Investing in Paris, France

Written by Real Paris
Investing in Paris - Why invest in Paris

Why invest in Paris, France?

Tourism in Paris

Paris is the most visited city on the planet. It receives 45 million visitors per year of which 27 million are foreign. Many come to visit back again and again. Paris is a city that hasn't recently become famous and whose success and reputation is built on short term speculation. This is an historic city, rich in culture, beautiful architecture, magnificent avenues, chic boutiques, charming cafés and outstanding restaurants. We could go on, but you get the idea. This city has a fascinating past and a positive future. It attracts people from far and wide and will probably continue to do so for centuries.

Paris property prices compared to those of other important cities

Paris property prices are currently below the average prices of other capital or important cities. For example, Rome, London, New York and Tokyo all have higher average prices than the French capital. Taking advantage of this before prices shoot up to the same levels as other major and capital cities means important capital gains can be made through the long term appreciation.

Paris is being renovated

Paris is currently undergoing something of a renovation itself. The city has historically had districts reknowned for their run down streets, squats and dark alleys where no one should be at night. However, from the centre outwards, slowly but surely, the city is investing in converting less privileged districts into safer and more pleasant areas for residents and visitors. Squats are slowly being converted into affordable housing, streets are being paved, pedestrianised and are lit up adequately. As rents and property prices increase, people are finding it harder to maintain the standard of living they are used to and are moving to the more affordable but less interesting suburbs. The ongoing renovation of Paris is likely to see property prices in the city rise to very high levels and the suburbs becoming more fashionable with younger populations in the near future. The centre of Paris will have a very good and safe standard of living and very high prices for real estate.

The future of Paris

Paris is investing in going green. The mayor Bertrand Delanouë is enthused with transforming it into an environmentally friendly city: the new velib automatic bicycle rental service is a perfect example of this. Following the introduction of velib, bike lanes have been created all over Paris, making it very convenient and healthy to travel short distances.

Automobiles are slowly finding it more and more difficult to drive due to the narrowing of the roads and the ever ready traffic wardens ready to slap an expensive ticket or a fine on any minor encroachment. Public transport is highly efficient and well financed, making it one of the best in the world. Tramlines are being developed and are greatly increasing the value of any property nearby. Plans have been made to introduce charging stations for electric cars everywhere by 2015.

Paris also has a plan to introduce an innovative car hire system named autolib which will reduce traffic in the city. As street after street is pedestrianised, we can envisage a future of a calm and wonderful city with paved streets, clean buildings, near silent electric cars, electric buses and tramways and bikes. We can safely say that France has caught up with and is even overtaking some of its environmentally friendly neighbouring countries.

Paris is heading towards a future free from the pollution and noise that afflicts many cities and as such, the value of real estate is likely to increase together with the quality of life. In our opinion, now is the best possible time to invest in Paris before the transformation is complete and prices become as high as those of London or New York.

Why invest?

Investing in real estate in Paris will not make an overnight multi-millionaire of you like it could in certain parts of the world. It is however, a market which is protected from the highs and lows which are associated with other countries and regions such as Florida to cite an example.

If you're looking for long term solid appreciation and reasonable rental returns it's an excellent city to invest in. Not to mention, you'll be able to come back to visit your charming apartment whenever you like to experience the joys of Parisian life.
