The average house price in Burgundy is higher than the median because expensive houses in Dijon, Beaune, Chablis, Cluny and the Côte d’Or wine villages pull the average up.

At the median price in Burgundy in 2026, a buyer can usually expect an older 95 to 125 m² village or small-town house, often with a garden, basic heating and some renovation to plan.

Sources and methodology: we used DVF / Service-Public, data.gouv DVF explorer and PAP for sale-price logic.
We checked current house price levels against MeilleursAgents and Figaro Immobilier Dijon.
We then adjusted the results with our own Burgundy house-size and location analysis.

At this entry price in Burgundy, “livable” usually means connected to water and electricity, usable now, but often old, poorly insulated and likely to need heating, window or roof work soon.

The cheapest livable houses in Burgundy are usually found around Clamecy, Luzy, Château-Chinon, Decize, Tonnerre, Saint-Florentin, Montceau-les-Mines, Le Creusot, Autun outskirts and Gueugnon.

Sources and methodology: we used DVF / Service-Public, cadastre.data.gouv DVF and PAP to identify lower-price markets.
We excluded ruins, barns sold as housing and houses needing full structural rescue.
We also used our own filters for livability, access, local services and renovation risk.

Moving from a 2-bedroom to a 3-bedroom house in Burgundy usually adds about €40,000 to €90,000, or about $46,000 to $104,000, because the buyer often gets more living space and a better family layout.

Sources and methodology: we used PAP, MeilleursAgents and Immobilier.notaires.fr for house price checks.
We applied normal 75 to 125 m² house sizes to local €/m² levels.
We then adjusted for Burgundy’s strong split between rural resales and wine-area houses.

How much do 4-bedroom houses cost in Burgundy as of 2026?

As of 2026, a typical 4-bedroom house in Burgundy costs about €220,000 to €380,000, or about $255,000 to $440,000.

Please note that we give much more detailed data in our pack about the property market in Burgundy.

Sources and methodology: we used DVF / Service-Public, PAP and Figaro Immobilier Dijon for larger-house pricing.
We treated bedroom count as a guide, not as the only value driver.
We also checked roof, land, outbuildings, heating and location premiums in our own analysis.

How much do new-build houses cost in Burgundy as of 2026?

As of 2026, a new-build detached house in Burgundy usually costs about €310,000 to €430,000 all-in, or about $359,000 to $497,000, after adding land, construction, fees and basic external works.

New-build houses in Burgundy usually cost about 25% to 45% more than comparable older resale houses, but the difference can shrink when an old house needs roof, heating, septic or insulation work.

Sources and methodology: we used DREAL / SDES construction data, Service-Public notary-fee simulator and Notaires acquisition-cost calculator.
We used the regional benchmark of about €236,000 excluding land for a 123 m² new house.
We then added land, connection costs and our own Burgundy location assumptions.

How much do houses with land cost in Burgundy as of 2026?

As of 2026, a house with land in Burgundy usually costs about €220,000 to €450,000, or about $255,000 to $520,000, when the house is usable and the land is genuinely practical.

In Burgundy, a “house with land” usually means at least 2,000 to 5,000 m², because many ordinary village houses already have a small garden of 500 to 1,000 m².

Sources and methodology: we used data.gouv DVF explorer, Immobilier.notaires.fr and PAP for house and land checks.
We valued the house first, then added land only when it improves use or resale.
We also separated gardens, paddocks, barns, woodland and agricultural land in our own analysis.

Where are houses cheapest and most expensive in Burgundy as of 2026?

Which neighborhoods have the lowest house prices in Burgundy as of 2026?

As of 2026, the lowest house prices in Burgundy are usually around Château-Chinon, Clamecy, Luzy, Decize, La Machine, Montceau-les-Mines, Le Creusot, Gueugnon, Digoin, Tonnerre, Migennes outskirts and Saint-Florentin.

In these cheaper Burgundy areas, livable older houses often cost about €80,000 to €160,000, or about $93,000 to $185,000.

The main reason these Burgundy house prices stay low is not just distance, but weak resale liquidity, older housing stock, higher vacancy and the real cost of upgrading heating, roofs and insulation.

Sources and methodology: we used INSEE Bourgogne-Franche-Comté housing study, PAP and DVF / Service-Public.
We focused on completed-sale logic, not just asking prices.
We also reviewed local services, vacancy pressure and renovation exposure in our own scoring.

Which neighborhoods have the highest house prices in Burgundy as of 2026?

As of 2026, the highest house prices in Burgundy are in Dijon’s best districts, the Côte de Beaune wine villages and the Côte de Nuits wine villages.

In these premium Burgundy areas, good houses often cost about €500,000 to €1.2 million, or about $578,000 to $1.39 million, with rare renovated houses going higher.

These Burgundy areas command the highest prices because buyers are paying for scarce houses, wine identity, tourism demand, restaurants, schools, train access and a stronger long-term resale market.

The typical buyer in premium Burgundy is often a French executive family, a Paris-linked buyer, a wine-sector buyer, a second-home buyer or a foreign lifestyle buyer who wants character without isolation.

Sources and methodology: we used Figaro Immobilier Dijon, PAP and Immobilier.notaires.fr.
We treated central Dijon houses separately because they are scarce compared with apartments.
We also applied a wine-country premium for Beaune, Meursault, Pommard, Gevrey-Chambertin and nearby villages.

How much do houses cost near the city center in Burgundy as of 2026?

As of 2026, houses near the city center in Burgundy usually mean central Dijon areas such as Cordeliers, Grangier, La Gare, Clemenceau, Montchapet and Victor-Hugo, where houses often cost about €350,000 to €700,000, or about $405,000 to $809,000.

Near top schools in Burgundy, houses can cost about €400,000 to €750,000 near Lycée Carnot in Dijon, €350,000 to €650,000 near Lycée International Charles-de-Gaulle, and €450,000 to €800,000 around Saint-Joseph Dijon, Montchapet and Victor-Hugo.

In expat-popular Burgundy areas such as Beaune, Côte de Beaune villages, Cluny, Vézelay, Noyers, Chablis, Morvan villages and the Mâconnais, houses usually cost about €250,000 to €900,000, or about $289,000 to $1.04 million.

Sources and methodology: we used Figaro Immobilier Dijon, PAP and MeilleursAgents.
We connected price levels to transit, schools and lifestyle demand.
We also used our own area grouping because Burgundy is a region, not one single city market.

How much do houses cost in the suburbs in Burgundy as of 2026?

As of 2026, suburban houses in Burgundy usually cost about €240,000 to €650,000, or about $278,000 to $751,000, depending mainly on whether the suburb is near Dijon, Beaune, Mâcon or Auxerre.

Compared with central Dijon or central Beaune, a suburban house in Burgundy can be about 10% to 30% cheaper for similar space, but the best Dijon suburbs can be as expensive as central areas.

The most popular Burgundy suburbs for house buyers include Fontaine-lès-Dijon, Talant, Daix, Ahuy, Saint-Apollinaire, Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Vignoles, Charnay-lès-Mâcon, Sancé, Prissé, Saint-Georges-sur-Baulche and Appoigny.

Sources and methodology: we used PAP, MeilleursAgents and Figaro Immobilier Dijon.
We compared suburban house €/m² with central-house scarcity.
We then adjusted for schools, road access, garden size and commuter appeal.

What areas in Burgundy are improving and still affordable as of 2026?

As of 2026, the best improving but still affordable house areas in Burgundy include Montbard, Autun, Chalon-sur-Saône, Le Creusot, Auxerre edges, Tonnerre, Saint-Florentin and Cluny outskirts.

In these improving Burgundy areas, a normal house often costs about €130,000 to €300,000, or about $150,000 to $347,000.

The main sign of improvement is not a sudden boom, but better buyer interest around TGV access, heritage towns, services, tourism links and cheaper alternatives to Dijon and Beaune.

Sources and methodology: we used INSEE, PAP and data.gouv DVF explorer.
We compared prices with transport, jobs, services and resale depth.
We also avoided calling weak-demand areas “improving” unless there was a clear local reason.

What extra costs should I budget for a house in Burgundy right now?

What are typical buyer closing costs for houses in Burgundy right now?

For an older house in Burgundy in 2026, buyer closing costs are usually about 7% to 8% of the purchase price, before any agency fee charged separately to the buyer.

On a €180,000 Burgundy house, or about $208,000, this often means roughly €13,000 to €15,000 in notary and acquisition costs, or about $15,000 to $17,000, plus possible agency fees of 3% to 6%.

The largest closing cost for most Burgundy house buyers is usually the transfer tax part inside the “frais de notaire”, not the notary’s own pay.

We cover all these costs and what are the strategies to minimize them in our property pack about Burgundy.

Sources and methodology: we used Service-Public notary-fee simulator, ANIL acquisition-cost calculator and Notaires acquisition-cost calculator.
We assumed an older house because most Burgundy house purchases are resales.
We separated acquisition costs from agency fees to avoid double counting.

How much are property taxes on houses in Burgundy right now?

In 2026, property tax for a typical house in Burgundy is usually about €800 to €1,800 per year, or about $925 to $2,080, but large houses and high-rate communes can be much higher.

Property tax on a house in Burgundy is calculated from the cadastral rental value and local tax rates, so two similar houses can have different bills if they are in different communes.

Sources and methodology: we used economie.gouv taxe foncière guide, economie.gouv local-tax data tool and local commune logic.
We treated taxe foncière as a local annual bill, not as a fixed purchase-price percentage.
We also added a safety range for large old Burgundy houses.

How much is home insurance for a house in Burgundy right now?

In 2026, home insurance for a normal house in Burgundy usually costs about €250 to €500 per year, or about $289 to $578, while large second homes or houses with outbuildings can cost €500 to €900 per year.

The main insurance factors for Burgundy houses are surface area, occupancy, roof condition, claims history, flood or clay-shrinkage exposure, outbuildings, heating type and the value of the contents inside the house.

Sources and methodology: we used French 2026 home-insurance market ranges, Burgundy risk adjustments and house-size assumptions.
We treated insurance as a practical buyer budget item, not as a regulated fee.
We also adjusted for old detached homes, second-home use and outbuildings in our own model.

What are typical utility costs for a house in Burgundy right now?

In 2026, total monthly utility costs for a normal 100 to 130 m² house in Burgundy are usually about €220 to €450, or about $255 to $520, depending mainly on heating and insulation.

A simple breakdown for a Burgundy house in 2026 is about €120 to €350 per month for energy, €35 to €60 for water and sanitation, and €30 to €50 for internet and mobile service.

Sources and methodology: we used SDES monthly energy data, CRE gas reference price and Eaufrance SISPEA water map.
We adjusted the numbers for older detached houses in Burgundy.
We treated winter heating as the biggest variable for buyers.

What are common hidden costs when buying a house in Burgundy right now?

In 2026, common hidden costs for a Burgundy house can easily add €10,000 to €50,000, or about $12,000 to $58,000, even when the house looks livable at first viewing.

Buyer-side inspection fees in Burgundy usually run about €400 to €1,200 for a builder or surveyor visit, €150 to €500 for a roof specialist, €200 to €700 for damp or timber checks, and €700 to €1,800 for a structural engineer.

Other hidden costs in Burgundy often include roof repairs, heating replacement, insulation, windows, septic-tank compliance, damp treatment, barn stabilization, garden clearance and emptying an old rural house.

The hidden cost that surprises first-time Burgundy house buyers most is often the heating and insulation bill, because a beautiful stone house can be expensive to heat if the energy rating is poor.

Sources and methodology: we used INSEE housing-stock data, DREAL construction-cost data and French renovation-cost benchmarks.
We separated mandatory seller diagnostics from optional buyer due diligence.
We also used our own Burgundy checklist for roofs, damp, heating, septic systems and outbuildings.

What do locals and expats say about the market in Burgundy as of 2026?

Do people think houses are overpriced in Burgundy as of 2026?

As of 2026, locals and expats usually see Burgundy houses as overpriced in Dijon, Beaune, Chablis, Cluny and the famous wine villages, but still fairly priced or cheap in Nièvre, rural Yonne and parts of Saône-et-Loire.

Well-priced houses in Dijon can sell in about 70 to 90 days, attractive Beaune or wine-country houses often sell in about 60 to 120 days, and ordinary rural houses can take 120 to 240 days or more.

The main reason people feel premium Burgundy houses are expensive is that prices are often driven by lifestyle demand and scarce renovated stock, not by local salaries alone.

Compared with one or two years ago, sentiment in Burgundy feels calmer in 2026, because buyers are more careful about energy ratings, renovation budgets and mortgage costs.

Sources and methodology: we used Figaro Immobilier Dijon, PAP and INSEE.
We used time-on-market data where available, then adjusted for rural liquidity.
We also used our own reading of buyer comments, listing age and renovation sensitivity.

Are prices still rising or cooling in Burgundy as of 2026?

Over the next 6 to 12 months, Burgundy house prices are likely to stay selective, with good houses in strong locations holding value better than remote houses with poor energy ratings.

Sources and methodology: we used PAP, MeilleursAgents and DVF / Service-Public.
We treated asking-price movements carefully because final sale prices can be lower.
We also split Burgundy into premium, ordinary and weak-demand house markets.
