Le Havre Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Le Havre

Le Havre sits on France’s Channel coast at the mouth of the Seine, where a working port meets a city centre known for its postwar architecture. Its maritime setting gives the city a distinct identity within Seine-Maritime.

In October 2026, the clearest signal for Le Havre apartments is the gap opening between purchase prices and rents. The average sale price rose 3.6% from the previous month, while the average rent fell 5.3%. Together, those moves suggest a less favourable near-term balance between the cost of buying and the rental income indicated by the latest averages. They do not establish how any particular apartment will perform; the agreed price and achievable rent remain essential to a deal-level assessment.

The average sale price stands at €146,820. It is a reference point, not a target for every transaction. A prospective purchase needs to be assessed against the rent that the same apartment could realistically produce, rather than against an income assumption carried over from an earlier month. That distinction matters when the two monthly averages are moving in opposite directions.

The reported yield is 6.63%, but it is best read alongside this price-rent split, not as a promise of return. For investors reviewing Le Havre, the immediate task is to test whether a property’s expected rent still supports its purchase price. The figures call for careful price-to-rent calculations rather than a conclusion about every building or neighbourhood.
