Nîmes Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Nîmes

Nîmes, in the Gard department of southern France, blends Roman heritage with a practical urban setting and Mediterranean light. Its historic centre, transport links and regional role give the city a lasting appeal that sits alongside a broad residential apartment market.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal: pricing has softened while rental income has held its ground better than sales values. The average apartment sells for €160,000, after a monthly decline of 5.9% and a year-on-year drop of 12.4%, while the average price per square metre stands at €2,480, down 4.5% month over month and 13.2% over the year.

That adjustment has not translated into equivalent pressure on rents. Average apartment rent is €590, up 7.5% from the previous month and only 0.7% lower than a year ago. The result is a 6.5% yield, which highlights the current tension in Nîmes: lower acquisition costs are improving entry pricing, but the investment case still depends on whether rent growth can continue to offset the broader correction in sale values.
