New in Paris: Discover the Engel & Völkers Real Estate Gazette

A More Selective Property Market

Following the improvement seen in 2025, the French property market is once again operating in a more demanding environment. Financing conditions, economic uncertainty and increasingly precise buyer expectations are widening the gap between properties that are correctly positioned and those whose asking price no longer reflects market reality.

In Paris, this selectivity is even more apparent. The address, street, floor, natural light, condition of the property and quality of its features can result in significant differences in value within the same arrondissement. The Gazette analyses these micro-markets and presents several price ranges provided by Engel & Völkers agencies across a selection of Parisian areas.

The Art of Accurately Valuing a Property

A property valuation cannot be reduced to an average price per square metre. It relies on precise knowledge of the neighbourhood, an analysis of comparable properties and consideration of the specific characteristics of each property.

In this first issue, our experts explain why an accurate valuation is the starting point for a successful sale. Realistic pricing helps attract qualified buyers, limit excessive negotiations and prevent a property from remaining unnecessarily long on the market.

Selling a Tenanted Property: What Rules and Strategy Should You Consider?

Selling a rented property requires specific preparation. Should you sell the property with the tenant in place or wait until the lease ends? Which type of buyer should you target? How should viewings be organised, and how should rental yield be taken into account when valuing the property?

The Gazette outlines the key factors to anticipate in order to secure the transaction and choose a strategy suited to the owner’s situation, the tenancy agreement and the profile of the buyers being targeted.

Buying a Property in Need of Renovation: Opportunity or False Good Idea?

In a city where the supply of new housing remains limited, buying an apartment in need of renovation can represent a genuine opportunity. It allows you to rethink the layout, personalise the property and, in some cases, increase its value.

However, a renovation project requires a thorough assessment of the budget, the condition of the building, condominium restrictions and the property’s energy performance. Our experts highlight the key points to check before committing and the precautions needed to avoid unpleasant surprises.
