Paris Real Estate Market 2025: Fairway Luxury Real Estate’s Insight Into Premium Districts

Paris 2025: A Real Recovery… But Deeply Uneven

According to the latest PAP study reported by Le Parisien, buyer demand in Paris has increased by 3.2% over one year. This signals a shift after two complex years.

However, our on-the-ground expertise shows that Paris is no longer a single market. It has become:

• technical,
• micro-local,
• driven by scarcity,
• sensitive to property condition,
• and selective regarding architectural and heritage quality.

In premium districts (8th, 17th, 7th, 9th), where Fairway operates daily, disparities are widening. Precision is now essential.

17th District: A Two-Speed Market

A 24% Drop in Demand: A Misleading Figure

PAP reports a 24% decline in buyers in the 17th. This is true—but only for part of the district.

Batignolles / Épinettes: strong demand contraction due to competition with Clichy, Levallois and Saint-Ouen.
Ternes / Wagram / Courcelles / Villiers / Plaine-Monceau: stable or sustained demand for bright, well-designed, upper-floor or renovated apartments.

Two Different Market DNAs

The 17th operates with two distinct forces:

• a family-driven market sensitive to price per sqm,
• a heritage-driven market focused on Haussmann elegance and rare reception apartments.

8th District: A Precise and Highly Technical Market

The 8th district attracts demanding and methodical buyers who analyse:

• sunlight,
• layout depth,
• building quality,
• technical condition,
• heritage value,
• volume usability.

Three profiles dominate: long-time residents, returning expatriates, and international buyers seeking secure heritage assets.

7th District: High-End, Selective and Financially Filtered

Regularly exceeding €13,000/sqm, the 7th remains a heritage stronghold. Demand softens slightly, mostly due to budget constraints—not declining interest.

Its market is driven by solvent buyers, international investors and families seeking schools, calm and prestige.

9th District: The Balance Paris Buyers Want

The 9th remains one of the most fluid markets in Paris thanks to:

• central location,
• architectural charm,
• excellent transport connections,
• vibrant neighbourhood life,
• strong price-to-quality attractiveness.

The Key Takeaway: Parisian Averages Explain Nothing

Two apartments in the same building can differ by:

• +15% for a higher floor,
• +10% for orientation,
• +12% for an efficient layout,
• +8% for perfect condition,
• +5% for a well-maintained building.
