Despite almost three years of a real estate crisis caused by the outbreak of credit rates, “Prices have not dropped so much as that”observes Charles Marinakis, president of the network of Century 21 France agencies, during a conjuncture point this Monday, June 30. The prices of old housing have indeed decreased by only 4% on the whole territory, since the first half of 2022, within the Century 21 network. A decline which is already finished, the drop in credit rates for a year and a half having given a little purchasing power to buyers. This is evidenced by Price stabilization Houses like apartments in the first half of 2025, up only 0.2% and 0.6% over one year, respectively 2,496 and 4,153 euros per square meter.

But these national averages maskimportant local disparities. Four regions have been accusing price falls almost twice higher than 4%since 2022. Starting with Center-Val-de-Loire, where prices have dropped 9.4% for three years. Undoubtedly because they had considerably mounted in the wake of the confinements imposed by the health crisis, which had given a number of Ile -de -de -France residents of the desires of houses with gardens. “Chartres had become the 21st arrondissement of Paris”smiles another boss from a large network of real estate agencies. Unlike the stagnation observed at the national level, this downward trend continues in the region, with a decline of 1.2% in the first half of 2025, at 1,775 euros per square meter. “”1,775 euros per square meter…, Repeats Charles Marinakis. It is really not very high, and even less opposite Paris! ”

Significant price drop in Paris

Paris where the average price of the square meter nevertheless tumbled 9.4% in the space of three years, at 9,503 euros per square meter. From the historic peak at almost 11,000 euros per square meter in the first half of 2020, at the very beginning of the COVVI-19 epidemic, the dive even reaches 12%. “It is a lot, it is the highest decline in all French cities, I do not remember having already observed such a dropout in Paris»»insists Charles Marinakis. Admittedly, prices in the capital have already started up the first half (+1.5%) but the boss of Century 21 France urges candidates for ownership to focus on their “Significant drop” For three years. A drop that applies to the whole of theIle-de-Francewhere prices have dropped 7.5% since the first half of 2022, despite their rise of 1.2% since January 1, 2025.

“I do not think there are regions still having a large potential for lower prices”estimates Charles Marinakis. Maybe them Pays-de-la-Loire, which, like the Center-Val-de-Loirehave still seen their prices weaken – very slightly, 0.3% – in the first half of 2025, thus accusing a dive of 7.2% for three years. But, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpesthe prices have already started to increase (+0.7%) over the first six months of the year, after collapsing by more than 8% since 2022.

Today, if you are not at the market price, you do not sell! ” And Charles Marinakis to warn Parisian sellers: “If prices are increasing by more than 3% this year in Paris, You will lose customers from first-time buyersfinally back to the first semester ”.
