Your project
Guessed from your location: an underlined word changes with a click.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Évian-les-Bains, has searched for estates and apartments on the buyer’s exclusive behalf since 2011, from the belle époque quays of the centre to the heights of Neuvecelle. Home Select opens access to off-market properties along the French shore of Lake Geneva. Fees 100% on success, with nothing payable upfront.
On the French shore of Lake Geneva, Évian lines up belle époque villas, terraced parks above the lake and a proximity to Geneva that keeps permanent pressure on fine properties. From Thonon to the lakeshore villages, the French Geneva-lake market remains more confidential than its Swiss shore, and is hunted through network.
A buyer’s agent works for the buyer, and for the buyer alone. Here is what Home Select changes, concretely, for your purchase in Évian-les-Bains.
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 Évian-les-Bains 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.
Rhône-Alpes - Évian-les-Bains - A pedestrian street
A buyer-side search mandate, a written method, fees due on success. Here is what you entrust to Home Select in Évian-les-Bains.
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 Évian-les-Bains, 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 Évian-les-Bains 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.

Before any offer on a Belle Époque villa, have the roof costed and the park’s status checked: protected trees, classified woodland, view and access servitudes. Qualified craftsmen are scarce and estimates slow to obtain.
Value rests on the view and the slope. Consult the local planning rules to check whether the downhill parcels can be built on, and commission a geotechnical survey on steep ground before committing yourself.
Waterside and village properties trade quickly and without advertising. Structure your financing well upstream, including for income earned in Swiss francs, so that you can position yourself firmly from the very first visit.
From your brief to the handover of the keys: what Home Select does for you in Évian-les-Bains, 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 Évian-les-Bains 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.

Rhône-Alpes - Évian-les-Bains - The port at sunset
Page updated on 20 October 2026, reviewed by Jean Mascla, founder of Home Select
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 241 sales were recorded in Évian-les-Bains: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
After +18% since June 2022, the past year pauses (-2%): room to negotiate, no reason to worry.
Sales range from €2,600/m² to €6,300/m²: address and condition make the price.
The French shore of Lake Geneva lives under a double regime: the resort gentleness of Évian and Thonon, and the pull of Geneva, forty-five minutes away, which installs a solvent, permanent cross-border demand. Fine properties grow scarce and waterside homes are counted in units.
The French Geneva-lake market remains more confidential than its Swiss shore: Belle Époque villas with terraced parks, the properties of the villages from Yvoire to Meillerie, first circulate through the network. Value depends on the lake view, the slope of the land and the servitudes protecting both.
The technical audit is decisive on this old building stock: Belle Époque villa roofs, parks subject to rules, stability of sloping grounds. A market of expertise and patience, rewarded by a quality of life the Swiss shore no longer offers.
| 12 months to end of June | Median | Sales counted (apartments) |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | €4,000/m² | 212 |
| 2023 | €4,200/m² | 240 |
| 2024 | €4,500/m² | 159 |
| 2025 | €4,800/m² | 197 |
| 2026 | €4,700/m² | 214 |
Median for apartments 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: Évian-les-Bains trades 7% above its department median (€4,400/m²), same vintage and same method.

Rhône-Alpes - Évian-les-Bains - The marina facing the Chablais
Facing the Lavaux, the French shore reads as a succession of balconies: lively quays, discreet hillsides, villages that open only to the faithful.
The heart of Évian between the Cachat spring, the casino and the quays: renovated Belle Époque buildings, apartments with lake views, the pier and its shuttles to Lausanne. The most liquid market of the shore, demanding on the condition of co-ownership blocks.
The heights above Évian: Neuvecelle and its park villas, Maxilly and its slopes, plunging views over the lake and the Lavaux vines opposite. A quiet residential market, highly sought by cross-border workers and families.
The continuation of the shore between Évian and Thonon: Amphion-les-Bains and its beaches, Publier and its residential quarters, properties close to the water more accessible than central Évian. A family, discreet market, where monitoring makes the difference.
The great neighbour of the shore: an active sub-prefecture, marina, spas, and a broader property market, from the old centre to the high quarters with lake views. The rear base of many projects aimed first at Évian.
The wild shore between Évian and Saint-Gingolph: Yvoire the classified medieval village, Meillerie and its former quarries, hamlets where waterside homes are extremely rare and precious. A connoisseurs’ market, almost entirely by private agreement.
The market, the neighbourhoods, the addresses
We find the property of your dreams in Évian-les-Bains
Évian-les-Bains at a glance
Here, water sets the tempo. You fill a bottle at the Art Nouveau buvette of the Cachat spring, ride the Belle Époque funicular up towards Neuvecelle, cross an exhibition at the Palais Lumière before a concert at La Grange au Lac, a wooden hall set among the trees. At the market, on Tuesday and Friday mornings, féra and Arctic char arrive from the lake fisheries; Abondance cheeses come down from the neighbouring Chablais.
The seasons redraw the shore. Summer is lived on the water: sailing, swimming off the Amphion beaches, the crossing to Lausanne from the pier. Autumn brings mists and low light on the Lavaux opposite; in winter you ski nearby at Thollon-les-Mémises or Bernex, below the Dent d’Oche. From spring onwards, the Evian Resort golf course overlooks the lake. And Geneva stays forty-five minutes away, for an airport, an opera house or an office.
The French Lake Geneva market is driven by Geneva: the French shore puts it within reach without its cost of living, which makes it a year-round home, very different from the rest of the Alps. Évian is hunted through networks, Belle Époque villas and terraced grounds above the lake; Thonon and Publier offer more accessible balances than Évian itself. The local technical issue is the condition of the Belle Époque villas: roofs, joinery, heating, three items to cost before the offer.
Belle Époque villas, terraced grounds above the lake, flats with a view: Évian is a second-home market more discreet than the Swiss shore, hunted through networks. To investigate: the slope of the plot, winter access, upkeep of the grounds and the planning rules governing extensions above the lake.
Living on the French shore of Lake Geneva means having Geneva within reach without paying its cost of living: schools, hospitals and shops are in Thonon and Évian, and the border shapes employment. The daily commute is the real subject: Home Select tests it with you at real hours before any decision on a district.
Évian runs on Geneva time: the airport, about 45 minutes away by road, serves more than 100 destinations worldwide. The lake is the other way in, and the more elegant one: CGN boats reach Lausanne in about thirty minutes, connecting to the Swiss rail network. Évian station is the terminus of the Chablais line; from Paris, the connection is made at Geneva or Bellegarde. The Chablais and Valais resorts are less than an hour away.
The international community in Évian-les-Bains. The French shore of Lake Geneva lives on a singular balance: solvent cross-border demand tied to Geneva and Lausanne, and an international clientele attached to the Belle Époque villas along the water. Services operate in French, but English is common along the shore. Scarcity is the real constraint: waterfront properties can be counted in single figures and sell privately, often before any publicity.
When to visit, when to buy? The market breathes in two phases: spring, April to June, when the lake becomes workable again and supply frees up, and autumn, September to November. Summer concentrates spa and boating tourism, winter the closeness of the ski resorts. For a remote buyer, the mid-season is what reveals a property’s true orientation, its view and the sunlight on that stretch of shore, three variables that separate two neighbouring houses.

Because the local market has its own rules. The Geneva factor: a solvent cross-border demand absorbing the quality supply. A buyer’s agent 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 Évian-les-Bains stands at €4,700/m² for an apartment and €5,300/m² for a house. The highest-priced sector in the survey: Vallée d’Abondance (Châtel, Abondance), €5,200/m² median. 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, 3 rooms traded at a median of €4,700/m², on a median surface of 64 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 €301,000; condition, floor and address then make the rest of the price.
Yes: Évian, Thonon-les-Bains and the lakeshore villages from Yvoire to Saint-Gingolph. Many cross-border projects arbitrate between several communes, which Home Select hunts in parallel.
It is even its engine: less than an hour from Geneva, the French shore offers a setting and values the Swiss shore no longer has. Home Select regularly guides cross-border and international buyers.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 241 sales were recorded in Évian-les-Bains: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. After +18% since June 2022, the past year pauses (-2%): room to negotiate, no reason to worry.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Évian-les-Bains 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 Évian-les-Bains, the monitoring starts with two sectors: the centre and the quays, then Neuvecelle and Maxilly. That is often where the unfindable property is.
A Belle Époque apartment between the quays and the Cachat spring locks up and reopens without upkeep: ideal for short stays, steps from the pier and the market. For family summers, the heights of Neuvecelle offer villas, parks and plunging views. The villages, from Yvoire to Meillerie, answer a rarer project, patiently hunted.
Évian’s centre and quays line up Belle Époque apartments facing the lake; Neuvecelle and Maxilly, the residential heights with plunging views; Amphion and Publier extend the shore; Thonon offers a wider market and year-round life. Waterside properties on the French Léman are counted in single units and sell privately, from Yvoire to Meillerie.
A dedicated audit: complex roofs, tree-filled parks under rules, view and access easements that carve up the real enjoyment of the property. The Geneva factor counts too: quality supply is absorbed by solvent cross-border demand, and villas that come out find a buyer fast. Preparing the file, financing and calendar included, makes the difference.
For Geneva cross-border workers, executives of international organisations, Swiss or binational families settled year-round on the heights, joined by Lyon and Paris buyers drawn by the lake’s light and the direct train to Paris.
The direct Paris-Évian train puts the shore within a day’s reach, and Geneva stays fifty minutes away: the French Léman is efficiently viewed from either gate. Waterside properties selling privately, the list is built by watching before the trip. Video filters, the ground confirms, the offer follows.
These villas carry a hundred years of complex roofs, parks and easements: renovation goes room by room, under woodland-classification rules for some. The original heating and insulation have lived: the upgrade is costed before the offer. Home Select’s audit gives them the time it takes: it is what protects the price.
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 Évian-les-Bains, 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 (140 reviews), fees displayed, 100% on success.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Évian-les-Bains, 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 Évian-les-Bains. Many projects play out over two or three towns, and the brief allows for it from the first conversation.
