About Cher department

Cher department, in central France, blends the city life of Bourges with quieter countryside and river landscapes. For apartment investors, that mix often means a market shaped by steady local needs rather than headline-making swings, with value still closely tied to location and building type.

July 2026 points to a clear tension in Cher’s apartment market: prices are still moving higher, while rent is easing month to month. The average sale price held at €106,450, but the average price per square metre edged up 0.5% over the month and is now 14.4% higher than a year ago at €1,730. That keeps the pricing trend positive, even if the pace is more measured than in faster-moving markets.

The rental side tells a more cautious story. The average rent slipped 5.0% month on month to €520, though it remains 1.5% above July 2025. That combination leaves the department with a reported yield of 7.58%, which suggests income potential is still meaningful, but investor economics are being shaped by the gap between firmer capital values and softer monthly rent momentum. In practical terms, July’s figures show a market where price growth is intact, yet rental performance is not keeping pace evenly, making entry pricing and asset selection especially important.
