Real Estate Market Sees Significant Price Surge in 2025
October 4, 2025 | By Archyde.com
After several years of steady declines, the real estate market is finally showing signs of recovery, resuming its upward trajectory in early 2025. According to the latest reports from real estate professionals, this trend is particularly pronounced in the market for older homes, with prices rising by 2% for houses and 0.6% for apartments over the past year.
Historic Homes Lead the Price Rebound
The resurgence in real estate is largely attributable to households that are selling one property to purchase another. These households, often owning quality homes, have been waiting for a better market context before listing their properties. The demand for houses is notably strong.
First-Time Buyers Struggling in Old Market
The price increase in historical apartments, though less significant, is still notable. First-time buyers, however, continue to face challenges. Despite improved credit conditions, the escalating prices of these properties make it difficult for them to achieve their homeownership goals.
New Market Trends
In the new construction market, the trends are more mixed. New houses have seen a surge in demand, contributing to a 2.6% increase in prices over the past three months. This is largely due to the extension of the zero-rate loan (PTZ) for new homes nationwide, which provides significant assistance to first-time buyers.
Contrarily, new apartment prices continue to decline, with a 1.5% drop over the past year.
Regional Differences
The increase in real estate prices is more substantial in provincial areas than in Paris, especially in cities with over 40,000 inhabitants. Two-digit price increases have been recorded in cities such as Angoulême, Gap, Bayonne, and Arles. This trend predominantly impacts the older home market.
Negotiation Trends
A notable trend is the increase in negotiations, particularly for highly sought-after properties that offer ample space and comfort. This reflects a shift in buying behavior, with buyers becoming more discerning in their choices.
For those looking to invest in real estate or assess their options, this dynamic market offers both opportunities and challenges. Stay tuned to Archyde.com for the latest in real estate news and expert insights to navigate the ever-evolving market effectively.
