After a period of turbulence, the Parisian luxury property market is roaring back to life. According to the latest report from Vaneau, the leading Parisian real estate agency, high-end real estate in Paris has confirmed its rebound in 2025. With a 52% surge in new buyers since January and a 56% increase in promises to sell, the City of Light is once again shining for property investors from around the world.
Prices Stabilize, Market Fluidity Returns
The past two years brought about much-needed price corrections, which have now stabilized values between €13,500/m² and €30,000/m², depending on the area and amenities. This stabilization has restored confidence among buyers, fueling faster transactions as more buyers are willing to make offers without conditions precedent—a sign of growing certainty and reduced hesitation.
Notably, the most prestigious neighborhoods on the Left Bank, especially the 6th and 7th arrondissements, have regained their historical attractiveness. Evidence of this trend: summer 2025 was a record-breaking season for property sales in these districts, an unusual feat for traditionally slow months. Meanwhile, foreign buyers now account for 28% of high-end sales citywide, sharply rising to 45% in the 7th.
Sought-After Properties and Prime Investment Hotspots
Turnkey, fully renovated apartments and historic private mansions remain the most coveted assets, especially those with balconies, terraces, gardens, and panoramic city views. Some of the top sales in 2025 include:
- A 107m² apartment with Eiffel Tower views in Champ-de-Mars (7th), sold at €17,870/m².
- In the 16th, a prestigious 170m² property in Jasmin went for €14,150/m², while top-tier Golden Triangle and Trocadéro properties still reach €30,000/m².
- The Marais (4th) stabilizes with renovated properties like a 94m² rue de Rivoli home going for €12,100/m².
- In up-and-coming areas like the 9th, properties with terraces or on upper floors are achieving €12,500–€17,500/m², showing continued buyer enthusiasm.
Neighbouring towns such as Neuilly-sur-Seine and Boulogne-Billancourt also remain safe bets—Neuilly upholds high prices thanks to its exclusive lifestyle and top schools, while Boulogne, particularly north and central districts, attracts families seeking value and quality of life.
Who’s Buying Parisian Luxury in 2025?
The 2025 luxury real estate boom is driven by both international and domestic buyers. Americans, Asians, and Middle Eastern investors are increasing their presence, especially in the 7th and 16th, drawn by the euro’s ongoing weakness and Paris’s reputation as a global safe haven. These buyers demand move-in ready properties, high-tech amenities, privacy, and views of iconic sites like the Eiffel Tower or Bois de Boulogne.
French families, senior executives, and independent professionals also remain strong in the market. Upgraded properties in the Marais and 15th are especially popular, as stabilized mortgage rates bring first-time buyers off the sidelines and encourage rental investments in prime districts.
2025 Outlook: Where to Invest in Parisian High-End Real Estate?
- Left Bank (6th & 7th arrondissements): Regaining energy, seeing exceptional sales—even in summer. Ideal for investors seeking a historic, trophy property.
- Right Bank (Marais, 9th, and 16th): The Marais remains a perennial favorite for its history and culture. The 9th offers dynamic growth potential, while the 16th delivers traditional Parisian prestige and strong rental yields.
- 15th arrondissement: Increasing interest from both local and foreign buyers, with properties near Montparnasse and the 7th border in high demand.
- Greater Paris (Neuilly & Boulogne): Consistent value and family appeal, with fast sales and minimal negotiation.
What Makes a Property Sell?
In the luxury segment, uniqueness, architectural value, and turnkey readiness are the ultimate selling points. Vaneau now lists nearly 80 homes worth over €4 million, catering to an elite clientele seeking timeless prestige and strong asset protection.
Paris Remains a Prime Global Real Estate Destination
The 2025 recovery of Parisian high-end real estate offers both reassurance and opportunities for discerning investors.
