As the prices keep soaring and the empty apartments are everywhere, the City of Paris has decided to add a new string to its bow to fight against the housing crisis: a reduced-price housing offer made possible by a specific scheme called solidarity real lease (BRS). We’ll tell you all about it.
Hundreds of homes available starting this fall
This is the largest marketing campaign ever launched by the City of Paris. In less than 2 months, 233 homes located in the 14th, 18th, 19th, and 20th arrondissements of the capital will be on sale at a price that can’t be beat. Some are new to the market, while others come from previous operations.
s, during which they have not found a buyer. An arrangement made possible by a distinction between the building and the land, allowing buyers to purchase only the walls and not the land, which is subject to rent. This approach primarily aims to help young professionals and families, who must commit to making the housing their primary residence and adhere to certain income limits.🏡 Top départ pour la commercialisation des logements en Bail Réel Solidaire à #ChapelleCharbon !

A big discount!
Thanks to this initiative, the City is offering apartments available for an average of €4,900 per square meter, which is almost half the Paris average currently at €9,502. Housing ranging from 2 to 5 rooms will be up for sale, with prices ranging from €205,000 to €450,000. Not only does this initiative help Parisians become homeowners, but it also aims to free up social housing by selecting candidates in order to rehouse as many people as possible, contributing even more to the fight against the housing crisis. A second wave of sales will take place starting on September 25, mainly in the 18th this time around.
