Orléans Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Orléans

Orléans, in the Loiret department of France, combines Loire riverside character with the scale and amenities of a regional capital. Its historic centre, transport links and civic institutions give the city a steady urban profile that continues to matter for apartment investors.

August 2026 points to a market where pricing has eased, but rental values are still moving higher. The average apartment sale price stands at €169,900, after a monthly drop of 2.9% and a yearly decline of 8.9%, while the average price per square metre is €2,810, down 0.4% over the month and 5.0% over the year. Against that softer capital trend, the average rent has climbed to €610, up 5.1% month on month and 3.5% year on year.

That split keeps the investment case focused on yield rather than pure price momentum. The current gross yield of 4.8% is supported more by rising rents than by stable purchase values, which suggests that the main tension in Orléans is between improving income and weakening entry prices. For apartment buyers, August 2026 is less about chasing appreciation and more about weighing whether lower acquisition costs can offset a market where sales and square-metre pricing remain under pressure.
