Mayenne department Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Mayenne department

Mayenne department in northwestern France combines a rural landscape, historic towns, and a pace of life shaped by the Mayenne River and surrounding countryside. Its apartment market reflects that calm setting while still giving investors a clear, measurable benchmark.

August 2026 opens with the clearest signal in the apartment market: prices are still edging higher, but the economics are becoming tighter. The average sale price has reached €173,330, up 3.2% month over month and 1.3% year over year, while the average rent has moved to €530, rising 2.1% in the month and 11.3% over the year. That rental growth has not been matched by pricing momentum at the square-metre level, where the average sits at €2,860, down 2.2% from the previous month and only 0.4% above last year.

That mix leaves the department with a yield of 4.19%, a level that suggests income still matters, but with less room for error than a softer purchase-price trend might imply. In practical terms, August points to a market where rent growth is doing more of the work than capital appreciation, even as sale values continue to firm. For apartment investors watching monthly movement, Mayenne is showing a steady but not one-directional picture, with modest price gains and a yield that remains relevant, though clearly sensitive to further shifts in entry costs and rent progression.
