Property in France for sale

After the rapid growth in 2010-2020, when French real estate "doubled" in price, there was a slight correction and a decrease in activity in the market, but starting in 2025, there has been a return of positive dynamics, although the increase in housing costs is quite moderate.

Paris and popular Alpine resorts remain the main places of attraction for foreign buyers (23) and the Cote d'Azur. In these areas, the share of real estate transactions involving non-residents ranges from 3 to 10%, while the national average activity of foreigners is low and accounts for about 2% of total sales.

Foreigners are attracted by the high standards of living, prestige and status of buying a home in France, as well as the safety and reliability of investments in the long term. The country's legislation does not restrict citizens of other countries from purchasing real estate, but the conditions for obtaining borrowed funds and taxes for citizens and non-residents may differ.

Average house prices in France as of the beginning of 2026 are about 3,000 euros per square meter. The most expensive property is located on Cote d'Azur (257), fashionable ski resorts and the capital of the country – Paris (23), where the average cost of housing exceeds 9,000 euros / sq.m. In other large cities, prices range from 3,500 to 5,000 euros / sq.m.
