Le Havre Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Le Havre

Le Havre, on the Normandy coast in the Seine-Maritime department, combines a major port setting with a distinctive post-war urban landscape and easy access to the English Channel. Its seafront identity and large-city services give the city a profile that stands apart within northern France.

July 2026 shows the clearest signal in Le Havre’s apartment market: values are edging upward again, but only slowly. The average sale price reached €140,000, while the average price per square metre moved to €2,300, both up just 0.3% and 0.4% over the month. That modest rebound comes after a softer annual backdrop, with sale prices down 3.4% year on year and the average m2 price down 1.4%.

For investors, the tension is straightforward: rental income has not adjusted enough to erase the pressure from earlier price declines, yet yields remain notable at 6.64%. The average rent stands at €550, and it was only up 0.2% month on month, while still sitting 3.5% below a year ago. In practical terms, the market looks stable rather than overheated, with July pointing to gradual price repair rather than a sharp recovery. That combination can support a cautious, income-led approach, but it also suggests there is still limited momentum in rents to strengthen returns quickly.
