Pau Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Pau

Pau, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, blends a compact city setting with views toward the Pyrenees and a long-established role as a regional hub in southwest France. That combination gives the local apartment market a distinctive identity, where urban convenience and place appeal sit side by side.

July 2026 brings the clearest signal for Pau’s apartment market: prices are edging up again, but annual values remain well below last year’s level. The average sale price has moved to €154,900, while the average price per square metre stands at €2,180, up 0.6% and 0.8% respectively over the month. Against that short-term firmness, the broader picture is still soft, with the average sale price down 8.3% year on year and the average m2 price down 12.2%.

For investors, the tension is visible in the income side as well. The average rent price is €520, and it has slipped 3.8% month on month while staying flat over 12 months. That leaves the reported yield at 6.28%, a level that reflects how lower purchase values can support returns even as rent growth remains absent. In other words, July is not a story of broad-based recovery, but of modest price stabilisation against still-reduced annual pricing and muted rent momentum.
