Martigues Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Martigues

Martigues, set between the Étang de Berre and the Mediterranean edge of Bouches-du-Rhône, is known for its canals, waterfront neighbourhoods and practical links across the industrial south of France. That blend of coastal setting and working-city function continues to shape its apartment market.

August 2026 points to a clear tension: values are easing, but rents are not falling with them. The average apartment sale price stands at €195,000, after a monthly decline of 1.5% and a yearly drop of 4.7%. At the same time, the average price per square metre is €2,770, down 2.2% over the month yet still up 1.3% over the year, suggesting that the correction is uneven rather than broad-based.

For investors, that matters because income has not adjusted downward in line with sale prices. Average rent is €790, up 5.6% month on month and unchanged year on year, which helps explain why the reported yield remains at 6.4%. In other words, Martigues is currently offering a stronger income signal than its softer capital values might suggest, but the gap between cooling purchase prices and firmer rents is the key feature to watch this month.
