The average price per square meter for an apartment rose to 2,687 euros in October 2026, compared to 2,669 euros in September 2026, representing an increase of approximately 0.67%.

House prices remain nearly unchanged

For individual houses, the average selling price slightly decreased from 3,312 euros per square meter in September 2026 to 3,310 euros per square meter in October 2026, a symbolic decline of 0.06%. This minimal change indicates a very stable market for house sales in the region.

Persistent price gap between houses and apartments

The persistent gap between the price per square meter of houses and apartments was 623 euros in October 2026, highlighting the value attributed to properties with gardens or garages in a post-pandemic context where comfort remains a priority for many buyers. This difference reflects ongoing buyer preferences for certain property types.

Reims secondary market remains dynamic

The secondary market in Reims remains dynamic, driven by the city's attractiveness, its accessibility from Paris via the TGV in less than 50 minutes, and the presence of a student population and young professionals supporting the demand for first-time buyers. These factors contribute to sustained interest in the local real estate market.

Rental prices for apartments rise slightly

The rental market in Reims also showed a measured evolution between September and October 2026. The average rent for an apartment increased from 13.70 euros per square meter in September 2026 to 13.80 euros per square meter in October 2026, representing an increase of 0.73%. This modest rise suggests a steady demand for rental properties.

House rental prices remain stable

For houses for rent, the average rent remained stable at 11.20 euros per square meter in both September and October 2026. This stability indicates that the rental market for houses is currently less affected by seasonal or economic fluctuations compared to apartments.

Rental yield differences highlight investment appeal

The difference in gross rental yield between the two types of properties is notable: calculated on the purchase price, the yield of an apartment in Reims was around 6.16% annual gross in October 2026, while that of a house was about 4.06% annual gross during the same period. These figures make Reims an attractive option for real estate investors.

Reims as a strategic investment location

These rental profitability levels make Reims an interesting destination for real estate investors seeking investments offering a better price/rent ratio than in metropolitan areas like Paris, Lyon or Bordeaux. The city remains well positioned to attract investor profiles wishing to diversify their real estate portfolio in the region, in a market considered less speculative and more accessible to entry.
