The middle half is the range from the 25th to the 75th percentile of sales in that town. Cannes shows why it matters: its median is EUR 5,721, but a quarter of its apartments sold above EUR 7,805.

What do homes cost in the hills behind the coast?

Less per m², as a rule: apartments from EUR 3,077 in Grasse to EUR 4,696 in Mougins. Houses are where the hinterland is bought, and a house's price includes its land.

Houses sold in 2025, on the coast and in the hills, in towns with at least 30 house sales. Because the price of a house includes its plot, its price per m² of living space is not comparable with an apartment's.

How were these figures computed?

From every 2025 sale in DVF for the Alpes-Maritimes: sales only, one dwelling per deed (a cellar or parking space allowed), price divided by the built surface. Towns with fewer than 30 such sales are not shown, which leaves out Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Èze.

Also excluded: units under 9 m² and results below EUR 500 or above EUR 50,000 per m², which are almost always recording errors or partial transactions. The department's ski resorts are left out of the tables because they are a different market. Monaco is a separate country and is not in DVF.

How do you check whether a Riviera property is priced right?

Divide the price by the surface and compare it with the median and the middle half for its town. Above the top of the middle half, the home needs a reason: the sea view, the terrace, the building, the position on the hill.

Listings quote the Carrez surface, which leaves out areas under 1.80 m of ceiling height, so a top-floor flat can look dearer per m² than on the built surface used here. Then add notary fees and taxes: France property buying costs. The same figures for the capital: Paris price per m².

A town median still mixes a seafront flat with one five streets back. The Custom Report checks the unit itself: every listing in your budget, ranked against comparable homes in the same area, so you can check the unit clears the bar before you sign.
