Annecy Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Annecy

Annecy sits beside its namesake lake in Haute-Savoie, with an old town threaded by canals and the Alps close at hand. Its waterside setting and historic centre give the city a distinctive geographical setting, though those features alone say nothing about investment returns.

In October 2026, the clearest signal for Annecy apartments is the sharper monthly retreat in rents than in sale prices. Average rent fell 4.8% from September, while the average sale price edged down 0.4%. That contrast matters more than either move in isolation: a small adjustment in purchase prices does not, by itself, offset a substantially larger shift on the income side. These are averages, not evidence that every apartment or lease followed the same path. The comparison is most useful as a prompt to test rental assumptions against current purchase costs.

At €447,000 for the average apartment sale price, acquisition cost remains central to that calculation. The reported yield is 4.45%, but it should be read alongside the latest divergence between rents and prices rather than treated as a guaranteed return on an individual purchase. An apartment’s result will depend on its purchase terms and rental outcome; the citywide figures establish neither for a specific address. For this month, the question is whether the modest movement in sale prices leaves enough room for the weaker rental reading in an investor’s own calculations. Price direction alone does not answer it.
