Buoyed by this favorable climate, Junot recorded a remarkable increase of +69% in the cumulative value of transactions over the first quarter of 2025. The residential neighborhoods in which the market slowed the most in 2024 are those currently recording the most spectacular increases: +145% for the 8^th, 16^th, and 17^th arrondissements, +132% for Neuilly.

But the recovery is confirmed everywhere at Junot: 56% in the 10^th, 62% in the 18^th, 78% in the 7^th, 64% in Lille and 83% in Yvelines and Hauts-de-Seine (excluding Neuilly). And even the arrondissements that had suffered a very moderate drop in transactions, notably thanks to international customers - such as the Left Bank and the Marais - also saw significant growth: 18% in the 5^th, 6^th and 14^th, 31% in the 9^th, 35% in the Marais.

A market that has adapted: the “mithridatization” of buyers

For Sébastien Kuperfis, President of Junot, one word can shed light on this dynamic: "mithridatization." According to legend, King Mithridates VI protected himself from poisons by ingesting very small doses every day. This is what is called mithridatization.
Similarly, real estate project leaders seem to have become accustomed to political, economic, and geopolitical uncertainties. Rather than remaining static, they choose to act, to bring their projects to fruition, without waiting for perfect days; helped by easier and cheaper access to credit.

Paris 8^th – Saint-Augustin

Paris, safe haven for international investors

In an uncertain global context, Parisian real estate is establishing itself as a tangible and rare asset for international investors seeking to protect themselves from currency fluctuations. Purchasing a beautiful Parisian apartment – with a 100% loan, financed back-to-back, in-kind, and in multiple currencies – meets this objective. This should further boost the segment of apartments and private mansions meeting international luxury standards.

According to Nicolas Pettex-Muffat, Managing Director of Junot, "The Parisian market is a market of shortages, and real estate remains a safe bet. I'd bet more on an apartment in Paris than in New York right now.".

An exclusive partner of the Knight Frank group, with its Junot Fine Properties entity, specifically dedicated to supporting international clients, and a member of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, Junot assists foreign buyers with their acquisition projects in Paris.

- Acquisition of the Victoire Properties group in Brussels, strengthening its international network.

- Launch of Junot Châteaux & Patrimoine, a new offering dedicated to historic properties and exceptional properties.
