French residential real estate market trends

Overview

The French housing market is experiencing shifts in buyer demographics and pricing. In Paris, first-time buyers face high entry costs and must navigate various financial aids, such as the Prêt à Taux Zéro, while balancing the desire for space against central city proximity.

Nationally, new housing is becoming more attractive to owner-occupiers. In the Île-de-France region, investor participation in new home sales dropped to 16% in the first half of 2026, compared to a 10-year average of 34%. This trend is supported by stabilizing mortgage rates and price corrections, with many cities reporting decreases in new apartment prices.
