France Property Sales — Official DVF Prices and €/m²

Real sale prices for French property, from DVF (Demandes de Valeurs Foncières) — the open dataset the French tax administration publishes for every registered property transfer.

Not asking prices. What buyers actually paid, as recorded by the land registry, with price per square metre computed correctly.

Coverage

Geography	All 97 departments — mainland, Corsica (2A/2B), overseas (971-974)
Years	2021 to 2025
Granularity	Department, commune (INSEE code), or postcode prefix
Per sale	Price, €/m², surface, rooms, address, postcode, coordinates
Statistics	Median and quartile €/m² by commune, quarter and property type

The correctness problem this Actor solves

DVF publishes one row per lot, not per sale. A single transaction repeats its full price on every row it touches. In Paris for 2024, 55% of transactions span more than one row, and one building sale spanned 769 rows all carrying the same €21,606,678.

Add the raw rows up and you get €279.6 billion where the real total is €25.5 billion — a 996% overstatement. On top of that, 10.6% of rows are exact duplicates of another row in the same transaction, so naive surface totals are inflated too.

This Actor never emits raw rows. It groups by transaction, drops duplicate lots, sums only genuine living space, and returns one row per actual sale. Everything downstream — every €/m², every median — is computed on that corrected basis.

A sanity check you can verify yourself: run statistics mode on Paris and the most expensive arrondissements come out 6e, 1er, 7e, 8e, 4e, at roughly €12,500-13,850/m². That is the real ranking of the Paris market.

Output

transactions — one row per sale.

Field reference

Field	Meaning
mutationId	DVF's transaction identifier — one per sale, after deduplication
price	Total transaction value in EUR (valeur_fonciere), counted once
pricePerSqm	Price ÷ habitable surface. Null when no living space is recorded
habitableSurface	Summed living area of apartments and houses only
landSurface	Summed land area where present
rooms	Summed principal rooms across habitable lots
lotCount / dependencyCount	Distinct lots in the sale, and how many are outbuildings
isMultiLot	True when the sale covers more than one lot — usually a building or portfolio
propertyType	Apartment or House when present; otherwise the dominant lot type
saleType	Ordinary sale, off-plan (VEFA), auction, exchange, or building land
address / postcode / commune / communeCode	Location as recorded
parcelId	Cadastral parcel reference
longitude / latitude	WGS84 coordinates, ready to map

Notes on the data

• Outbuildings are excluded from €/m². A Dépendance — garage, cellar, parking space — has no living area, so counting it would deflate the rate. It is reported separately as dependencyCount.
• Multi-lot sales are excluded by default and never enter the statistics. A whole-building sale is not comparable to a flat, and including it distorts a median badly.
• Alsace-Moselle and Mayotte are absent. Departments 57, 67 and 68 keep a separate livre foncier and are not covered by DVF. This is a property of the source, not of this Actor.
• The most recent months are incomplete. DVF is published in batches with a lag of several months.
• Prices are the total transfer value, which can cover several parcels at once — which is exactly why the deduplication above matters.
