Towards the end of seasonal rentals in Ile-de-France?

Due to the coronavirus, these are down due to the decrease in the number of tourists in the region: 17 million in 2020 against more than 50 million in 2019. Lessors have stopped these rentals to return to long-term leases .

Paris has also just been doubled by the Var department in terms of the number of reservations, underlines

.

Even if the number of rentals fell in inner Paris from the year 2017 (a peak of 88,500 housing units had been reached) with development in the departments of La Petite Couronne and La Grande (from 24,000 homes in 2016 to 41,000 in 2019), according to Emmanuel Trouillard, geographer and author of the study by the Institut Paris Région (IPR)

Seasonal rentals in Île-de-France

, “the capital has the most seasonal rentals and rentals in the region. the year with two thirds of announcements ”.

In 2019, there are more than 120,000 rentals in Ile-de-France, "more than 1,100 Ile-de-France municipalities are affected by at least one advertisement for this type of accommodation," said the study.

29% of rentals are year round.

New levers of development

Among the areas for continuing to develop the seasonal rental offer in the region, platforms such as Airbnb are counting on the Grand Paris express. "By relying on transport, the spatial distribution of rentals should continue or even accelerate in Ile-de-France," said Vincent Gollain, director of the Economics division of the IPR. This will make it possible to distribute visitors in the Ile-de-France region and therefore the benefits in terms of tourist consumption. The birth of “non-tourist attractors” such as the Paris-Saclay university research center is also a development lever for the platforms because “students and teachers will need a housing offer over several months”.

Vacation rental companies hope to return to their pre-health crisis level or even exceed it by 2023, with the Olympic Games to be held in Paris in 2024 and the reopening of tourist sites.

However, “the expectations, priorities and behaviors of visitors” could be changed with the health crisis.
