The high-end and luxury residential market in Paris and its outskirts
A review of 2022 and looking forward
The luxury real estate market in the capital has not mirrored - at all - the downturn observed in transactions at prices below 1 million euro resulting from the economic, financial or geopolitical context.The war in Ukraine, the increase in rates and instability in the equity market seem, in fact, to have had little or no impact on the luxury real estate bracket.This contrast between the top-end and the rest of the market has been observed during other crises in the past.
