The investment model has vaccinated and it is no longer a simple warning. The numbers actually confirm a deep decline. Stone, formerly a pillar of French heritage strategies, loses its great. The rental market will dry up, tax systems will disappear and the regulations are tightened. Many investors in the face of this climate look further and explore other horizons. This move is discreet, but structuring: the rental of real estate is no longer obvious. Is there now a future to place the inheritance outside the walls on several digital terrains?
In short
- The investment market in France experienced significant dissatisfaction in 2025 with a significant decrease in rental offers.
- Several economic factors weaken rental profit: increase interest rates, end of the pinel system and the outbreak of property taxes.
- The control framework is increasingly restrictive, especially with rental closures in tense areas.
- The Law Le Meur, described as “Anti-A-Airbnb”, strengthens the restriction of tourist furniture and limits the freedom of exploitation of donors.
Tax and structurally weakened model
The French lease market shows clear signs of dissatisfaction. Between October 2023 and October 2024 the number of accommodation ads for rent fell by 8.6 % at the national level. Some cities are particularly affected: Strasburg has a decline of 29.6 %, Montpellier by 15.3 %.
This decrease in the number of investment in rent can explain several reasons. Investors will turn away from the market that has become unstable, unpredictable and less and less profitable.
The loss of rent of rent is explained by the merger of economic and tax factors that strongly weigh the profitability of real estate:
- Increase in interest rates increases the cost of loans and mechanically reduces investors’ span;
- End of Pinel system in new on 1er January 2025, without any replacement motivational measure has been announced so far;
- According to the National Union of Real Estate Owners in 2024, on average +5 % on average +5 % with peaks recorded in certain cities: +22 % in nice, +18.5 % in Saint-Etienne, +13.7 % in Nancy;
- General uncertainty about the development of local taxation, which slows down medium arbitration proceedings.
These parameters mechanically weaken the attraction of rent in France, traditionally perceived as a pillar of safe heritage. It seems that this pillar has been vaccinated today, eroding with increasingly restrictive operating conditions.
Caps, Airbnb restriction: Regulatory zero
In addition to tax and economic considerations, the regulatory framework for donors has also become more restrictive, especially in so -called tensioning areas. In some agglomerations of rent roste, they could also participate in this dynamics of slipping investment in rent.
This mechanism, which limits the increase in rent between two tenants, directly affects the prospects of rent performance. For investors, especially institutional, this measure is another uncertainty in the projection of future income.
However, probably in the tourist furniture segment, long considered a profitable refuge, the regulatory wound is the most symbolic. Entry into force of the law, qualified as a law “Anti-Airbnb”Now it allows the mayors to frame these rent much more strictly, or even ban them in France.
This text also gives the condoms more power to stand against it. As a result, a growing number of investors is imprisoned because they do not know whether they can freely dispose of their assets. This accumulation of restrictions causes the loss of confidence in the strength of the regulatory framework for French properties.
The medium -term impact could be significant. In the face of these restrictions, more and more savings and investors are beginning to explore other assets, more flexible, more liquid and potentially more advantageous. The industries, such as Kryptos or decentralized finances, certainly more volatile, but often perceived as dynamic, get the land in the wallet. If this trend continues, France could experience a deep redefine of the inheritance strategies, where Stone would no longer be a basic base, but among other things.
