How long does it take to sell an apartment in Paris in 2025 — and how can you genuinely speed up the sale?
Selling in Paris has always been a question of rhythm: the rhythm of viewings, offers, love-at-first-sight moments… and sometimes patience. In 2025 the market is changing: more selective than before, yet able to move very quickly when a property is properly prepared. So how long does it really take to sell today? And above all, which levers make for a quick sale at the right price?
Here is a clear overview, based on 2025 data from the Notaires du Grand Paris (the Paris-region notaries’ association) and the main market observatories.
Selling times in Paris in 2025: what you need to know
A more fluid market than in 2023–2024.
In 2025 the market has stabilised and sales volumes are rising again.
The average time to sell an apartment in Paris is 60 to 75 days, depending on the neighbourhood and the type of property.
Well-located or renovated properties, or those with a signature feature (outdoor space, top floor, view), often sell within 10 to 30 days.
Very different timeframes depending on the type of property:
• Studios / one-bedroom apartments (2 pièces): 20 to 40 days
• Two-bedroom family apartments (3 pièces): 60 to 75 days
• Large apartments (80 m²+): 75 to 120 days
Price: the decisive factor. Properties listed 5% above market value take twice as long to sell. Conversely, the right price generates 3× more viewings in the first 10 days.
How to sell faster in 2025: the strategies that really work
1. Prepare the property before putting it on the market.
Buyers want an apartment that is ready to move into, or easy to picture themselves in.
The most effective actions: minor repairs, pared-back furnishings, professional photography.
→ A well-prepared apartment cuts the time to sell by 20 to 30%.
2. Invest in a high-end photo shoot.
In 2025, 90% of property searches begin online.
Beautiful photos generate up to 5× more clicks, according to SeLoger, a leading French property portal.
3. Set the right price from the outset.
Using notarial data and recent sales in the neighbourhood, we establish a realistic price range
to trigger the “peak of interest in the first 10 days”.
4. Make a powerful launch on day one.
Listing on the major property portals, our network of buyers, featured promotion during the first week,
clear listing copy, careful screening of enquiries…
→ This sequence has a direct impact on how quickly the property sells.
5. Rely on a rigorous agent.
The 2025 market is technical and hyper-local.
An agent analyses buyer profiles, notarial reference sales, the strengths and weaknesses of the street,
and the co-ownership factors that affect the time to sell.
In short: how long does it take to sell in Paris in 2025?
• 60 to 75 days on average
• Under 30 days for a well-positioned property
• Over 3 months if the property is overpriced
The difference? The quality of the preparation and a consistent asking price.
