Alba Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Alba

Alba, in the heart of Cuneo province, blends historic streets, a compact urban core, and a strong identity tied to the Langhe landscape. For apartment investors, it is a place where local character and measured pricing trends can be read together, rather than in isolation.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal: rents are moving up while sale values stay broadly stable. The average apartment sale price holds at €199,000, with the average price per square metre at €2,210, down 1.1% month over month but still 6.1% above a year ago. That combination suggests a market where pricing is not accelerating evenly across all measures.

The tension is most visible in income terms. The average rent has risen to €650, up 6.6% over the month, even though it remains 3.7% below last year’s level. Against that backdrop, the gross yield sits at 4.76%, indicating that current rental gains are helping offset softer yearly rent comparisons, but not changing the broader balance dramatically.

For now, Alba’s apartment market looks defined by contrast: stable headline sale pricing, a modest pullback in €/m² from July, and a sharper short-term lift in rents. For investors following August 2026 closely, the main question is whether the rent rebound can continue to support returns while the sales side remains comparatively steady.
