Real estate prices in Orléans decline slightly

In Orléans, real estate prices showed a moderate decline in September and October 2026, with purchase prices for both apartments and individual houses dropping slightly over the course of a single month. This follows a period of relatively high prices in September, signaling a gradual slowdown in the market.

Apartment prices drop by 1.45%

The average price per square meter for apartments in Orléans fell from 2,616 euros in September 2026 to 2,578 euros in October 2026, representing a decrease of approximately 1.45%. This decline, though small, suggests a slight easing of demand in the apartment market.

House prices also show a slight decline

For individual houses, the average price per square meter decreased slightly from 2,825 euros in September 2026 to 2,810 euros in October 2026, a decline of 0.53%. This indicates a similar trend in the housing market, though the price difference between houses and apartments remains significant.

Houses remain more expensive than apartments

The price difference between houses and apartments in Orléans was about 232 euros per square meter in October 2026, compared to 209 euros per square meter in September. This suggests that house prices are showing more resilience, particularly in peripheral areas of the Orléans metropolitan region.

Rental prices continue to rise

While purchase prices for real estate in Orléans are declining slightly, the rental market is showing the opposite trend. Rents for apartments increased from 13.60 euros per square meter in September to 13.70 euros in October, a rise of 0.74%.

Rental demand remains strong

The upward trend in rents reflects strong demand, especially in central neighborhoods and areas near university campuses. For houses, the average rent also increased from 14.50 euros per square meter in September to 14.60 euros in October, a 0.69% increase.

Investors see potential in Orléans

The combination of a slight decline in purchase prices and rising rents may improve rental yields for investors. This could make Orléans an attractive location for those looking to diversify their real estate portfolios, particularly in the coming months.
