The notaries of Greater Paris have given a heads-up to buyers since the year's start: Paris property prices aren't tanking anytime soon, instead, expect a near 2% rise in Paris prices by next June, reaching 9,640 euros per square meter. This prediction is based on sales agreements sealed in the last quarter.
Paris isn't an outlier, the notaries emphasize. They predict prices in the Île-de-France region to pick up again by June. Specifically, they anticipate a 2.3% surge in apartment prices in the region in June, with a 2.5% jump in the densely populated suburbs (Hauts-de-Seine, Val-de-Marne, Seine-Saint-Denis) and a 3% rise in the suburbs further away (Yvelines, Essonne, Val-d'Oise, Seine-et-Marne). House prices, meanwhile, are projected to increase by 2.6%, with a more significant uptick in the suburbs (+3.3%) than in the densely populated areas (+1%).
While prices in Paris have leveled off since February 2025, they were at 9,500 euros per square meter, as reported by the notaries of Greater Paris on April 24, 2025. Across the Île-de-France region, the decline in property prices decreased by only 1.6% over one year in February 2025, with apartments down by 1.1% and houses down by 2.5%.

The stabilization of the prices, according to the notaries of Greater Paris, can be attributed to "the progressive stabilization of sales volumes". Sales in the Île-de-France region have actually gone beyond stabilizing, growing by 11% from December 2024 to February 2025. The increase is more substantial for houses (+16%) than for apartments (+9%). In Paris, where sales picked up earlier, they continue to grow at a 5% rate.
"Improving family budgets are starting to make a difference and translate to actual sales figures," the notaries state. Mortgage rates, which skyrocketed to exceed 4% in the fall of 2023, have since dropped back to approximately 3%. For a 20-year loan, the average rate now stands at 3.20%, as per Vousfinancer broker.

"Housing affordability will remain critical for families", warning the notaries. This is due to "upcoming price hikes"`" and the increase in registration duties on property transfers, commonly referred to as "notary fees", which "impacts all Île-de-France departments, except for Val-d'Oise, and is gradually coming into effect"*, remind the notaries.
Departmental jurisdictions can lift the notary fees by 0.5%, as allowed by the 2025 finance law, effective from April 1. Paris has already increased them as of April 1, paving the way. For a purchase valuing 300,000 euros, this increase in notary fees amounts to an additional 1,500 euros in DMTO, as calculated by Nathalie Couzigou-Suhas, a notary in Paris. Her colleagues in Greater Paris hope that the recent decrease in BCE (European Central Bank) key interest rates will lead to a fresh wave of easing in housing credit rates, boosting business activity.
