Prestige Arrondissements Portfolio.7th, 8th, 16th — codes, prices, off-market inventory.

The Paris prestige real estate market does not unfold on public portals. It circulates between three arrondissements and a restricted circle of confidential agencies. Here is the house's reading.

I · The Market

Three arrondissements, three clienteles.

The 7th, 8th and 16th arrondissements concentrate the majority of residential transactions above fifteen thousand euros per square metre. Each arrondissement responds to a distinct clientele.

The 7th attracts diplomats, institutional families and buyers seeking reception apartments near the embassies. The 8th remains the quarter of international founders, family offices and prestige second residences. The 16th — particularly Passy, Trocadéro and Auteuil — remains the structural choice of international families with school-age children.

Prices per square metre range from fifteen thousand to over forty thousand euros depending on address, floor, view and the presence of a balcony, courtyard or parking space. Record transactions now exceed fifty-five thousand euros per square metre in the Golden Triangle.

Our role is to read these nuances before they become visible on the public market. More than seventy percent of prestige properties sell without publication.
