Frequently asked questions
Is the Paris property market rising or falling in 2026?
In February 2026, the Paris market shows signs of stabilisation after the 2023-2024 correction. Prices are holding around 10,500 euros/sqm on average. Some central arrondissements (3rd, 6th, 7th) show slight increases, while outer areas remain stable.
When is the best time to buy in Paris?
There is no universally ideal season. However, September and the beginning of the year see the most new listings. Quieter periods (summer, year-end holidays) sometimes offer less competition among buyers and more room for negotiation.
How are mortgage rates evolving in 2026?
Mortgage rates have stabilised around 3-3.5% in early 2026 for a 20-year loan. This stabilisation, after the 2023-2024 increases, is helping buyers return to the market and supporting transaction volumes.
