Real Estate 2025: A New Dynamic on the French Riviera

The real estate market in 2025 is regaining momentum, especially on the French Riviera and in Cannes.

Good news for buyers and investors:

  • 📉 Competitive mortgage rates: between 3.11% and 3.56% over 25 years, depending on profiles and regions. The best applications can aim for around 3.15%.

  • 📈 FNAIM forecast: a strong market recovery with +11% in sales, reaching nearly 940,000 transactions in France in 2025.

  • 🌴 Riviera market: in Cannes, apartment prices are still rising, up +2.2%, with an average of €5,951/m², especially for luxury properties.

Since January 2025energy-inefficient homes (class G) are banned from rental: a challenge for owners, but also an opportunity for buyers looking to renovate and increase value.

⏳ In Cannes, the average selling time has extended to 93 days, reflecting a more thoughtful yet still active market.

✨ My take: 2025 will be a turning point for real estate: more accessible financing, mandatory energy transition, and an unchanged appeal of the French Riviera. The right time to buy, invest, or renovate.
