Var department Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Var department

Var stretches from Mediterranean beaches and coastal towns into wooded hills and Provençal villages. That contrast gives the department a varied setting for apartment investment, with seaside and inland locations forming distinct parts of the same landscape.

In October 2026, the clearest signal for apartments is the gap between rents and sale prices: average rent is up 6.5% month over month, while the average sale price is down 0.6% over the same period. These opposing moves point to a potentially more favorable relationship between rental income and purchase cost, rather than a broad increase in property values. That distinction matters when reading the figures: stronger rent growth does not, by itself, show that every apartment or location will deliver the same result.

The average apartment sale price stands at €257,250, offering a department-wide pricing reference rather than a target for every purchase. At a reported yield of 4.1%, the income case is worth examining, but the headline measure should be read alongside the diverging rent and sale-price trends, not treated as a guaranteed return. For anyone comparing locations across Var, the practical question is whether a specific property's asking price and achievable rent reflect the wider pattern. This month's figures provide a starting benchmark, not a substitute for checking individual listings, running costs and the assumptions behind an expected rental return.
