The luxury real estate market in Paris

In Paris, the luxury real estate market has known no crisis: over the last few years, high-end property sales have never ceased to increase, and prices may soon climb even higher than London.
Paris is set to become the leading European capital in terms of luxury and prestige real estate - ahead of London. Appealing more than ever to investors, the capital has witnessed a drastic rise in prices.
The luxury market has closely followed this dynamic. In the capital, there are more and more prestigious property buyers every year, and high-end offers are seized extremely quickly. Another significant change in the luxury sector: Paris is once again highly acclaimed by foreign investors, who up until recently seemed to snob the French capital.
Pre-2020, the luxury real estate market in Paris attracted a large proportion of international buyers from the United States, China, and the Middle East. During the pandemic, this demographic has shifted: there has been a virtual disappearance of Chinese and American buyers, who have not been able to go to France for many months. However, customers from the Middle East have been able to visit thanks to private travel, and European and French buyers have replaced our usual international customers to a significant extent.
According to the General Directorate of Construction and Land Valuation, the first quarter of 2020 saw an increase of 22% in the number of luxury home purchases compared to the same period in 2019.
