Le Havre Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Le Havre

Le Havre combines a major port setting with a modern coastal identity, shaped by postwar architecture, broad seafront views and a working-city rhythm that keeps it distinct within Normandy. For apartment investors, that mix still makes the city easy to track in cycle terms rather than headline terms.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal: prices are easing while rent holds up well enough to keep the gross yield at 6.91%. The average apartment sells for €139,000, but that figure is now moving lower, with the average sale price down 0.7% over the month and 7.1% over the year. On a per-square-metre basis, the market looks softer still at €2,240, after a monthly drop of 2.3% and a yearly decline of 5.6%.

Against that backdrop, the rental side is not simply following the same path. Average rent is €570, and it rose 3.9% month over month even though it is down 1.1% from a year earlier. That split matters: it suggests the current investment case is being shaped more by falling acquisition costs than by a broad-based rental upswing. For buyers focused on yield, the present tension is clear: weaker pricing can improve entry levels, but the income picture remains mixed rather than fully strengthening.
