Paris Apartment Prices Rise 1.2% as Growth Slows Year-Over-Year

Paris residential prices posted a 1.2 percent increase in the second quarter of 2026 against the same three months in 2025, according to figures compiled by the Chambre des Notaires de Paris.

The slower pace arrives as the Grand Paris Express metro lines open additional stations and as borrowing costs remain above the levels seen two years ago. Buyers now weigh longer repayment periods against flat or declining wages in several sectors, which has trimmed transaction volumes in the central arrondissements.

Variations by neighbourhood

Properties along Rue de Rivoli in the 1st and 4th arrondissements averaged 13,800 euros per square metre in the latest quarter, up 0.9 percent year on year. In the 10th, apartments near Canal Saint-Martin reached 10,400 euros per square metre, a 1.8 percent rise that outpaced the city average. Further out, new listings in the 19th around Parc de la Villette showed 8,700 euros per square metre after a 2.1 percent quarterly lift, supported by the arrival of the future Line 16 station at Porte de la Villette.

City-wide the median stood at 10,050 euros per square metre. The 1st through 8th arrondissements remained above 12,000 euros, while the 9th, 10th and 11th posted the strongest quarterly increments among the inner ring.

Next steps for buyers and sellers

Agents at Century 21 Paris report that properties listed under 9,500 euros per square metre in the outer arrondissements are receiving offers within three weeks when priced to recent comparable sales. Prospective buyers are advised to check the exact arrival dates of Grand Paris Express stations on the RATP website before committing, since proximity to confirmed stops continues to lift values faster than the broader market.
