Luxury Real Estate in Paris - September 2025

The Parisian property market remains unique in the world, where rarity and exclusivity drive values that can sometimes reach vertiginous levels. After several years of correction, the market is now regaining strength. While some properties still require significant negotiations, the most sought-after addresses are selling quickly at record prices.

In this context, Paris Ouest Sotheby’s International Realty, leader in luxury real estate in Paris, supports an international clientele in search of exceptional properties: private mansions, Haussmannian apartments, penthouses with terraces and breathtaking views over the Seine or the Eiffel Tower.

A selective recovery: the exceptional at full price

According to the latest analyses, prices remain on average around 10% below their 2020 peak. But this average hides major disparities. In historic and prestigious districts, activity has resumed and sales are reaching spectacular levels.

In the heart of the 1st arrondissement, between rue de Rivoli and Place Vendôme, certain apartments now exceed €50,000/m². On the Île Saint-Louis, a 72 m² apartment with a view over the Seine sold for €25,000/m², confirming the appeal of rare properties offering unique panoramas. These transactions illustrate a fundamental trend: flawless properties sell at market price, while those requiring renovation need significant adjustments.

The Left Bank, still highly coveted

The 5th and 6th arrondissements have always embodied the intellectual and cultural soul of Paris. These neighborhoods, where apartments boast views over the Luxembourg Gardens or the rooftops of the Latin Quarter, attract both French and international buyers.

On rue Saint-Jacques, a 160 m² apartment with an 80 m² terrace sold for €24,000/m², while in the very popular Saint-Placide district, a 112 m² apartment in need of renovation was acquired for over €22,000/m². These figures confirm that the Left Bank remains one of the most prestigious areas of the capital. For buyers seeking discretion and authenticity, addresses such as rue Jacob or rue de l’Université remain synonymous with secure long-term value.

The Golden Triangle and the Right Bank: international appeal

On the Right Bank, the 8th and 16th arrondissements continue to attract strong demand. Avenue Montaigne, rue François-Ier or rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré regularly see sales at more than €30,000/m² for renovated and ideally located apartments.

Near Parc Monceau, a private mansion recently sold for €32,000/m², confirming buyers’ appetite for this prestigious sector. In the 16th, properties with flaws negotiate around €11,000/m², but family apartments with long balconies, terraces or private gardens reach €15,000/m² and more. Paris Ouest Sotheby’s International Realty, with its strategic presence on Avenue Victor Hugo, is a major player in this exceptional market.

Districts in renewal

Beyond legendary addresses, some areas are experiencing renewed attractiveness. The 9th arrondissement, around Saint-Georges or rue des Martyrs, appeals to a young and cosmopolitan clientele. Prices range between €9,000 and €11,000/m², with peaks above €16,000/m² for confidential addresses such as Avenue Frochot.

In the 3rd and 4th arrondissements, close to Place des Vosges, the offer remains diverse and still allows buyers to acquire properties with a touch of history. These lively neighborhoods are increasingly attractive to entrepreneurs, artists and investors looking for atypical properties: lofts, converted workshops, apartments in private mansions.

View, light and outdoor space: decisive criteria

In a market where supply remains limited, certain features make all the difference in the 16th and 17th arrondissements of Paris, two emblematic sectors of luxury Paris real estate. Properties offering unobstructed views over the Eiffel Tower, the Bois de Boulogne or Parc Monceau command prices 20 to 30% higher. Similarly, the presence of a long balcony, a spacious terrace or a private garden is a decisive asset for buyers.

In the 16th arrondissement, the most sought-after addresses such as Avenue Henri-Martin, rue de la Pompe or Place Victor Hugo see their family apartments and private mansions regularly reach €14,000 to €15,000/m², with even higher peaks for exceptional properties with outdoor spaces. In the 17th arrondissement, around Parc Monceau and Plaine-Monceau, Haussmannian apartments on high floors with balconies or garden views easily exceed €16,000/m², confirming the attractiveness of this neighborhood highly prized by families.
