The Villiers district, straddling Paris 8th and 17th, is one of the city’s hottest micro-markets. With strong demand, scarce supply, and rising prices, apartments here sell fast and often above asking. Fairway Luxury Real Estate analyzes the market for the first half of 2025.
Discover the Villiers real estate market in Paris 8 & 17: high demand, limited supply, and prices ranging from €13,000 to over €20,000/m².
The Villiers area, straddling the 8th and 17th arrondissements, is one of those micro-markets where demand far outweighs supply.
The first half of 2025 confirmed this trend: apartments here sell quickly, often at premium prices, due to the extremely low turnover. In this neighborhood, the market feels far removed from any broader slowdown. Properties come onto the market in a trickle, and almost every new listing attracts ten or more serious buyers right away
Villiers brings together all the elements of an ideal Parisian lifestyle:
- A lively, commercial neighborhood: the Marché de Lévis, cafés, and daily shops (not to mention Le Dôme or Monoprix).
- Excellent accessibility: Villiers metro (lines 2 and 3) provides rapid connections across Paris.
- Well-regarded schools: Fénelon, Chaptal, and other prestigious institutions nearby.
- The Parc Monceau just steps away: a decisive factor for families.
As a result, within a 500-meter radius of Villiers station, demand is explosive. Parisian families and returning expatriates focus intensely on this specific area, where elegant Haussmannian buildings and a true neighborhood life converge.
- Entry-level properties needing work or in low floors without elevators start around €10,000–11,000/m².
- Renovated, well-laid-out apartments on higher floors sell for €13,000–15,000/m².
- Exceptional properties, especially near Parc Monceau or in prestigious Haussmannian buildings, exceed €16,000–18,000/m².
- A few rare transactions have even surpassed the symbolic €20,000/m² threshold.
- Boulevard de Courcelles (8th): 195 m² sold for over €21,000/m² – a record, underlining the rarity of trophy properties.
- Rue de Copenhague (8th): 100 m², 5th floor, at €13,500/m² – typical of mid-sized units prized by families.
- Rue de Monceau (8th): 167 m², upper floor, around €14,000/m² – classic value for the Monceau sector.
- Rue de Thann (17th): 99 m² sold at €14,000/m², showing that even smaller, well-located properties in the 17th sell fast.
- Avenue de Villiers (17th): 180 m², to renovate, at €12,700/m² – in line with market expectations for large units needing work.
- Scarcity is the rule: Villiers is a micro-market where quality apartments are counted on one hand.
- Demand explodes within 500 meters of Villiers metro: families, expatriates, and investors all want in.
- Micro-location matters: on the 8th arrondissement side or near Parc Monceau, prices rise sharply.
- 100–140 m² apartments form the core market: trading around €13,000–14,500/m².
- Large units sell well, but buyers negotiate when significant renovations are needed.
Villiers is a market driven by passion: everyone wants to buy, but few owners are willing to sell.
As a result, when a quality apartment hits the market, it is taken by storm.
For sellers, this means the opportunity to sell quickly and at strong prices, provided the property is positioned realistically.
For buyers, it means being reactive and well-prepared, because good opportunities rarely come twice.
