Paris Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Paris

Paris blends historic boulevards, landmark architecture, and neighborhood life into one of Europe’s most recognisable urban settings. For apartment investors, the appeal is as much about the city’s enduring global profile as it is about the steady ways its districts differ from one another.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal in rents, which are moving faster than sale values and tightening the income equation. The average apartment rent is now €2,000, up 6.6% month over month and 11.1% year over year, while the average sale price sits at €595,000 after a 4.0% monthly decline and no change over the past year. That combination points to a market where rental growth is doing more of the work than capital appreciation right now.

The pricing picture at the square-metre level reinforces that contrast. At €10,920 per m2, the average is down 1.4% from last month but still 1.0% higher than a year ago, suggesting a modest reset rather than a broad pullback. Against that backdrop, the current apartment yield of 5.18% stands out as a useful benchmark for investors weighing income against a softer sales market. Paris remains a market where monthly movements matter, especially when rent growth is outpacing sale-price momentum.
