The real estate market in the center of Paris rests on two iconic yet structurally different arrondissements: the Paris 1st arrondissement (75001) and the Paris 2nd arrondissement (75002).
Situated around the Louvre, Place Vendôme, the Bourse, Montorgueil, and the Grands Boulevards, these two sectors concentrate an international, heritage-focused, and investor clientele.
In 2026, consolidated data confirms a structural gap.

"Fairway Luxury Real Estate assists sellers and buyers in the 75001 and 75002 with strategic analysis based on documented transactions and micro-local dynamics of the center of Paris."
The median price observed in 2026 in the 75001 is €14,719 / sqm, with significant differences depending on the micro-location.
Addresses close to Place Vendôme or the Louvre can exceed €20,000 / sqm, and even €30,000 / sqm for exceptional properties.
The median price in the 75002 is €12,789 / sqm.
Sectors like Montorgueil, Place des Victoires, or Rue Vivienne can reach €18,000 to €22,000 / sqm for high-end restructured properties.
The gap is explained by:
The 75001 is more of an address market, while the 75002 is a more active residential market.
Yes, slightly.
The 2nd is rent-wise more dynamic, particularly for intermediate sizes.
Yes, especially in the 75001 where family options are limited.
Sizes between 40 sqm and 90 sqm are very liquid in both arrondissements.
Large surface areas are rare in both arrondissements.
In the 75001, they can reach very high levels but require a specific international clientele.
In the 75002, they often involve restructured lofts or raw spaces.
An overestimation of 5% can stall the sale for several months.
Yes. A property rated F or G can suffer a discount of 10% to 15%, as buyers immediately incorporate the cost of energy renovation.
The market is selective but stable. Well-positioned properties find buyers. The premium micro-addresses in the 75001 remain highly sought after.
The choice depends on the project: long-term conservation or active investment.
A serious estimate must incorporate:
An arrondissement average is valueless without micro-local analysis.
