The average price of unleased land (€4,860/ha) has risen by almost 4% over one year and by only 9% since 2021.
The decline in rented land at regional level is slightly down over one year (-1.7%) and masks very significant increases in certain départements (e.g. +3% in Allier, +5% in Puy-de-Dôme or Haute-Loire).

Farmland sale prices by département in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region

The sale price of farmland in the Ain (01)

The land market in the Ain is expected to show positive growth in 2024, with the average price of vacant land reaching €4,050/ha, an increase of 7.1% compared with 2023. This increase marks a rebound from recent market fluctuations. However, the change over two years remains moderate (+4.4% since 2022), reflecting a degree of price stability in this département. Data on rented land is not available for the Ain. This performance places the département slightly below the regional average, but confirms the upward trend observed in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
 

The sale price of farmland in the Allier (03)

The land market in the Allier will be mixed in 2024. Unleased land will stand at €4,050/ha (-4% vs. 2023), while leased land will reach €3,590/ha (+3.5% vs. 2023). Over two years, unleased land shows a slight decline of 6.25%, contrasting with the 3.8% increase in leased land. This difference in trends between the two segments reflects different market dynamics. With prices below the regional average, the Allier remains attractive to agricultural investors. The availability of data on both types of land enables a detailed analysis of the local market.
 

The sale price of farmland in Ardèche (07)

The Ardèche will see a strong recovery in the land market in 2024. Unrestricted land prices will jump by 7.9% year-on-year to €4,920/ha, partially offsetting the decline observed in 2022-2023 (-2.2% over two years). This volatility reveals a market in adjustment, probably influenced by the specific geographical and agricultural characteristics of the Ardèche region. Despite this significant increase, prices remain below the regional average. The absence of data on leased land limits the overall analysis of the departmental land market. This positive trend bears witness to the renewed interest in agricultural land in the Ardèche.
 

The sale price of farmland in the Cantal (15)

The Cantal maintains its position as a department with high prices, with unleased land at €6,630/ha in 2024, despite a modest increase of 0.9% over one year. Rented land stands at €5,370/ha (+2.1% vs. 2023). This relative stability conceals steady growth over the past two years (+3.9% for vacant land, +4.3% for rented land). Cantal stands out for its prices, which are higher than the regional averages, reflecting the quality and attractiveness of its farmland. The availability of comprehensive data on both segments confirms the maturity and transparency of this land market.

The sale price of farmland in the Drome (26)

The Drôme recorded an excellent performance in 2024, with vacant land at €6,790/ha, a remarkable increase of 9.2% compared with 2023. This increase is part of a positive two-year trend (+5.8% since 2022). These high prices, above the regional average, reflect the attractiveness of the Drôme region for agriculture. The absence of data on rented land means that an exhaustive analysis is not possible, but the strong increase in unoccupied land indicates a dynamic market. This performance places Drôme among the best performing départements in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

The sale price of farmland in Isère (38)

Isère is showing an encouraging recovery in 2024, with vacant land at €4,960/ha (+5.1% vs. 2023). This increase partially offsets the sharp fall recorded in 2022-2023, with the two-year change remaining negative by 10.5%. This volatility reveals a market in search of equilibrium, influenced by urban pressures and agricultural preservation issues. Despite these fluctuations, prices remain within the regional average. The lack of data on leased land means that we cannot provide a complete picture, but the 2024 trend suggests a gradual stabilisation of the Isère land market.

The sale price of farmland in the Loire (42)

The Loire was an exception in 2024, with a 4.2% fall in prices for undeveloped land, to €3,670/ha. This performance contrasts with the upward regional trend and is part of a slight erosion over two years (-0.8%). This particular situation may be explained by the specific local features of the market, or by a correction following previous high levels. Prices remain the lowest in the region, offering attractive opportunities for investors. The absence of data on leased land limits the analysis, but this downward trend deserves particular attention in the regional context.

The sale price of farmland in Haute-Loire (43)

Haute-Loire has achieved the most spectacular performance in the region, with an explosion in prices for vacant land: +18.8% in 2024, reaching €4,290/ha. This exceptional increase is accompanied by a significant rise over two years (+14.1%). Leased land is following a more measured positive trend, with prices up by 5.1% (+4.7% over two years) to €3,310/ha (+5.1% vs. 2023). This surge in prices reveals a major revival of interest in agricultural land in this département, probably linked to its natural assets and development potential. Despite this increase, prices remain affordable compared with other départements.

The sale price of farmland in Puy-de-Dôme (63)

The Puy-de-Dôme has a balanced and dynamic market in 2024. Unleased land will rise by 4.9% to €4,270/ha, while leased land will record the best performance in the region (+5.3%) at €3,950/ha. The two-year trend confirms this positive trend, with an increase of 7.3% for unleased land and 9.4% for leased land. This consistent trend between the two segments reflects a mature and attractive market. Prices remain reasonable compared with regional averages, reinforcing the attractiveness of the département for agricultural projects. This remarkable performance illustrates the region's potential.

The sale price of farmland in the Rhône (69)

The Rhône is showing excellent growth in 2024, with vacant land at €4,940/ha (+7.2% vs. 2023). This increase is part of a sharp rise over two years (+15.2%), placing the département among the best performers in the region. This significant increase probably reflects the pressure on property prices due to the proximity of Lyon and the region's economic attractiveness. Despite this increase, prices remain within the regional average. The lack of data on rented land means that a full analysis is not possible, but the sharp rise in vacant land indicates a particularly dynamic and sought-after land market.

The sale price of farmland in Savoie (73)

Prices in Savoie remain high, with vacant land at €5,620/ha in 2024, a slight increase of 1.4% over one year. The increase over two years (+4.1%) confirms a measured but steady upward trend. These prices, which are higher than the regional average, can be explained by the attractiveness to tourists and the quality of Savoie's farmland. The proximity of ski resorts and the department's economic development are helping to maintain pressure on land prices. The absence of data on rented land limits the analysis, but the relative stability of prices for vacant land is evidence of a mature and valued market.

The sale price of farmland in Haute-Savoie (74)

Haute-Savoie still has the highest prices in the region, with vacant land at €9,490/ha in 2024, a slight increase of 1.0% over one year. However, the trend over two years shows a fall of 5.1%, suggesting an adjustment after very high levels. These exceptional prices can be explained by the pressure on land due to urban development and tourism in the département. The absence of data on rented land limits the analysis, but the price levels for vacant land confirm the scarcity and value of agricultural land in Haute-Savoie. This particular situation makes it a niche market.
