Housing in France: a fragile real estate market and a political issue

At the end of October 2026, a poll indicated that housing and thermal comfort are among the important themes for voters in 2027, while prices for new homes have fallen over six months despite a scarce supply. The president of Particulier à Particulier criticized the lack of long-term housing policy, and rising credit rates are slowing first-time buyers. In early November, the reference rent index resumed its upward trend; local examples in Lyon, Rhône, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Nantes, Corsica, and Hauts-de-France illustrate a fragile market, with falling prices, a sharp drop in new home sales, and complicated transactions. The Economic Affairs Committee of the National Assembly is examining a socialist bill proposal to extend rent controls, as polls show housing has become a priority and a voting criterion for 2027. On November 5, the rise in mortgage interest rates, close to 4%, weighed on the market.

Centre

Right

Highlights Ipsos BVA poll results: 81% favorable to tax relief for landlords, preference for renovation over new builds, and the weight of housing as a major concern influencing the vote.
