Property prices in Royan in 2026

The table on this page details the median by number of rooms, and the trend is clear: in Royan, the price per square metre falls overall as the floor area grows. For apartments, one room sells at €4,200/sqm (76 sales), two rooms at €3,800/sqm (135 sales), three rooms at €3,600/sqm (134 sales) and four rooms at €3,900/sqm (31 sales, a thinner sample). For houses, two rooms sell at €4,200/sqm (27 sales), three rooms at €3,900/sqm (80 sales), four rooms at €3,500/sqm (117 sales), and five rooms and more at €3,000/sqm (106 sales).

Small floor areas carry the demand for pieds-à-terre near the beaches; the large family houses, the most numerous among sales, pull the house median down. What these figures do not say: the view, the floor, the condition of the building or the villa, and the charges, which in Royan make more difference than the number of rooms. The rebuilding-era stock is read in concrete, insulation, energy and façade works: have the works costed before the offer. The surveys, including the energy performance certificate, are the seller’s responsibility: they are read before talking price.

The series of apartment medians tells of a rise and then a dip: €3,600/sqm at end of June 2022, €3,900/sqm at end of June 2023, €4,000/sqm at end of June 2024, then €3,800/sqm at end of June 2025 and €3,800/sqm again over the 12 months to end of June 2026. Over one year, the median fell by 2%; since June 2022, it has risen by 4%. It is Royan’s gentle climb: a mid-range market, driven by Parisian and Bordeaux buyers, without a surge, whose peak at end of June 2024 did not hold.

No forecast here: registered sales describe the past, not the year to come. They make it possible to recognise a fair price, and not to pay in 2026 for the peak at end of June 2024 as if it were a given. The most sought-after addresses, the open view over the estuary from Foncillon and the marina, the whole house in Pontaillac, often trade before they are listed: the median only sees them after the fact.

The neighbouring sectors publish their own house medians, and they draw a clear slope, from the coast to inland. To the west, Vaux-sur-Mer and Saint-Palais-sur-Mer sit above Royan; on the estuary shore, Saint-Georges-de-Didonne and Meschers-sur-Gironde stand just above; to the north, La Tremblade and Ronce-les-Bains read at €3,100/sqm, and inland, Saint-Sulpice-de-Royan and Breuillet go lower still: moving away from the sea divides the price, at the cost of the road.
