La Réunion department Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About La Réunion department

Stretching across volcanic peaks, tropical coastline, and a rare mix of urban centers and natural scenery, La Réunion offers a distinctive island setting within France. Its geography gives the department a market identity that is both local and highly singular.

In July 2026, the clearest signal is continued price momentum for apartments, even as rental growth is also firming. The average sale price reached €259,250, after rising 2.0% month over month and 6.8% year over year. That puts the market on a steady upward path rather than a sudden spike.

The rental side is moving in the same direction but with a different pace. Average apartment rents increased 5.5% over the month to €900, while the annual gain was more modest at 3.4%. This combination suggests that income growth is improving, but not quickly enough to fully offset the higher entry price reflected in the average €4,210 per m2.

For investors, that is the central tension in La Réunion this month: values are climbing, and yields remain at 5.22%, yet the cost basis is also advancing. July 2026 therefore points to a market where returns still exist, but the margin between rental income and purchase price is being tested by ongoing appreciation.
