Orne department Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Orne department

Orne department in Normandy blends wooded countryside, historic towns, and a quiet inland setting that sits within reach of larger regional centres. For investors and residents alike, it offers a grounded alternative to France’s faster-moving coastal markets.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal yet: apartment values are still easing, while rental levels have not kept pace. The average sale price stands at €90,900, and the average price per square metre is €1,510, down 0.6% month over month and 1.7% year over year. That softening sits alongside an average rent of €450, which is unchanged from the previous month but 4.5% lower than a year ago.

The result is a market where income and valuation are moving in different directions. For apartment buyers, the current gross yield of 6.53% remains the key headline, but the annual decline in both sale and rent measures suggests that this income level is being supported by lower entry prices rather than stronger rent growth.

That tension matters for anyone tracking Orne as an investment location. August 2026 does not point to a rebound in pricing, yet it does show a market that is still producing a notable yield at a modest average ticket of €90,900. In other words, the department’s apartment segment is offering return potential while the pricing backdrop remains soft.
