We thought it was the end of happiness and good news for those of you thinking about investing in the stones of the capital. Well, it turns out, maybe not. At the beginning of this year, prices seemed to stabilize and balance out a bit after several years of constant decline, but this March brings good news: it’s probably the best time to buy before a potential turning point comes later this year.
Very Affordable Districts
Let's start with great news: right now, in 6 of the 20 districts of the capital, we’re seeing prices per square meter below €9,000. This isn’t a new situation, but it seems to be confirming itself this March 2025, as out of the 6, 5 are recording p...
Prices are on average between 1.4% and 4.6% lower than last year. And, not surprisingly, it's the 19th, 18th, and 20th that take the lead, with prices ranging from €7,590/m² to €8,080/m².#Immobilier #Paris

Le 1er arrondissement de Paris est celui qui enregistre la plus forte baisse : -10,1 % en un an, avec un prix moyen de 12 180 €/m²

Surprisingly, the only district to record an increase in its prices for the year also happens to be in this category, as it's the 13th, which currently shows average prices of €8,530/m², reflecting a positive change of 2.3% since last year. It's still quite affordable, and this slight increase shouldn't significantly affect future sales. We definitely prefer to see prices go up there rather than in the 6th, the most expensive district, which boasts prices of €13,460/m².
Should we expect a more significant increase soon?
However, it’s not guaranteed that this situation will last for long, as real estate experts are noticing a growing return of buyers to the market,
as well as interest rates that just keep on dropping. These ingredients could very soon lead to a rise in prices.La ville des pied-a-terre c'est une ville vide que s'accaparent les plus riches

No worries though, we’re still far from the bar of over 10,000€ per square meter that was reached two years ago, even grazing 11,000. For now, we’re seeing more a reduction in price gaps between different neighborhoods rather than a real market explosion, since it’s the cheaper districts that are showing the smallest price drops, or even the only increases, as the 13th district demonstrates. So no panic, it’s still a great time to invest.
