Housing in France: sluggish market, rents and electoral issue
On October 29, 2026, polls published by franceinfo-Le Figaro Immobilier indicate that a majority of French people prefer to renovate their home rather than buy new, in a market slowed by tighter credit and high prices. The same day, housing and thermal comfort are judged important by 43% of those polled with a view to the 2027 presidential election, while the debate on rent control is based on European examples. Early November, the rent reference index rises again and local situations illustrate market difficulties in Lyon, the Rhône, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Nantes and Corsica. On November 3, the economic affairs committee of the National Assembly examines a socialist bill aimed at extending the rent control experiment.
