Metz Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Metz

Metz, in the Moselle department of France, combines a historic riverside setting with a strong urban core and a distinctive architectural mix. Its position in north-eastern France gives the city a long-standing appeal for residents and investors looking at apartments in a well-established regional centre.

July 2026 brings the clearest signal: prices are easing at the margin, but the income picture is still under pressure. The average apartment sale price sits at €210,000, after moving down 1.4% month over month, while the average price per square metre is €3,230, down 0.5%. That softer monthly tone comes alongside a yield of 5.31%, which suggests returns are being tested even as capital values pause.

At the same time, the annual trend still points higher. Over 12 months, the average sale price is up 8.8% and the average price per square metre is up 15.5%, showing that recent cooling has not erased the broader upward revaluation. Rents have also advanced: the average apartment rent is €640, up 0.6% on the month and 7.6% year on year. For investors, Metz therefore presents a familiar tension in July 2026: asset prices remain well above last year, yet the current yield leaves less room for error than the headline appreciation alone might imply.
