Real estate in Paris is perhaps the only major economic sector in the entirety of France that has not suffered substantially from the international financial crisis, the Euro crisis or the recent recession. Even while the rest of the French real estate prices plummet, apparently the Champs Elysees is crash proof. Apartment and flat rental prices in Paris dwarf those found in other cities around the country, so while the financial earning capabilities of the average French citizen have taken serious hits: unemployment is up, revenues are down – the Champs Elysees just keeps right on driving onward and upward as it always has. Do not expect to see any of the local sites including luxurious fashion shops, artsy cafes, or historic monuments to lose any of their shine in“ The City of Light”.

The Price of 1 square meter in Paris reaches 8,530 euro
The growth rate in the French real estate sector reached 4.4 % last year, but it was mostly due to the continued allure living and working in one of the most famously loved cities in the world, Paris. Real estate prices in Paris and its suburbs increased to reach
8,585 Euro per meter in 2012, which set a record according to the Union of Notaries. And while at the beginning of 2013, for the first time since 15 years, the prices of apartments fell to 8,530 Euro per meter, this drop is not sizable enough to save the long time residents that are being pinched out of their own backyards by foreigners with fatter pockets.

Many reasons, but the result remains the same
Such prohibitive prices are due largely to the attraction of foreigners to the French Capital. It has reached a point where foreigners are making 46 % of the real estate deals in Paris. Arabs, Italians, Brits, and Americans are starting to outnumber the locals in some of the upscale areas of the city, such as Le Marais. Another factor that has led to continually high real estate prices in central Paris is the practice of owners who deliberately sell their homes at inflated prices just so they can buy another residence outside the capital. Due to the vast gap in real estate prices between Paris and the rest of the country, some residents feel like this is a perfect time to leave.
