In addition, the increased international visibility has made the metropolis more attractive.

Is it possible to find an attractive property in Paris for less than 500,000 euros?
Looking at Paris real estate prices, this might seem impossible at first glance. However, there are a few ways to fulfill the dream of owning your own four walls in the “City of Love” even on a smaller budget:
Micro-apartments
In the 17th and 18th arrondissem*nts, near Montmartre, prices per square meter are a little lower – at 10,000 to 11,000 euros. Compared to the heart of the city, the Paris real estate market in these districts is somewhat more relaxed. Here it’s worth looking for small apartments 40 to 50 square meters in size.Neuilly sur Seine & Boulogne-Billancourt

They offer an appealing mix of urban living, green spaces, and a high quality of life. The Paris property market is somewhat more relaxed here, with the price per square meter at around 11,200 euros for Neuilly sur Seine and 8,100 euros for Boulogne-Billancourt. At the same time, these municipalities are well connected to the Paris transport network. You can reach the heart of the metropolis in just over 20 minutes.
Alexis Caquet, Managing Director of Engel & Völkers France, provides an outlook for the Paris real estate market:
“Since March 2024, we have seen an upturn in activity on the Paris real estate market. The gradual fall in interest rates is playing a key role in this. Lower borrowing costs are restoring confidence to prospective buyers and boosting real estate transactions. In the premium real estate segment, the Paris property market remains very resilient. The Olympic Games are putting our capital city in the global spotlight and increasing the appeal of the real estate sector. Foreign buyers in particular are showing great interest in the Paris real estate market, especially Americans, but also Italians, Belgians, and Germans. The positive effects will be visible from the fourth quarter of 2024.”
