Antibes · Second home
Home Select, a prestige buyer’s agent, sets out the rules of a second home in Antibes: the three usages of the cape, the old town and Juan, the town’s permanent and seasonal double rhythm, and the charges sort. The guide to a pied-à-terre that lives year-round, not three months.
Updated on 15 October 2026
A first confidential conversation, with no commitment
01Second home
Cap d’Antibes for the confidential estate under the pines, old Antibes for the town house within the ramparts, Juan-les-Pins for the lively seafront: three usages, three budgets, three managements. Antibes is a year-round town, carried by Sophia Antipolis: shops open in winter, a port that lives all season.
That is what sets the town apart from resorts: a second home stays alive there out of season, and international families settle there for good.

02Second home
Antibes combines two rhythms: the permanent one of Sophia Antipolis and its executives, and the seasonal one of Port Vauban and Juan-les-Pins. That double rhythm makes an Antibes pied-à-terre a lively place in every season, well beyond summer.
Home Select’s finders assess the file from the selection onward: real charges of residences, co-ownership bylaw, technical condition of the stock. The right Antibes pied-à-terre lives year-round, with no bad surprise in the file.
Discretion and upkeep: the wealth choice, for long calm stays.
The town on foot, the Provençal market, the port: character that lives year-round.
The lively seafront, beaches and shops, residence charges to read.
03Second home
The market follows the Riviera calendar: active in spring, March to June, then at the September-October rentrée, slowed but never stopped in summer. For a remote buyer, the winter brief prepares the spring shortlist: the sequence Home Select’s finders hold most often.
A buyer’s agent answers within one working day. A first confidential conversation, with no commitment.
On the ground
On this market, a share of the sought-after properties sells before publication, between families and through notaires and local networks. Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties every day from its network of 15,000 partners.
Every lead is verified and priced for you before you travel, on file then on a video viewing: you view only the shortlisted properties, your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip. Home Select then defends your offer, with a complete file and the actual sales of the area in hand.
Surveys, co-ownership rules, easements, local building specifics: every document is checked before you commit.
Both are billed only if the property is found and the purchase completed.

By usage: the cape for the confidential estate, old Antibes for the town on foot, Juan-les-Pins for the lively seafront. Antibes lives year-round, carried by Sophia Antipolis: a pied-à-terre stays alive there in every season.
The real charges of residences, above all in Juan-les-Pins where pools, parks and services weigh on the arbitrage; the co-ownership bylaw; the technical condition of the stock, façades and small co-ownerships of old Antibes. These lines are read before the offer, never after: the file decides, not the listing.
Two neighbouring markets, two registers: Cannes is more liquid and more seasonal, Antibes more residential and more balanced year-round. The choice plays on usage and frequency of stays. Home Select documents both before settling.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Antibes, 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.
