Rhône-Alpes - Lyon - A café terrace on the quays
The area · Rhône-Alpes
Between the heritage metropolis of Lyon, the shores of Lake Annecy and those of Lake Geneva, this sector concentrates prestige markets with very different logics: Lyon’s golden stone, waterside homes, the Swiss border. One thing in common: rare properties sell off-list first, and technical arbitration decides the value.
Your project
The essentials
Home Select is a buyer’s agent in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, founded in 2011, covering Lyon, Annecy and Évian-les-Bains, as well as Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains and Divonne-les-Bains, exclusively on behalf of the buyer, from Old Lyon apartments to lakeside villas. Home Select opens access to off-market properties and secures the purchase end to end. Fees are 100% on success: nothing is due before completion.

Market benchmarks
Published medians in Rhône-Alpes range from €3,000/m² (Chambéry) to €5,800/m² (Divonne-les-Bains): the gap between two cities of the same area is worth every bit of the brief.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 11,116 sales were recorded in Rhône-Alpes according to the Home Select survey: this is hunted city by city, address by address.

Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Rhône-Alpes since 2011, works exclusively for the buyer: watching listed and off-market properties, screening at the visit, negotiating on real prices. The rarest homes in Rhône-Alpes often sell without ever being advertised: that is where the hunt decides. Fees 100% on success.
Tailor-made
The hunt does not stop at the pages of this site. Home Select also covers, tailor-made and with the same method:

On the ground
The Home Select set-up
Home Select has guided more than 1,200 buyers since 2011, and its leadership runs your search. On the ground, Home Select activates its network of 15,000 professional partners, who surface properties before they reach the open market. Properties are first seen on a video pre-viewing: you only travel for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip.
Home Select is building its national network city by city, and says so plainly: from day one you get the method, the network and the negotiation; a dedicated local finder takes over your file as each territory opens.
Both are billed only if the property is found and the purchase completed. On top comes 10% of the negotiated reduction: Home Select is also paid on what you save.
Exclusive search mandate
2.5% of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl. VAT + 10% of the negotiated reduction
The full service, for every budget: brief, sourcing, off-market, pre-visits, negotiation and follow-through to the notary signing.
The Exclusive offer
Simple search mandate
1.5% of the net purchase price, projects from €2M + 10% of the negotiated reduction
The very same full service, on a selection made exclusively of off-market properties. For buyers who never want to see their search on a portal.
The Confidential offerFrequently asked questions
Yes, and often in parallel: they are two distinct markets that many projects compare. Annecy, Veyrier-du-Lac, Évian-les-Bains, Aix-les-Bains, Divonne-les-Bains and Chambéry each have their dedicated page.
These resorts and their valleys form Home Select’s Alps sector, with its own hub and one page per town. Lyon, Annecy and Évian remain the natural gateways to the region.
Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026), the market in Rhône-Alpes ranges from €3,000/m² (Chambéry) to €5,800/m² (Divonne-les-Bains) in medians. These 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, 11,116 sales were recorded in Rhône-Alpes across the cities surveyed by Home Select, led by Lyon (7,260 sales) and Annecy (1,705 sales). A living market, where reading the micro-markets finely decides everything.
7 cities have their dedicated page in Rhône-Alpes: Lyon, Annecy, Veyrier-du-Lac, Évian-les-Bains, Aix-les-Bains, Divonne-les-Bains and Chambéry. Beyond them, The Pays de Gex (Gex, Ferney-Voltaire), Grenoble and the Grésivaudan, as well as The Beaujolais and its golden stone and their neighbours are hunted tailor-made, with the same method and the same success-only fees.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Rhône-Alpes, 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.
