In Namur, gross rental yields for apartments sit around 4% to 5% in 2025-2026, below Charleroi but on steadier ground. The province’s apartment median reached 205,000 euros in 2025, up 13.9% year on year, with houses at 260,000 euros (Fednot, 2025).
Namur trades a slightly lower yield for stability. As the Walloon capital, it draws a steady flow of civil servants, public-sector staff and students, which keeps quality tenants available and rental vacancy short. That reliability is the core of the Namur case rather than a headline percentage.
Prices climbed sharply in 2025. The provincial apartment median rose to 205,000 euros, a 13.9% jump, while the house median reached 260,000 euros, up 14.3% (Fednot, published February 2026). Rising prices compress gross yield: an apartment bought near 205,000 euros and let at around 800 to 900 euros a month returns roughly 4.7% to 5.3% gross before costs.
That places Namur between the two extremes of this silo: below Charleroi’s 6% to 8% but with less of the resale and rental vacancy risk that can shadow the cheapest markets. For an investor prioritising a smooth let and gentler capital growth over maximum cash yield, the balance is attractive.
One counter-intuitive point: the strong 2025 price growth is a double-edged signal. It rewards owners already in the market with capital gains, but it also means a buyer entering now pays more for the same rent, so timing and negotiation matter more in Namur than in a flat market like Charleroi’s apartment segment. As always, net yield lands well below gross once the précompte immobilier, common charges, insurance and maintenance are deducted.
