Junot is experiencing a 58% growth in its activity in 2025
The luxury real estate market is dynamic, with prices down compared to 2022, but sales volume are growing at Junot. France, and Paris in particular, has strong global appeal and represents a safe haven for international buyers. Domestic clients have adapted; they are taking action and realizing their projects by taking advantage of accessible credit and adjusted prices.
Fully renovated apartment with a spacious reception area, just steps from the Place de l'Étoile and the prestigious Avenue des Champs-Élysées. For sale: €5,500,000.
This performance confirms the solid recovery of the Parisian high-end market, supported by strong demand for family properties.
Faced with economic and political uncertainties, domestic buyers have adapted: they are taking action, realizing their plans, benefiting from accessible credit and now stabilized prices.
However, they are becoming more selective and thoughtful. Buyers are taking the time to consider their plans, visit properties, and compare options before making a purchase. This market evolution is not hindering activity. It simply makes the search a little longer.
The average size of properties sold is increasing: for example, the number of sales of apartments or houses with 4 rooms or more is increasing proportionally by 16% in our agencies. This trend is probably reinforced by changes in lifestyles related to remote work. The need for a dedicated room, outdoor spaces, or a quieter environment leads buyers to look for higher-quality properties and sometimes to wait for the perfect one.
Parisians are no longer simply buying an apartment: they are looking for a living space that adapts to a more hybrid lifestyle, between professional and personal life,” emphasizes Sébastien Kuperfis, President of Junot.

A market more fitted
While buyers are taking their time, negotiations are tightening. After several quarters of valuation correction, the price readjustment has given buyers more purchasing power: the cumulative 12% drop in nominal prices since the 2022 peak is compounded by monetary erosion due to inflation, bringing the real price decrease to around 20%.
It's no wonder that the number of new searches is constantly increasing... and that the average difference between the asking price and the final sale price is now only 3%. Buyers and sellers now share a more realistic view of the market, fostering a better alignment between supply and demand.

Paris, a safe haven foreign buyers
In an uncertain global context, Parisian real estate is emerging as a safe haven for international buyers seeking an exceptional pied-à-terre. The acquisition of luxury properties by non-residents often involves structured transactions, with 100% financing, back-to-back loans, bullet loans, and multi-currency options. A good way for a wealthy foreigner to protect themselves against potential fluctuations in the value of currencies.
At Junot, 20% of sales between €1 million and €3 million involve a foreign buyer, a proportion that rises to 40% for transactions involving higher amounts. And the decline in the value of the dollar against the euro has, for the moment, had little impact on the attractiveness of Paris real estate in the eyes of these buyers.
