Orléans Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Orléans

Orléans sits beside the Loire, with a historic centre, a landmark cathedral and a well-known association with Joan of Arc. Its setting in the Loiret department gives an apartment search a clear geographic focus within central France.

October 2026 brings a sharper rise in apartment rents than in sale prices in Orléans. Average rent is up 9.5% month over month, while average sale price is up 2.3% over the same period. That gap is the key investor signal: the income measure is moving faster than the purchase-price measure, but both are citywide averages. A monthly comparison does not establish whether this difference will persist, so it should inform a calculation rather than dictate an expectation.

At €173,500, the average apartment sale price offers a reference for purchase budgeting, not a valuation of any specific property. The reported yield of 5.36% is likewise a starting point, not a forecast of what an individual investor will keep. Financing, running costs and the rent achievable on a particular apartment all matter to the eventual outcome. Faster rent growth may help the income side of an investment case, but the simultaneous rise in sale prices still makes the entry price important.

For an Orléans apartment, test the actual rent and purchase price against the intended return. October's gap is worth examining, but does not show that every property offers stronger economics. Property-level costs remain essential to that assessment.
