Real estate prices in Paris showed little change in 2026, according to a report from SeLoger–Meilleurs Agents. As of September 1, 2026, the average price for apartments was 9,670 euros per square meter, while individual houses had an average price of 10,101 euros per square meter, though these were less commonly sold. The average rent for an apartment reached 33.27 euros per square meter, with a gross rental yield of 4.1 percent for a two-room apartment. While apartment prices had not changed over the past year, they had fallen by 10.5 percent over five years, one of the largest declines in the data series. The average time to sell a property remained steady at 70 days, slightly up from 68 days a year earlier. Mortgage rates in Paris returned to around 3.65 percent for a 20-year loan at the beginning of 2026, a shift influenced by an oil shock tied to the Middle East conflict. This situation makes it unlikely for the real estate market to recover quickly, especially after years of decline. Rent control measures introduced in Paris in July 2019 were set to expire on November 24, 2026, unless new regulations extended them. Paris continues to be the most expensive city in the Île-de-France region, with apartment prices significantly higher than in nearby cities like Boulogne-Billancourt (8,347 euros/m²) or Versailles (7,558 euros/m²). Over the past year, Paris saw almost no change in apartment prices, unlike areas such as Évry, where prices fell by 6.1 percent, or Saint-Denis, where they dropped by 5.6 percent. In contrast, Boulogne-Billancourt saw a slight increase of 1.5 percent. The Paris real estate market reached its peak in July 2020, before the general upward trend seen in most major French cities from 2021 to 2022. Since then, prices have dropped by 12.0 percent, one of the most significant long-term declines recorded. However, prices are still 4.7 percent higher than they were in January 2018. Looking ahead to 2027, nationally, two scenarios are expected: either tensions will ease, or the current situation will continue. In Paris, where the market has been in decline since 2020, the best-case scenario might only stabilize prices without reversing the overall downward trend.
