market does not read the same way depending on what you have come for. Here is what each of the three projects means on the ground.
Sanary has what an investor looks for on the coast: a town that does not close in October. The Provençal market, the shops and a permanent population support year-round letting, while the season carries furnished lets. As everywhere on the coast, the short-term regime depends on the commune, the building and the tourist accommodation rules, to be checked address by address.
A village house in the old centre, a sea-view flat by the port, or a villa on the heights and at Portissol: Sanary covers all three uses. For seasonal use, the real distance to the port and the beach matters more than floor area. Our concierge service handles opening, upkeep and caretaking between stays.
Sanary is one of the few addresses on the Var coast where you live normally all year: schools, a daily market, shops open in winter. Toulon and its employment area are twenty minutes away, Marseille under an hour. Families aim for the residential heights and Six-Fours for the garden, the old centre to walk. Summer parking is the one real sticking point.
Off-market
A share of the finest sales in Sanary-sur-Mer completes without ever being listed. The Home Select network of 15,000 professional partners surfaces more than 100 properties every day before publication, and Home Select also approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.

Advice from Home Select
The contrast is sharp near the harbour and the beaches: what is alive in winter becomes saturated in August, and the reverse is true of the heights. Two visits in two seasons beat ten photographs.
On the seafront, ask for the minutes of the general meetings and the maintenance record: salt air works on façades, balconies and joinery, and the works already voted are paid after you sign.
The cove is the quarter's first argument and its first problem in summer: saturated parking, a walk down sloping streets. Make the trip for real, on an August Saturday, before paying the proximity premium.

Frequently asked questions
Because the local market has its own rules. Year-round village life sets Sanary apart from the neighbouring resorts: the market is less seasonal, therefore less volatile. A property finder works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales around The harbour and the old centre and Portissol, 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 Sanary-sur-Mer stands at €6,100/m² for an apartment and €5,600/m² for a house. The highest-priced sector in our survey: Six-Fours-les-Plages et Ollioules, €4,900/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 €6,000/m² per sqm, on a median surface of 39 sqm (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, millésime avril 2026, ventes 2025). A median home of the bracket changes hands around €234,000; 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.
Bandol is a resort turned towards boating and the season, Sanary a town that lives all year around its market. The two shores touch and are hunted in parallel; each of our two city pages carries its own figures from the DVF vintage.
Yes: Six-Fours-les-Plages, Le Brusc, the approaches to the Embiez and Ollioules are within the search area. Bandol and Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer have their own pages.
In 2025, 517 sales were recorded in Sanary-sur-Mer: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. After +18% since 2021, the past year pauses (-3%): 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 Sanary-sur-Mer, the monitoring covers The harbour and the old centre and Portissol 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 Sanary-sur-Mer, 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 Sanary-sur-Mer, the monitoring covers The harbour and the old centre and Portissol first: that is often where the unfindable property is.
Yes, and that is what sets it apart on this coast: a market four mornings a week all year, shops, schools and healthcare that do not close in October. The property market follows, less seasonal and therefore less volatile than in the neighbouring resorts.
The old centre and the harbour to live on foot, Portissol for a family that comes first for the beach, La Gorguette for the seaside axis towards Bandol, the heights for quiet, a garden and the view. Six-Fours and Le Brusc, to the west, widen the search when the budget calls for it.
Mistral exposure on the heights, the condition of seafront co-ownerships, summer parking near the harbour and Portissol, and the structural scarcity of village houses, which often sell before any publicity.
Regional second homes, year-round moves for the climate and the services, and an old, loyal international share. That mix holds values: the market does not depend on a single clientele.
To hunt in Sanary-sur-Mer, 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 (130+ reviews), fees displayed, 100% on success.
