Paris’s luxury real estate market is experiencing a major revival in 2025, with Junot reporting a 50% increase in high-end property transactions. Discover the drivers behind the surge, including renewed interest from global buyers and improved financing options.
Paris Luxury Real Estate Surges in 2025: Junot Reports Dramatic Market Revival
The Parisian luxury real estate market is experiencing a vigorous revival in the first half of 2025, according to the latest report from long-established luxury brand Junot. After a slowdown last year, all indicators now point to a remarkable upturn, with both French and international buyers renewing their appetite for high-end properties.
Luxury Market Transactions Soar
Junot revealed an impressive 50% increase in the total amount of luxury transactions in the first five months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This surge signals growing confidence among buyers and investors, fueling optimism for the high-end segment’s continuing recovery.
Family-Friendly Neighborhoods Lead the Way
Previously quieter residential neighborhoods in Paris, favored by families, are bouncing back faster than other areas. This is being driven by both local Parisians and foreign buyers, attracted by recovering loan conditions and renewed market activity.
Three key factors explain this revival:
- More Accessible Home Loans: Mortgage rates have stabilized around 3%, reinvigorating buyers’ purchasing power and confidence.
- Return of Bridge Loans: The return of the bridging loan makes it easier for families to upgrade or move, streamlining the transaction process.
- Emergence of “Golden First-Time Buyers”: A new generation of high-earning young executives, often supported financially by their families, now makes up 28% of Junot’s buyers, spending an average of €850,000 on their first properties.
International Buyers Flock Back to Paris
Paris’s reputation as a global safe haven for real estate is once again attracting international purchasers. American acquisitions are up 17% year-on-year, while buyers from Asia and the Middle East remain highly active.
Notable recent sales include:
- A 301 m² apartment in the 16th arrondissement with Eiffel Tower views—sold to a Kuwaiti family for €5.3 million.
- A 169 m² pied-à-terre in the 8th arrondissement—purchased by an American client for €3.9 million in cash.
Ultra-Prime Segment: The Power of Rarity
The ultra-premium segment stands out for its exclusivity. With an average price of €10.4 million per sale (€29,000/m²), Paris continues to allure a discerning global clientele seeking rare, ultra-prestigious properties, including turnkey homes and luxury hotel-style residences.
High-End Rentals: More Choice for Tenants
After a historic three-year supply crunch, the luxury rental market in Paris is regaining balance. Rental listings are up by 24% in 2025, with a sharp rise in long-term leasing: three times more new mandates and five times more signed leases compared to last year.
For example, in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a 118 m² apartment recently rented for €20,000 per month to international business clients.
Powered by renewed local and international demand, favorable financing conditions, and an influx of new, affluent buyers, Paris’s luxury real estate market is primed for growth in 2025. Junot’s latest data underscores Paris’s enduring allure for high-end buyers and the city’s place atop the global luxury property landscape.
