According to data published in the analytical review, prices for existing housing in France increased by 0.3% year-on-year between April and June 2025. Apartment prices rose by 0.7%, while house prices increased by 0.4%. These figures reflect a moderate positive trend following a period of price declines. 

The average price per square metre in Paris in October 2025 was around €9,580. The average time on market reached 68 days. The volume of housing transactions increased by approximately 5% compared with the beginning of the year. 

Mortgage rates in October 2025 remained close to 3%. They remain above pre-crisis levels but below the figures recorded in previous years. The savings rate of French households amounted to 18% of disposable income, the highest level in four decades. This factor affects buyer activity in the new-build segment. 

Regional differences persist. In Toulouse, Lyon and Nantes, prices declined year-on-year. In Paris, the pace of price decline slowed. Investment demand remains supported in the rental segment and in the renovation of low-energy-efficiency properties. 

The report notes that price adjustments and stabilisation in the mortgage market are reshaping the structure of investment demand. Increased attention is being paid to assets providing stable rental income and consistent demand outside Paris. 

Overall, the data show that France’s residential real estate market in 2025 is characterised by moderate price growth, regional divergence in price dynamics and stable credit conditions.
