In the official DVF records for 2024 and 2025, across the 28 French towns we follow from Saint-Tropez to Menton, 738 single houses and 713 single flats sold for between €1 million and €2 million. Among the western communes the most houses in this band sold in Mougins (80), Antibes (78), Roquefort-les-Pins (39), Grasse (35) and Valbonne (31).
At this level the hills between Valbonne and Grasse can offer a detached family villa with four bedrooms, a pool and a garden on its own plot.
Before buying in this band, a buyer should plan for:
- purchase costs of about 7% to 8% of the price on an existing home (buying costs);
- the IFI, which applies once your net French property assets exceed €1,300,000, including for non-residents (French property taxes);
- mortgage rules if you borrow: repayments are generally capped at 35% of income over at most 25 years (mortgages for non-residents).
