Despite a slight decline in prices in 2024, Bordeaux maintains solid fundamentals which make it a destination of choice for rental investment.
1. A dynamic student city
With more than 100,000 studentsBordeaux is one of the main cities in France in terms of student density. The city's prestigious schools welcome students from all over the country, but not only. Bordeaux also has a large population of foreign students. This dynamism guarantees a constant flow of tenants in the neighborhoods close to the campuses (Talence and Pessac). Invest in a studio or one-room apartment close to the universityit is therefore the certainty of benefiting from an optimal occupancy rate throughout the academic year.
2. An ultra favorable owner/tenant ratio
The Bordeaux rental market offers an ideal configuration for investors. Indeed, only 27% of residents own their home there. This particularly low proportion results in a strong rental demand which results in a particularly high real estate tension indicator (ITI) of 12%.
As a reminder, a real estate market is considered dynamic when the 5% ITI threshold is exceeded. In Bordeaux, it is even doubled, which allows landlords to maintain high rentswithout risking rental vacancy.
3. A quality of life that attracts working families
The appeal of Bordeaux extends well beyond its historic center. THE peripheral municipalities like Pessac, Mérignac, Bègles and Talence are particularly coveted by young working families. These cities on a human scale offer a perfect balance between proximity to the city center and a more peaceful living environment.
In these small towns, it may be advantageous to invest in a house to rent it out. Houses are very rare (and very expensive) in the city center of Bordeaux, which is why many potential tenants turn to neighboring towns to enjoy a spacious property at a more affordable price.
4. Holiday rental investment: always at the top
The seasonal rental market remains as dynamic as ever in Bordeaux. The city attracts a wealthy clientele throughout the year, attracted by its architectural heritage, its prestigious vineyards and its renowned gastronomy. Short-term rentals in the historic center or popular neighborhoods such as Chartrons display very high profitability ratesparticularly during the summer period and major wine events. It may therefore be wise to position yourself in this rental segment which is not likely to weaken in Bordeaux.
