Auxerre Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Auxerre

Auxerre, in the Yonne department of France, combines a historic river setting with the everyday practicality of a regional city. Its apartment market reflects that balance, with values shaped as much by local housing needs as by its wider Burgundy context.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal yet: apartment prices have eased while rents continue to climb. The average sale price now stands at €93,500, and the average price per square metre is €1,440, both down 4.5% month over month. That correction has not translated into cheaper occupation costs, since average rent has moved up 6.3% in the same period to €640. For investors, this creates a notable squeeze: gross yield is still a solid 8.73%, but the gap between softer capital values and firmer rents is what defines the month.

Seen over a longer horizon, the picture is more mixed. The average sale price is up 3.3% year over year, while rent is up 3.9%, yet the average price per square metre is down 4.6%. In other words, August does not point to a simple rise or fall across the board. Instead, Auxerre is showing a market where transaction values have recently weakened, income has held firmer, and the investment case rests on that tension rather than on broad-based growth.
