Explore the maze-like streets of Malmousque or see a live show at La Criée theatre.
What are the most popular types of property in Marseille?
The two most popular types of properties for sale in Marseille are luxury apartments and stunning villas. Because of its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, the most sought-after homes here are close to the water.
High-end Marseille apartments include private terraces and patios, sea views, luxury suites with bespoke dressing rooms, gourmet kitchens, and shared spaces like fitness rooms. Some apartments also have independent studios for guests or workspaces.
Houses and villas in Marseille often have expansive terraces, private courtyards, landscaped gardens, wine cellars, light-filled rooms and spacious suites. Outdoors, expect to find pools, poolhouses, and summer kitchens.
You also may find multi-level townhouses in Marseille, offering elegant living across several floors. Commonly, the primary suite takes up the entire top floor and may include a balcony, gym or office.
What is the average price of property in Marseille?
Luxury apartments in Marseille cost approximately €10,600 to €15,200 per square metre. Marseille houses and villas have a broader price range, with some homes costing €3,500 or €4,500 per square metre and others being closer to €11,800 per square metre. Buyers can save significantly by exploring different property listings and considering currency conversion advantages.
Marseille’s luxury real estate market has been and continues to be strong. International buyers show increasing interest in the area, and the demand for waterfront properties is especially high. Moreover, Marseille has appeal for both home buyers and holidaymakers.
Where are the best locations to buy property in Marseille?
Marseille has numerous districts to consider when looking for property, and with beach, city, countryside and mountain settings in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, you’ll want to put a lot of thought into where you settle down.
Luxury real estate buyers are often drawn to Vieux Port, which is Marseille’s Old Port. You’ll mainly find seafront apartments here, and you’ll be near waterfront cafes, renowned seafood restaurants and stylish hotels. This is also an area that comes alive at night thanks to bars and clubs that stay open extra late.
La Joliette is another sought-after part of Marseilles, with a 19th-century castle and artworks that showcase Mediterranean history. The former maritime neighborhood has since been revitalized thanks to fashion brands, high-end shops, excellent restaurants and trendy night spots.
You’ll also find stunning apartments and villas near Rue de la République and the Saint-Charles station; L’Estaque, Les Goudes, and La Pointe-Rouge, where there are gorgeous seaside properties available; and Carré d’Or, which is home to some of Marseille’s most expensive properties.
Why should I consider investing in Marseilles real estate?
Marseilles has an incredible and unique combination of culture, history and luxury amenities. The popular port city in the Mediterranean also has unbeatable coastal views, world-class restaurants and exciting neighborhoods. Not only is Marseilles a great place to relocate to full-time, but it’s also ideal if you’re looking for a second home or an investment property to rent out during high tourism times of the year. The exclusivity of the properties available, including unique listings like architect-designed cottages, adds to the appeal for discerning buyers.
What is the process for purchasing a property in France for foreign buyers? Are there any restrictions?
While expats are more than welcome to buy Marseille property and relocate to France, the buying process can be confusing if you haven’t been through it before. There aren’t specific restrictions against foreigners purchasing property in France, but guidelines may be more strict. For example, you may have to provide additional financial information to qualify for a mortgage or have your offer accepted by the property owner.
Here are the basic steps to expect when buying a home in France:
- You and your property agent will search for a property that suits your specifications.
- When you’ve found a property you’re interested in buying, you’ll make an offer to the owner in writing.
- Upon acceptance, you and the property owner will sign the initial contract, called the Compromis de Vente. This document will include the details of the property and sale, though those details may change before the deed is drawn up.
- You’ll pay the deposit, which is generally between 5% and 10% of the purchase price.
- A mandatory 10-day cooling-off period gives the buyer the chance to pull out of the purchase without losing their deposit.
- If you choose to continue with the purchase, the conveyancing process follows the cooling-off period. During this time, the notaire will arrange for property inspections and prepare the final documents.
- You and the owner will sign the Acte de Vente, which is the deed, and you’ll pay the final amount due. At this point, the home is officially yours!
Expats face certain hurdles that French residents don’t when buying a property in France. That’s why it’s smart to work with a property agent who can explain each step of the process. It’s also a good idea to hire a financial advisor who can help you with exchange rates, as well as a translator if you don’t yet speak fluent French.
