Buying in Paris
at the right price

Buying an apartment in Paris takes method. From one arrondissement to another, the median price ranges from €8,100 to €14,629 per m² (DVF sales, first half of 2026), and two neighbouring apartments can be worth very different prices depending on the floor, the light or the condition of the building.

Since 2004, METROREALTY has guided buyers across Paris: a first studio, a family apartment, a pied-à-terre, a buy-to-let or a purchase from abroad. We define the project with you, we search, including among properties not yet listed, and we check every price against comparable sales before any offer.

To get a sense of the market, browse our properties for sale and prices by arrondissement; for a rental purchase, our guide to investing in Paris. Every step of the purchase is explained in our buyer's guide.

Our method

Your purchase in 5 steps

Structured support, from defining the project to handing over the keys.

01
Defining the project

Budget, neighbourhoods, property type, timing, financing: we frame your search together. The more precise the brief, the sharper the selection.

02
Targeted search

Market watch, properties from our portfolio and properties shown before they are publicly listed. You receive opportunities pre-selected against your criteria.

03
Accompanied viewings

Your advisor visits with you, reads the building, the co-ownership and the real condition of the property, and compares the price with DVF sales in the street and the building.

04
Offer & negotiation

We prepare a reasoned offer and negotiate within your budget, backed by a financing certificate.

05
Preliminary contract & deed

Coordination with the notary and the bank, review of the surveys and co-ownership documents, follow-up by your advisor until the keys are handed over.

Everything you need to know about buying in Paris

Based on a personalised search mandate, we define with you the budget, neighbourhoods, property type and timing, then we activate our network, including unlisted properties, and send you every opportunity pre-selected against your criteria. One advisor supports you from the first viewings to the signing of the deed.

Our fees are paid by the buyer and calculated on the net seller price. The rates, including VAT, decrease with the price: a flat €4,000 below €40,000, 10% from €41,000 to €100,000, 8% from €100,001 to €200,000, 7% from €200,001 to €350,000, 6% from €350,001 to €800,000, 5% above, without cumulating brackets. They are included in the price shown in each listing and in our fee schedule.

According to DVF sales for the first half of 2026, the median price of an apartment in Paris is €9,788 per m², from €8,100 per m² in the 19th to €14,629 per m² in the 6th. Notary fees of around 7 to 8% for older properties come on top. We calibrate your search to your actual budget and check every price against comparable sales in the street and the building.

Yes. We arrange video viewings and 3D virtual tours, send you a detailed report on every pre-selected property, and the signing can be done by notarised power of attorney. We work in French, English, Dutch, Spanish and German.

Yes. Some of the properties we sell are first shown, or only shown, to buyers we know, without a public listing. By entrusting us with your search, you can view them before they are listed.

Once the offer is accepted, the preliminary contract (compromis or promesse de vente) is signed with the notary; the buyer then has a 10-day cooling-off period. The final deed usually follows two to three months later, the time needed to secure the loan and gather the co-ownership documents.
