Paris apartment prices up 12% since 2009

According to French Estate Agents MeilleursAgents.com the price of apartments for sale in Paris has increased by 12% year on year to the 1st May 2010.

The average price per square metre is for a Paris apartment is now 6730€, which in itself reveals an increase of 2.1% between 31 March 2010 and 30 April 2010.

The reasons for this increase are set out by property experts Immobilier-danger.com as being fourfold: Low Interest rates; safer investment that the volatile stock market; few properties on the market; and, as ever, location location location.

This property price increase is not mirrored throughout France as a whole, as French property prices generally have not increased dramatically. However, Paris and the classic desirable locations seem to be weather the storm, and remain as popular and as expensive as ever.
