The government is preparing an emergency plan to pull the housing sector out of the crisis

The housing sector is experiencing a profound crisis that the government can no longer ignore. Described as a "social time bomb that cannot wait until the 2027 presidential election" by Housing Minister Vincent Jeanbrun, the situation demands swift action to unblock a stalled real estate market. The government is therefore preparing a range of measures designed to revive construction and facilitate access to homeownership.

Multiple levers for action

The authorities intend to act on several fronts simultaneously. New construction, energy-efficient renovations, access to credit, and housing taxation are among the priority areas for intervention. The stated objective remains to restore confidence among stakeholders in the sector while addressing the expectations of French citizens facing high prices and prohibitive interest rates.

A schedule constrained by the urgency

The social emergency demands swift action. Between housing shortages in high-demand areas, a sharp slowdown in transactions, and increasing difficulties for first-time buyers, the political calendar no longer allows for delay. The government is relying on a comprehensive approach to halt a downward spiral that threatens the stability of the French housing market.
