Understanding the Parisian market

Is the Paris property market going up or down in 2026?
The Paris market is stabilizing in 2026 after a 10-15% correction since 2022. The average price stands at 11,865 EUR/sqm. Transaction volumes are gradually recovering as mortgage rates ease.
What budget should I plan for buying an apartment in Paris?
The budget depends heavily on the arrondissement. For a 50sqm apartment, expect from 400 EUR in the 20e to 800 EUR in the 6e. In Île-de-France, prices range from 2,500 EUR/sqm to 21,300 EUR/sqm.
How does Home Select analyse the market for its clients?
Home Select relies on 16 property hunters active in the field every day, public transaction data, and 1,200+ completed missions since 2011. This triple expertise enables us to identify undervalued properties and negotiate an average of 6% below the asking price.
Paris or Île-de-France: where to buy in 2026?
Central Paris offers location and long-term value, with prices from 8,800 to 16,400 EUR/sqm. The 46 Île-de-France municipalities covered by Home Select allow you to gain 30 to 50% more space for the same budget, with cities like Noisy-le-Sec offering prestige and quality of life.
Can a foreigner buy property in Paris, and who pays the agent?
Yes: France places no restrictions on foreign or non-resident buyers. One difference from the US or UK is that the buyer, not the seller, pays the property hunter (chasseur) who works on their behalf, typically 2.5% of the price and only on a successful purchase. Notary fees of 7 to 8% are identical for every buyer.
