Prices stabilising... but remaining solid
In Nice, prices range between €5,600 and €6,000/m², while in Cannes and premium areas they comfortably exceed €10,000/m². In the ultra-luxury segment, Saint-Tropez shows a median price of around €12,100/m², illustrating the exceptional resilience of the French Riviera.
This is not a market collapse: it is a normalisation after years of euphoria. And for the buyer, that is good news.
Should you buy in 2026?
Yes, if you are looking for your primary residence or a quality property. Current conditions are among the best since 2021:
- Interest rates are expected to fall gradually in 2026 if inflation remains confirmed under control
- Some sellers are now open to negotiation, which was rare two years ago
- International demand remains structurally strong on the Côte d'Azur, driven by European, American and Middle Eastern buyers
- The seasonal rental market remains very dynamic, offering good returns for investors
Worth watching: lending conditions remain strict, and regulation around short-term rentals (such as Airbnb) is gradually tightening in certain municipalities.
Why the Côte d'Azur remains a safe investment
Côte d'Azur real estate benefits from unique structural advantages: scarcity of land, worldwide tourist appeal, a wealthy international clientele and an unrivalled quality of life. Even during slowdowns, this market holds firm where others falter.
In 2026, with around 940,000 transactions expected in France, the recovery is real — but cautious. On the Côte d'Azur, well-located properties in good condition sell quickly.
