The market in Paris right now

The Paris property market in 2026: What’s changing?

After a period of price correction in 2024 and 2025, Paris offered a rare window of opportunity for buyers, with softer pricing and more room to negotiate. But by late 2025 and early 2026, activity surged again. Prime properties began moving faster, competition among buyers increased, and confidence began to return to the market.

So where are we heading now? Are we still in a buyer’s market or is Paris quietly shifting back toward sellers? In this webinar, we break down what’s really happening on the ground, where opportunities still exist, and what international buyers should understand before making a move.

Insider tips & best practices

In Paris, the best properties often never appear on public portals. Real value goes far beyond price per square meter — floor level, natural light, layout, building condition, and renovation quality all play a major role.

We’ll share how experienced buyers:

• Identify true value (and avoid overpriced “pretty” apartments)
• Navigate co-ownership buildings and future renovation costs
• Understand energy ratings and upcoming regulations
• Use a local strategy — not just online listings — to access better opportunities
