Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois

Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, in Essonne, sits within the southern Paris region with the everyday appeal of a practical commuter town and the added depth of a long-established residential setting. Its apartment market reflects that balance between local housing needs and broader Greater Paris influences.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal yet: apartment prices are still moving higher, but rental growth is not keeping pace. The average sale price now stands at €207,000, while the average price per square metre has reached €3,420, up 4.7% month on month and 18.8% year on year. That pace suggests a market where values continue to reprice upward rather than flatten.

The tension for investors is visible in the income line. Average rent is €920, which is up 4.7% from the previous month, yet still down 3.9% over the year. Against a 5.6% yield, the arithmetic remains workable, but the gap between rising acquisition costs and softer annual rent performance is narrowing room for error. In practical terms, Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois is offering appreciation momentum first, with income growth only partly confirming it.
