As a long-term investment, Paris property is low risk and has always appreciated steadily. Give or take a small bubble bursting in the mid-1980s and late 1990s, it’s not a speculative market. Property prices for the city as a whole rose a healthy 8.7% in 2007—good enough to attract hard-nosed investors and romantics.
Paris is a city of dreams. Nowhere else in the world exerts the same charm or attracts as many visitors. Every year more than 80 million tourists come to tread the well-worn cobbles by the Louvre, browse the booksellers’ wares on the banks of the Seine, or get dazzled by the Eiffel Tower at night. With unique selling points such as these, Paris property will always hold its value.

This would be a great deal as it stands, but for the icing on the cake, you also get a guaranteed rental income for at least the first nine years of ownership.

In today’s investment markets, a sure thing is hard to come by. In 10 years of investing in and scouting non-U.S. real estate markets, I’ve discovered something that comes close just once. And the phone call I had with a contact in Paris last night convinced me that this strategy remains the closest you’ll get to a sure thing in the international real estate investing game.

Basement bargains are thinner on the ground these days in Paris, but you can still find properties for less than €100,000 (about $150,000) —just don’t dream of anything spacious with a view of the Eiffel Tower or the Seine.
Paris properties are still reasonable compared with similar homes in London, Zürich, or Rome, but prices have not stood still.
