Abstract

At the end of 2019, non residents owned 1.5% of residential real estate in France, up from 1% in 2001. The value of their real estate assets amounted to EUR 125 billion, four times more than in the early 2000s. Half of this increase can be explained by the growth in the amount of surface area owned, and half by the rise in prices. 42% of non residents who hold residential real estate assets were born in France and are therefore most likely expatriates. Younger than ten years ago, they have accounted for nearly 60% of the growth in these investments over the past decade. This development contributes to the diversification of the origin and location of non residents’ real estate investments. In Paris, non residents own properties primarily in touristic or affluent neighbourhoods. For similar housing characteristics, non residents conduct real estate transactions at prices that are not very different from those of residents. Fin 2019, les non-résidents détiennent 1,5 % de la surface immobilière résidentielle en France, contre 1 % en 2001. La valeur de leurs actifs immobiliers s’élève à 125 milliards d’euros, soit quatre fois plus qu’au début des années 2000. Cette augmentation s’explique pour moitié par l’accroissement des surfaces détenues, et pour moitié par la hausse des prix. 42 % des non-résidents détenteurs d’immobilier résidentiel sont nés en France, et donc très vraisemblablement expatriés. Plus jeunes qu’il y a dix ans, ils contribuent à près de 60 % de la progression de ces investissements sur les dix dernières années. Cette évolution participe à la diversification de la provenance et de la localisation des investissements immobiliers des non-résidents. À Paris, les non-résidents détiennent des logements principalement localisés dans les quartiers touristiques ou aisés. À caractéristiques des logements données, les non-résidents y réalisent des transactions immobilières à des prix peu différents des résidents.
