Market conditions 2026
The Paris property market has undergone a significant correction since the 2022 peak. Prices have fallen 10-15% depending on the district, with marked variations between areas. This correction is mainly driven by the sharp rise in mortgage rates (from 1% to over 4% in 18 months), which excluded many buyers from the market.
In 2026, the market is entering a phase of stabilisation. Mortgage rates, after peaking at 4.5% at the end of 2023, are settling around 3-3.5%. The ECB has begun a monetary easing policy, and banks are regaining appetite for mortgage lending, with loosening approval criteria.
Structural support factors remain in place: scarcity of supply in Paris (no new construction possible), international attractiveness of the capital, and sustained rental demand. These elements limit the risk of a deeper correction.
Price evolution by area
Prime districts (6th, 7th, 4th)
-5 to -8%Limited correction. Scarcity of supply and sustained international demand protect these areas. Exceptional properties (views, terrace, period features) are holding particularly well.
Established Right Bank (8th, 9th, 16th, 17th)
-8 to -12%Average correction. Gradual return of buyers for quality properties. Well-located family apartments are finding buyers with reasonable negotiation.
Eastern Paris (10th, 11th, 12th, 20th)
-10 to -14%More pronounced correction. These areas, which had risen sharply, are experiencing a stronger adjustment. Opportunities for first-time buyers with solid profiles.
Northern periphery (18th, 19th)
-12 to -15%Significant correction. Attractive prices but longer selling times. Long-term appreciation potential for patient buyers.

average time
The number of transactions in Paris has dropped 25% compared to the 2022 peak. This decline is accompanied by a 30% increase in available supply, resulting in longer selling times and a balance of power favourable to buyers.
Market data shows that transactions now concentrate on two segments: small units (studios, 1-beds) which remain liquid thanks to investors, and prestige properties (1M€+) where international buyers, often with no need for financing, maintain sustained demand.
What we observe on the ground
Home Select Insights
Off-market is back : well-advised sellers prefer discretion. Our hunters access 20-30% of properties never listed on portals.
Negotiation is possible again : our hunters achieve an average of 6% below asking price, compared to 2-3% in 2021-2022.
Energy rating is decisive : poorly rated properties (F-G) suffer 15-20% discounts. Renovated properties with good ratings sell faster and at better prices.
International buyers are active : American, British and Gulf buyers are taking advantage of the weak euro and Paris’s favourable post-Brexit positioning.
