Clermont-Ferrand is the prefecture of the Puy-de-Dôme and the historic capital of the Auvergne, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. With about 147 900 inhabitants, it is the core city of Clermont Auvergne Métropole. It spreads across the Limagne plain, at the foot of the Chaîne des Puys and the Puy de Dôme, on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Its heart is arranged around place de Jaude, a vast esplanade dominated by the statue of Vercingetorix, and the central knoll crowned by the cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, built in Volvic stone, the dark grey lava that gives the city its distinctive shade.
The city was built on two histories. Clermont, an episcopal city, and Montferrand, a medieval new town and rival, were united in 1630 under Louis XIII to form Clermont-Ferrand. Old Montferrand has kept its grid plan and its Renaissance mansions. To industry the city owes its other face: Michelin was founded here in the late nineteenth century and keeps its world headquarters here, around the Cataroux sites, leaving a lasting mark on the townscape and the north-eastern districts.
Clermont-Ferrand draws on Clermont Auvergne University and its campuses, on a rail station linked to Paris in roughly three and a half hours, on Clermont-Auvergne airport and on a rubber-tyred tram, line A of the T2C network, which crosses the city from north to south, complemented by a dense bus network. This fabric of facilities, combined with a setting between city and volcanoes and with measured prices for a metropolitan city, shapes a sought-after entry-level property market.
The Clermont-Ferrand market attracts first-time buyers, families and investors, drawn by measured prices for a well-equipped metropolitan city. Demand focuses on period apartments in the inner centre, around Jaude, on properties close to the university campuses and on houses in the residential areas of the south. The presence of Michelin, the university and public services sustains steady demand, and price levels, still affordable, make it a sought-after ground both for a main home and for student rental investment.
The average price in Clermont-Ferrand is 2 175 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 1 686 to 2 595 €/m² depending on the district. Listing portals show asking prices, 10 to 20 % above the prices actually recorded at signing.

With an average price around 2 175 €/m² for an apartment, Clermont-Ferrand remains an affordable entry-level market for a metropolitan city.

Over five years, prices have risen by about 4 %. The Clermont-Ferrand market moves in a measured way, without the sharp rises of some metropolitan cities. Demand remains sustained by the university, the presence of Michelin and the setting between city and volcanoes.
The city average is not enough: you have to start from the price of your district, then adjust for the floor, the view, the condition of the property and the closeness of the tram, the campuses or place de Jaude. The Immover valuation tool draws on the actual sales closest to your address.
