Lyon · Prices
Home Select, a prestige buyer’s agent, reads the real prices of the Lyon market from registered sales: medians by type and room count, the measured correction since June 2022, the gaps from the 6th to La Croix-Rousse. Lyon is a sum of micro-markets: the goal is to offer the right price, district by district.

01Prices
France’s second heritage market: Lyon volume is deep, sales numerous, and the published data, sale by sale, up to end of June 2026, says three things. First a clear correction since June 2022, the apartment median has fallen by about a tenth. Then considerable gaps between micro-markets: the 6th and the Presqu’île compare neither to La Croix-Rousse nor to Vieux Lyon. Finally a structural scarcity: houses are only a very small share of sales, Lyon’s stock is overwhelmingly apartments.
What these figures cannot say: no rents, no time-on-market, no building condition. On Lyon’s old stock, traboules and nineteenth-century co-ownerships, the technical audit weighs on the decision as much as the asking price.

The Lyon square metre costs more small than large, and the table alongside, computed over the 12 months to end of June 2026, shows the step down room by room. But the dominant variable is the micro-market: the sector data puts Foch and the Tête d’Or at the top, ahead of the Presqu’île and Ainay, then La Croix-Rousse; Vieux Lyon and the western suburbs read lower.
One practical consequence: the useful comparison happens at constant size and micro-area, against recent sales of the same street. On fine bourgeois surfaces the market moves fast: a through apartment of the 6th, well laid out and without heavy works, finds a taker before the first open viewing.
04Prices
Lyon lines up very different micro-markets: the noble floors of Ainay and the Presqu’île, Haussmannian apartments and Lyon’s safe-haven value; the avenues of the 6th around the Tête d’Or park, the families’ district of large bourgeois surfaces; and the reinvented canuts of La Croix-Rousse, plateaus, workshops and terraces, village spirit.
Around the city, the western suburbs, from Sainte-Foy to Écully and Tassin, work as a network: a significant share of houses sells without advertising, between neighbours, notaries and professionals. Lyon’s fine addresses circulate first by word of mouth, a constant of this market.
Foch, the park: the large bourgeois surfaces of the families’ district, at the top of the sector data.
Haussmannian noble floors, Lyon’s safe-haven value, between Bellecour and the quays.
Canut plateaus, workshops and terraces, a village spirit on the slopes, old-building audit in mind.

On a correcting, segmented market, price discipline is decisive: Home Select’s finders prepare every offer with comparable sales of the micro-area, the full technical condition of the property and the seller’s situation. The median frames, it does not decide.
That is the difference between following a price and building one. In Lyon, where fine addresses trade by word of mouth, this preparation and this watch are what allow a firm offer without overpaying.
A buyer’s agent answers within one working day. A first confidential conversation, with no commitment.
On the ground
On this market, a share of the sought-after properties sells before publication, between families and through notaires and local networks. Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties every day from its network of 15,000 partners.
Every lead is verified and priced for you before you travel, on file then on a video viewing: you view only the shortlisted properties, your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip. Home Select then defends your offer, with a complete file and the actual sales of the area in hand.
Surveys, co-ownership rules, easements, local building specifics: every document is checked before you commit.
Both are billed only if the property is found and the purchase completed.

The Confidential offerThe median of registered apartment sales in Lyon stands at €4,400/sqm over the 12 months to end of June 2026, on more than seven thousand retained sales; houses, very scarce in transactions, stand clearly apart. These benchmarks come from published land registry data; the table on this page details the median by room count, and the sector data puts the 6th at the top.
As on France’s great heritage markets, the rise of rates recalibrated a decade of increases: the apartment median has fallen by about a tenth since June 2022 in the published data, after a peak. For a buyer, it is a market become negotiable again, where every offer builds on comparable sales rather than on the memory of the peak.
The sector data puts Foch and the Tête d’Or area, in the 6th, at the top of the Lyon market, ahead of the Presqu’île and Ainay. These gaps read street by street: precisely why a Lyon offer is prepared on comparable sales of the micro-area, never on the citywide average.
Yes, but the stock is scarce: houses are only a small share of registered sales, and most of the family offer shifts to the western suburbs, from Sainte-Foy to Écully and Tassin, where a significant share of transactions happens without advertising, between neighbours and notaries. It is a market of watch and network.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Lyon, charges 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT) on the Exclusive offer, or 1.5% on the Confidential offer for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Home Select is paid on success only, and also on what you save: nothing is due until you have bought.
