Luxembourg rents, Q2 2026: what the official data says

This article reports one publication: the Observatoire de l'Habitat's "Prix de location" release, headlined « Évolution des loyers annoncés au 2e trimestre 2026 », last updated 24 September 2026. Its reference period is the twelve months from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026.

Every figure below is in that release or its data annex. We hold no rental market data of our own, and nothing here is modelled, adjusted or estimated by us. Where we did arithmetic, both inputs are shown.

The caveat that governs the whole article, in the release's own words: « Il ne s'agit pas nécessairement des loyers finaux payés par les locataires et inscrits sur le contrat de bail, mais des loyers proposés par les bailleurs sur le marché locatif privé. » These are advertised rents, not the rents finally written into leases. Signed-lease rents are not published.

The four things the release says

1. Apartment listings are up sharply. « Le nombre d'annonces de location d'appartements est en forte augmentation depuis un an : +28% entre le 2e trimestre 2025 et le 2e trimestre 2026. » Supply of advertised apartments rose 28% year on year.

2. Houses are vanishing from the rental market. House listings fell 24% over the year, and the release calls the segment "extrêmement marginal": houses are 4% of rental supply in Q2 2026.

3. Apartment rents are accelerating, and outpacing inflation. Advertised apartment rents rose +5.8% year on year — against +2.0% in Q4 2025 and +4.4% in Q1 2026. The release describes this as an acceleration, and sets it against national consumer price inflation (IPCN) of +2.4% over the same period.

4. House rents fell — but treat that number carefully. Advertised house rents are down 3.1% over twelve months, and the release itself flags that the main characteristic of this indicator is its volatility. With houses at 4% of supply, this is a thin series.

Where the +5.8% comes from

The release states it. The arithmetic behind it is in the release's own national series file, which indexes advertised rents to 100 at Q1 2005:

| Series | Q2 2025 | Q2 2026 | Change | |---|---|---|---| | Apartment rents (index, 2005 Q1 = 100) | 195.09 | 206.49 | +5.84% | | House rents (index, 2005 Q1 = 100) | 197.47 | 191.34 | −3.10% |

Both inputs are published. If you want to check us, the file is linked below.

The averages

From the release's data annex, for the twelve months to 30 June 2026:

| | Average advertised rent | Per square metre | Advertisements | |---|---|---|---| | National | €1,842.6 / month | €44.20 | 9,479 total | | Luxembourg City | €2,032.4 / month | €50.17 | 5,655 |

Luxembourg City alone accounts for the majority of advertised apartments in the dataset.

Note that the release page itself does not print these figures — it points to the data platform. They come from the release's own Excel annex, published in the same 24 September 2026 update. We attribute them to the annex rather than to the prose, because that is where they are.

By commune

The annex publishes a commune figure only where that commune had at least 30 advertisements in the period; elsewhere the cell is a *, which the annex explains as a statistical-representativeness threshold. Communes with published values, in alphabetical order:

| Commune | Ads | € / month | € / m² | |---|---|---|---| | Bertrange | 190 | 1,932.8 | 48.67 | | Bettembourg | 39 | 1,593.3 | 32.81 | | Clervaux | 70 | 1,400.6 | 18.11 | | Contern | 30 | 2,402.7 | 26.71 | | Diekirch | 70 | 1,590.1 | 21.13 | | Differdange | 134 | 1,431.1 | 30.89 | | Dudelange | 111 | 1,665.4 | 30.37 | | Esch-sur-Alzette | 623 | 1,087.6 | 45.37 | | Ettelbruck | 75 | 1,532.5 | 22.38 | | Frisange | 34 | 1,742.1 | 25.25 | | Hesperange | 158 | 1,987.7 | 38.71 | | Junglinster | 48 | 1,782.6 | 31.37 | | Käerjeng | 119 | 974.5 | 42.33 | | Kayl | 36 | 1,578.6 | 25.65 | | Kehlen | 41 | 2,115.2 | 27.28 | | Kopstal | 34 | 2,101.5 | 27.69 | | Leudelange | 80 | 1,149.7 | 45.65 | | Lorentzweiler | 46 | 2,154.3 | 31.65 | | Luxembourg (Ville) | 5,655 | 2,032.4 | 50.17 | | Mamer | 229 | 1,264.9 | 46.41 | | Mersch | 53 | 1,710.5 | 23.12 | | Mertert | 39 | 1,651.0 | 25.18 | | Mondercange | 59 | 936.1 | 50.88 | | Mondorf-les-Bains | 49 | 1,588.4 | 25.91 | | Niederanven | 73 | 1,551.7 | 42.25 | | Pétange | 95 | 1,611.5 | 26.62 | | Reckange-sur-Mess | 61 | 1,360.2 | 34.21 | | Remich | 34 | 1,688.2 | 23.11 | | Roeser | 73 | 1,530.1 | 34.48 | | Sanem | 60 | 1,677.1 | 29.27 | | Schifflange | 54 | 1,503.5 | 31.54 | | Steinfort | 31 | 1,961.8 | 24.77 | | Steinsel | 49 | 1,960.0 | 29.46 | | Strassen | 289 | 2,069.8 | 41.16 | | Walferdange | 142 | 1,796.9 | 38.30 | | Weiswampach | 41 | 1,319.0 | 20.86 | | National average | — | 1,842.6 | 44.20 |

Read the two columns separately. The monthly ranking and the per-square-metre ranking do not agree, because a monthly average reflects the size mix of whatever was advertised. Mondercange has the lowest published monthly average (€936.1) and the highest published per-square-metre average (€50.88, above Luxembourg City). Esch-sur-Alzette is €1,087.6 a month at €45.37 per square metre; Contern is €2,402.7 a month at €26.71. Neither commune is cheap or expensive on its own — it depends which question you asked.

When is the next release?

We do not know, and we are not going to guess. No publication calendar or next-issue date is published on the release, on the dataset page, or on the Observatoire's publications page.

What we can tell you is that Q2 2026 is current: the release headline, the dataset description ("Statistiques jusqu'au 2e trimestre 2026") and the series file all agree, and the series file leaves Q3 and Q4 2026 blank. When the next release appears, this article gets a successor with the same structure and the same sourcing rule.
