The number of apartments rented on Airbnb “year-round” is increasing in Île-de-France

Despite the restrictions of the authorities trying to stem the housing crisis, the number of tourist rentals offered "all year round", i.e. more than 120 days per year, increased in Île-de-France between 2023 and 2025, particularly in Paris, according to a study by the Paris Region Institute (IPR) which uses AirDNA data.

The AirDNA firm, specializing in the statistical analysis of short-term rentals, records 139,400 active listings in Île-de-France in 2025 on the Airbnb platform, half of which are in Paris (71,700).

This figure for active advertisements in the Ile-de-France region is certainly down by 17% compared to 2024, the year when the Olympic and Paralympic Games caused a peak in new advertisements, but it jumps by 24% compared to 2023. Among these advertisements, 52,900 are rented for more than 120 days per year, a figure doubled since 2019. Their weight has increased “since the end of the health crisis and reached a historic high point of 38% in 2025,” underlines the study. The IPR uses the 120-day threshold, beyond which a home passes from the status of primary residence to that of secondary residence according to French law.

Record occupancy rate

The institute concludes that the drop in the number of advertisements between 2024 and 2025 only reflects an “evaporation” of rooms in private homes and occasional rentals offered exceptionally for JOPs. Paris, in particular, saw its number of “year-round” rentals increase by 10,000 in two years to reach 29,000 in 2025, “the highest level observed so far” according to the institute. “They now represent nearly 41% of the total Parisian listings offered on Airbnb and 72% of nights booked in the capital,” completes the study.

The year 2025 broke the records of 2024 in terms of nights booked in Île-de-France (16.7 million) and occupancy rate: half of active listings had at least 97 nights, according to AirDNA data. This sharp increase comes as Paris town hall has tightened regulations for furnished tourist accommodation, but fines have only increased since 2026.

AirDNA uses a method of automatic data extraction (scraping) from the sites of large specialized platforms such as Airbnb, Booking or Abritel to evaluate the number of available listings and the number of monthly reservations for each. The Paris Region Institute has decided to “focus only on Airbnb advertisements, to exclude any problem relating to possible duplicates”, and has excluded hotel-type advertisements or those which are not accommodation as well as those for mobility leases.
