Bourges Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Bourges

Bourges, in the Cher department, blends a historic center, notable Gothic heritage, and a compact urban setting that keeps daily life close to the city’s key amenities. For apartment investors, it offers a market shaped by established residential appeal and a clear price-rent relationship.

July 2026 brings the clearest signal: rents are moving ahead faster than sale prices, tightening the gap between income growth and entry costs. The average apartment rent has reached €580, up 1.8% on the month and 5.5% over the year, while the average sale price sits at €119,250, up 1.7% month on month but still down 2.2% compared with July 2025. That combination keeps the market moving, but not in a straight line.

Price per square metre stands at €1,890, a modest 0.3% monthly rise and 0.9% year-over-year increase. Against that backdrop, the gross yield of 7.68% remains the headline figure for this apartment market: it suggests that income can still compensate for a relatively restrained capital-value trend, even as purchase prices edge upward again this month. In practical terms, Bourges is showing a market where rent growth is doing more of the work than resale appreciation, which is the central tension to watch now.
