In Île-de-France, the rise of prices of second-hand dwellings pursued

In Q4 2017, the prices of second-hand dwellings in Île-de-France continued to rise: +1.1% compared to Q3 2017, after +1.4%.

Year–on–year, the rise of prices reached +5.1%, after +4.6% in Q3 2017 and +3.9% in Q2 2017. This acceleration continued to come from a more accentuate rise in the prices of flats (+5.9% over the year), especially for the flats in Paris which increased by 8.6% in one year. Yet, the rise in the prices of houses in Île-de-France also amplified (+3.3% after +2.5%).

In provincial France, prices of second-hand dwellings also increased

In Q4 2017, the rise of prices of second-hand dwelling in provincial France increased by 1.0% compared to the previous quarter.

An annual volume of transactions still increasing

In Q4 2017, the annual transaction volume continued to grow: in December, the number of transactions carried out over the last twelve months reached a new historical peak (968,000). This volume of transactions was thus higher than the one recorded one quarter earlier (951,000 in September 2017). Compared to the stock of available housing, which increases by around 1% per year, the proportion of transactions became equivalent to what was observed in the early 2000.
