What registered sales say, not listings
The survey of sales registered in Sète over the 12 months to end of June 2026 counts 1,135 transactions: 1,001 apartments and 134 houses. Calculated on the French land registry data (demandes de valeurs foncières), published sale by sale, the two medians stand at €3,400/sqm for apartments and €4,300/sqm for houses. In Sète, a house costs more per square metre than an apartment. Houses are only a small share of sales in a town of quays and apartment buildings, and the fisherman’s house with a view of the water is in demand.
The range tells the rest. For apartments, the cheapest tenth of sales trades below €1,900/sqm and the most expensive tenth above €5,600/sqm: a threefold spread, between an apartment to renovate in a discounted district and a renovated floor with a view of the water. For houses, the range runs from €2,600 to €8,700/sqm, for a median floor area of 100 sqm: the Sète house is often a narrow, deep fisherman’s house of modest size.
Since June 2022, the trend reads as follows: the apartment median has risen by 12%, with a climb until end of June 2023, then a plateau and a slight 1% fall over one year at end of June 2026. It sits just above the Hérault apartment median, €3,300/sqm, while Sète houses stand well above the department’s house median, €2,900/sqm.
What these figures cannot say: neither the floor, nor the view, nor the condition of the building. Yet in Sète, damp in the walls along the canals, façade works to come or the energy performance of old stock weigh as much as the address.

The square metre depends on size
As often in old towns, the Sète square metre costs more small than large. The table on this page shows it room by room for apartments: a median of €3,800/sqm for a studio, €2,600/sqm from five rooms upwards. A large family apartment therefore trades far lower per square metre than a studio.
Houses follow the same, gentler slope at a higher level: a median of €4,200/sqm for four rooms, €4,100/sqm from five upwards. The practical consequence: comparing a property with the town median means nothing. The useful comparison is made at comparable size, district and view, against recent sales in the same micro-area.
04Prices
Five districts, as many price levels
The medians published here do not go down to district level, and yet that is where everything plays out. Sète reads as five districts, each almost a town of its own: the old centre and the canals, the mont Saint-Clair and its heights, the corniche and its beaches, La Pointe-Courte, the Môle and the port front. The gap shifts from one quay to the next, sometimes from one street to the next, and listings rarely say so.
- 01 On the water
The old centre, the canals and the corniche: renovated quays in strong demand, renovated floors that go fast, apartments with a terrace facing the sand, where demand stays steady.
- 02 The heights
The mont Saint-Clair: houses with a sea view on one side, the Thau lagoon on the other, steep streets and a car essential. The real view, which must be checked, makes the price.
- 03 More contained values
La Pointe-Courte, where the discount persists for those who accept the district’s rules, and the Môle, its simple apartments and converted warehouses, where part of the town’s transformation is playing out.

Offering the right price, remotely: the method
In Sète, Home Select leads the search at management level and draws on its network of 15,000 partners. The brief is set by video call or by phone; each property is qualified on paper, pre-viewed on video with the seller’s agent, and its price is tested against comparable DVF sales in the same micro-area. You travel only for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip, for the only properties that have passed the documents and the video.
Then comes the negotiation, backed by that file. On old buildings, have the works costed before the offer. Home Select also secures the preliminary contract and coordinates with the notaire through to completion. The median frames, it does not decide: that is the difference between following a price and building one.
A property finder answers within one working day. A first confidential conversation, with no commitment.

Frequently asked questions
Property prices in Sète in 2026
What is the price per sqm in Sète in 2026?
The median of registered apartment sales in Sète stands at €3,400/sqm over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (1,001 sales), and the house median at €4,300/sqm (134 sales). The most expensive tenth of apartments sells above €5,600/sqm, the cheapest tenth below €1,900/sqm. These benchmarks come from published land registry data; the table on this page details the median by room count.
Have prices risen in Sète since June 2022?
Yes: the apartment median has risen by 12% since June 2022 in the published data, with a plateau since end of June 2023 and a 1% fall over one year. Nobody knows where the market will be in two years, and anyone claiming otherwise is inventing. Home Select’s posture: build every price on comparable sales, advise you to have the works costed before the offer, and negotiate. The decision is made on a specific property, not on a forecast.
Is Sète dearer than its neighbours?
It depends on the property. In apartments, Sète, at €3,400/sqm over the 12 months to end of June 2026, stays below Frontignan, Balaruc-les-Bains and Balaruc-le-Vieux (€4,000/sqm) and below Marseillan and Agde (€3,700/sqm), just above the Hérault median. In houses, it moves ahead: €4,300/sqm, against €3,600/sqm in Mèze, Loupian and Bouzigues, €3,300/sqm in Gigean, Poussan and Cournonterral, and €2,900/sqm for houses across the Hérault.
How much does a fisherman’s house in Sète cost?
The Sète house median, €4,300/sqm over the 12 months to end of June 2026 for a median floor area of 100 sqm, gives the order of magnitude, but a fisherman’s house is judged case by case: the view of the water, damp in the walls, façade works, energy performance and parking create wide gaps between two neighbouring houses. Have the walls surveyed and the works costed before the offer: that is what the price is set on.
