Median DVF (DGFiP) per neighbourhood, across 140 neighbourhoods.
This market is defined above all by a marked price decline (-11,1 % over 5y), and a dynamic, growing population (+5,4% over 5y).
This median price, based on DVF transactions over the last 5 years (DGFiP Etalab), places Nantes within the pays-de-la-loire regional market. On the rental side, the ANIL median apartment rent there is 14,5 €/sqm/month, an indicative gross yield of 4,9 % before taxes, fees and vacancy.
The town is in strong demographic growth over 5 years (5,4 %), with construction activity low (little new construction, tight market on existing stock). Housing vacancy is low (tight rental market, secure rents). These three factors crossed with the recent price trend (-11,1 % over 5 years) determine the attractivity grade B shown above.
Note: DVF covers registered transactions excluding non-finalised off-plan sales, and ANIL publishes medians (not averages — the rent distribution is pulled up by exceptional properties). For a fine analysis at the exact address, use the simulator above or the town's full profile.

Frequently asked questions
Are the prices/sqm in Nantes expensive?
The median DVF price is 3 529 €/sqm. For a 60 sqm apartment, that is around 211 765 € excluding acquisition fees (count +7 to 8 % notary fees in the existing market).
What rental yield can I expect in Nantes?
The indicative gross yield is 4,9 % (median rent 14,5 €/sqm/month × 12 ÷ median price 3 529 €/sqm). The net yield after charges, property tax, vacancy and taxes is generally 30 to 45 % lower. Use the simulator above to personalise it to your case.
What does the B 5-year attractivity grade mean concretely?
The index crosses 4 factors over the last 5 years: DVF price trend, INSEE demographic trend, Sit@del building permits and Filocom vacancy. B corresponds to an attractive market (solid fundamentals). A good yield/risk trade-off. The full method is documented in the Methodology section.
Can future prices be predicted from the last 5 years?
Not reliably. The past price change (shown above, DVF source) describes the recent market — it does not foretell the future. Property markets tend to revert to their mean: a town that rose or fell sharply does not mechanically keep going the same way, and rates, the wider economy or a local shock weigh more than any extrapolation. That is why we show the observed change and the real drivers (demographics, vacancy, building permits) rather than a speculative future capital gain.
Is it better to buy an apartment or a house in Nantes?
The median apartment price/sqm in Nantes is typically 5 % above the house price/sqm (houses offer more usable surface but a lower €/sqm ratio thanks to the land share). For a rental investment, the apartment generally offers a better yield (more tenants, simpler management, lower urban vacancy). The house is rather preferable for a family primary residence or a heritage project with valuable land.
Is it better to buy or rent in Nantes?
It depends how long you keep the home. In Nantes, a 60 sqm flat costs about €211 765 to buy and €870 a month to rent, a rent-to-price ratio of 4,9 % gross per year. That ratio decides, not the price level.
Buying adds costs renting never pays — transfer duties, notary fees, property tax, maintenance — which must be recouped first. The “Buy or rent” calculator on this page works out the year the balance tips.
