After a period of adjustment, the Paris property market is showing signs of renewed equilibrium. At 56Paris, we are seeing both buyers and sellers regain confidence, as the demand for well-located, high-quality properties begins to pick up again. Recent data confirms that central Paris continues to offer long-term value, particularly for international buyers seeking a pied-à-terre with enduring appeal. In this evolving landscape, properties that combine Parisian charm with solid fundamentals remain particularly resilient—and increasingly sought-after.
Signs of Stability—and Opportunity
Following several quarters of price corrections, the Paris market is now entering a more balanced phase. According to the LPI-SeLoger barometer, July 2025 saw Paris lead national figures with the strongest quarterly growth in asking prices. While the capital had previously experienced price declines, current trends point to a stabilization, particularly for well-located, high-quality apartments.
Figures from Meilleurs Agents show that Paris prices as a whole have remained largely stable since the start of the year, but with noteworthy nuances:
in certain prestigious districts—such as Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Marais, and the 16th arrondissement—asking prices have shown moderate but consistent growth. These neighborhoods continue to attract interest from both French and international buyers who value location, heritage charm, and long-term asset protection.
Where Buyers Are Focusing in 2025
Among Paris’ 80 administrative neighborhoods, a select few continue to stand out for their enduring desirability and exceptional value. At the very top of the list is Saint-Thomas d’Aquin, located in the heart of the Left Bank’s 7th arrondissement. With average prices reaching €16,697/m², it is the most exclusive sector in the capital.
This refined neighborhood—home to numerous embassies, ministries including the Hôtel Matignon, and elegant Haussmannian architecture—is also where 56Paris is proudly based. Its calm, tree-lined streets, cultural institutions, and proximity to the Seine make it a perennial favorite for discerning buyers seeking the quintessential Parisian experience.
Closely following are Notre-Dame in the 4th arrondissement, with its island charm and medieval heritage (€16,600/m²), and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a historic favorite renowned for its lively café culture, literary past, and architectural prestige (€16,200/m²).
For our international clientele, these neighborhoods are more than addresses—they represent a secure, cultural, and emotional investment in Parisian life.

A Return of Buyers—Discerning but Active
After a muted 2023, the market is seeing renewed activity in 2025. Agents on the ground confirm that transactions are picking up, especially in the upper segments of the market. Buyers are more selective and well-informed, but they are active—particularly when it comes to properties that combine Parisian character with turnkey quality.
This recovery in buyer interest is supported by gradually improving financing conditions. While mortgage rates remain higher than in the low-interest years, they have stabilized and are even starting to ease slightly. Cash buyers, particularly common in the pied-à-terre market, remain less affected by credit trends and are well positioned to act on opportunities.
A Strategic Moment for Sellers
For owners considering a sale, this may be a strategic moment. According to Boursorama, while the overall number of transactions remains below long-term averages, there is renewed dynamism in central Paris. Well-presented, realistically priced properties are selling—often within a reasonable timeframe—while overpricing can still lead to stagnation.
Sellers who present their property with care—highlighting renovation quality, architectural features, and optimal use of space—are more likely to attract serious buyers. And in a market where high-end demand is returning, properties with unique charm continue to command attention.

Long-Term Fundamentals Intact
Whether buying or selling, the long-term fundamentals of the Paris market remain reassuring. The city's global appeal, historic preservation, and limited supply of quality real estate continue to underpin its value as a sound investment.
At 56Paris, we continue to observe that discerning international clients view Paris not just as a place to stay, but as a city to anchor themselves—culturally and financially.
For those considering a centrally located pied-à-terre, now may be an opportune time to act with confidence, while the market finds its rhythm. We invite you to contact our team to discuss your goals—we would be happy to guide you through your purchase or sale with discretion and expertise.
