The Lyon real estate market is experiencing a notable decline in December 2025, impacting both purchase prices and rents. Apartments and houses are both affected by this downward trend, with significant repercussions for buyers and tenants in France’s second-largest city.
Purchase Prices: A Significant Correction Across All Segments
Purchase prices in Lyon saw a marked decrease between November and December 2025. Apartments now show an average price of 4,577 euros per square meter in December, down from 4,764 euros per square meter the previous month, representing a 3.9% decrease.
This real estate correction also affects the house segment, which recorded an average price of 6,040 euros per square meter in December, a 6.9% decrease compared to the 6,489 euros per square meter observed in November.
This development represents a buying opportunity for potential purchasers who had been deterred by rising prices in recent years. The second-hand market appears to be adjusting to new economic conditions and evolving interest rates.
| Lyon | Type of Property | Average Price per m2 (November 2025) | Average Price per m2 (December 2025) | Evolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| House | 6,489 € | 6,040 € | -6.92 % | |
| Apartment | 4,764 € | 4,577 € | -3.93 % |

Rental Market: Relative Stability with a Slight Decrease
The Lyon rental market shows greater resilience than the purchase market. Apartment rents stand at 17.20 euros per square meter in December 2025, a slight decrease of 0.6% compared to 17.30 euros per square meter in November.
Rental houses, meanwhile, maintain their level at 15.10 euros per square meter, with no variation between the two months. This rental stability is explained by the strong demand for rental housing in the Lyon metropolitan area, driven by the region’s economic attractiveness and a constant influx of new residents.
Rental investors can thus expect a more attractive rental yield due to the decrease in acquisition prices combined with stable rents. This favorable situation could stimulate real estate investment in the coming months.
| Lyon | Type of Property | Average Rent per m2 (November 2025) | Average Rent per m2 (December 2025) | Evolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment | 17.30 € | 17.20 € | -0.58 % | |
| House | 15.10 € | 15.10 € | 0.00 % |
