Rennes Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Rennes

Rennes, the capital of Brittany, combines a historic center, major universities, and a strong administrative role in western France. Its apartment market reflects that mix of stability and change, with prices and rents moving in different directions as the city continues to evolve.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal for apartment investors: rental growth is outpacing property values, but the income gap is still not enough to fully offset softer pricing. The average apartment sale price now stands at €220,000, down 0.5% from the previous month and down 11.1% year on year. On the other hand, average rent has climbed to €580, up 6.9% month over month, which helps support the current yield of 3.52%.

That tension matters because the average square metre price has also eased to €3,910, down 1.5% over the month and 5.2% over the year. In practical terms, Rennes is showing a market where asset values have cooled faster than rents, yet the rental uplift has not fully restored investment economics to a stronger level. For apartment buyers, August points to a market that is still adjusting rather than one that has settled into a clear upward trend.
