Property prices in Nice in 2026

Home Select, a prestige buyer’s agent, reads the real prices of the Nice market from registered sales: medians by type and room count, the measured progression since June 2022, the gap between the seafront and the hills. Nice is two markets in one: the goal is to offer the right price, on the right side of town.

What registered sales say, not listings

Nice is a globalised market: European, American and Middle-Eastern buyers judge fast, pay cash when the property is right, and lean on established advisors. The published data, sale by sale and recorded over the 12 months to end of June 2026, says three things: a clear progression since June 2022, about a seventh on the apartment median; a deep volume for the Riviera; and an immense range, from the cheapest tenth of sales to the priciest tenth.

Nice is two markets in one: the seafront, from the promenade’s palaces to the noble floors of the Carré d’Or, and the hills, from Cimiez to Gairaut, where villas and their views follow another logic. Confusing the two is the first pricing mistake; the citywide median says nothing about the property you target.

What these figures cannot say: no rents, no time-on-market, no building condition. The building techniques of the Riviera demand a trained eye, old co-ownerships with voted charges, coastal servitudes, floors and terraces to check stone by stone.

Price per square metre depends on size and address

The Nice square metre costs more small than large, and the table alongside, computed over the 12 months to end of June 2026, shows for apartments the step down room by room, up to four rooms. But the dominant variable is the address: between a noble floor of the Carré d’Or and an equivalent hillside apartment, the gap counts in thousands of euros per square metre.

One practical consequence: the useful comparison happens at constant size and district, against recent sales of the same building or street. On fine properties discretion is the rule: a share of transactions escapes the portals, and the watch of a finder connected to the area’s professionals makes the difference.

Three markets within one city

The Promenade des Anglais and the Carré d’Or form the seafront: prestige buildings on the front line, Nice palaces, the most international value in town. Cimiez, on its hill, lines up the grand apartments of former palace hotels; Mont Boron, between town and cape, mixes villas and sea-view apartments; Gairaut and the hills offer calm and views over the Baie des Anges.

The port and old Nice finally play the character card: terraces, narrow streets, the old-fashioned art of living, at levels that do not compare with the seafront. Each of these markets has its own price discipline, its charges and its technical traps.

  1. 01 The seafront

    Promenade des Anglais, Carré d’Or: the most international value, palaces and noble floors, first line.

  2. 02 The hills

    Cimiez, Mont Boron, Gairaut: former-palace apartments, sea-view villas and quiet properties, another value logic.

  3. 03 The port and old Nice

    Character, terraces and the old-fashioned art of living, at levels distinct from the seafront.

Offering the right price: the method

Home Select’s finders prepare every offer with three pieces: comparable sales of the micro-area, the technical condition of the property, co-ownership, diagnostics, servitudes, and the seller’s situation. On a market where international buyers decide fast, upstream preparation is what allows a firm offer at the right moment.

That is the difference between following a price and building one. In Nice, where the finest properties close before listing, this preparation and this watch separate the successful purchase from the frustration.

Property prices in Nice in 2026: your questions

What is the price per sqm in Nice in 2026?

The median of registered apartment sales in Nice stands at €4,900/sqm over the 12 months to end of June 2026, on more than seven thousand retained sales; the house median, very scarce in the Nice stock, stands clearly apart. These benchmarks come from published land registry data; the table on this page details the median by room count, and the range from the cheapest tenth of sales to the priciest is immense.

Have Nice prices kept rising?

Yes, clearly: the apartment median is up about a seventh since June 2022 in the published data, carried by international demand and supply squeezed between sea and hills. These benchmarks locate the market, they promise nothing: the decision to buy is made on a specific property at a price built on comparable sales.

Why do prices vary so much between the seafront and the hills?

Because they are not the same products: the promenade’s front line and the Carré d’Or are the most international value in town, while Cimiez, Mont Boron and Gairaut follow the logic of villas, views and calm. View, floor, lift and building quality create the gaps: that is why a Nice offer is prepared on comparable sales of the exact address.

How much does a sea-view villa in Nice cost?

Nice villas are judged outside medians: scarce in transactions, they concentrate on Mont Boron, Gairaut and the heights, and their value lies in view, exposure, condition and servitudes. A share of these sales closes without public listing. Home Select probes this confidential market for its clients, sale by sale.

What are your fees in Nice?

Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Nice, 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.
