Bordeaux Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Bordeaux

Bordeaux sits on the Garonne in France’s Gironde department, where a historic stone centre, riverside quays and nearby wine country shape a distinctive urban setting. Its established streets and waterfront spaces provide a useful geographic context for anyone assessing apartments in the city.

In October 2026, the clearest signal for Bordeaux apartments is the contrast between rents and sale prices over the year. Average rents are down 17.0% year over year, while average sale prices are down 3.3% over the same period. Both measures have moved lower, but rents have fallen much more sharply. That distinction matters when reading the current figures: a softer purchase price does not, by itself, mean rental income has held steady. The comparison describes the direction and scale of reported averages, not what has happened to every apartment or what will happen next.

The average apartment sale price is €265,000, and the reported yield is 5.17%. Together with the annual changes, those figures frame an investment question rather than settle it: how might the income from a particular apartment compare with its purchase cost? The citywide yield offers a reference point, but it cannot establish the return on an individual property. For an investor assessing Bordeaux, the gap between the rent and sale-price declines is a reason to check property-specific income assumptions, rather than treat the lower sale-price average as a stand-alone advantage.
