Outside of Paris, the situation looks much more heterogeneous. As reported by Prian, in 2025, the secondary housing market in France is divided into regions where prices are noticeably rising, and territories where the decline continues.
Strongest added in the price of Metz (+9.9%) and Mulhouse (+9.1%) – two cities in the east of the country, which became the leaders of growth. They are followed by Bourges (+7.8%), Orleans (+6.7%) and Amiens (+6%). These cities are seeing steady demand for relatively affordable housing, which is pushing prices up.
As for the decline in prices, the most noticeable was Poitiers – minus 5.6%. Small decreases were also noted in St. Etienne, Reims, Besançon, Lille, Nancy and Nantes. This shows that the market remains sensitive to the local economy and buying activity.
Against this price gap, there remains a stable hierarchy of expensive markets. After Paris come Nice (about 5,100 euros per square meter), Lyon (about 4,700 euros), South Corsica (about 4,400 euros), as well as Bordeaux and Bayonne – about 4,300 euros per square meter.
At the other pole are the cities with the most affordable real estate. In Saint-Etienne, the average price is about 1170 euros per square meter in Mulhouse -1410 euros, in Limoges -1500 euros, in Bourges – about 1640 euros.
Thus, the year 2025 for French secondary real estate was marked by a growing gap: Paris and the south of the country keep high prices, while some regional markets are either growing moderately or lowering the bar.
