Cayenne, the town
Cayenne covers 23.6 km², sits at 143 m above sea level and had 62,675 inhabitants in the 2023 census.
Cayenne is a French commune, and the chief town of the single territorial collectivity of Guyane. It is the most populous French-speaking city in South America. The city of Cayenne is the most populous in the territorial collectivity, with a population of 62,675 inhabitants as of 1 January 2023.
A little history
The earliest known traces of human presence (pottery and rock engravings, as well as polissoirs) date back to the 6th millennium BC. They are found between the Oyapock and the Maroni, the current boundaries of the territory. The present-day descendants of these indigenous peoples are thought to be the Émerillons and the Wayampis, who speak Tupi-Guarani languages. These peoples are believed to have begun the process of creating the fertile Terra Preta soils, which, some millennia later, would allow the establishment of populations at higher densities than the natural soils would permit.

Prices by property type in Cayenne
| Property type | Median price / sq.m | Central range, middle half of sales | Average surface | Sales, 12 months ending 31 December 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | €3,467 | €2,830 – €3,780 | 27 m² | 33 |
| T2 | €2,745 | €2,384 – €3,224 | 44 m² | 88 |
| T3 | €2,531 | €2,195 – €2,872 | 64 m² | 90 |
| T4 | €2,173 | €1,176 – €2,596 | 83 m² | 19 |
| T5+ | €1,892 | €1,532 – €1,943 | 109 m² | 2 |

Prices by property type in Cayenne
By property type in Cayenne, T3 at €2,531/m², T2 at €2,745/m², studio at €3,467/m², T4 at €2,173/m², T5+ at €1,892/m².
The studio carries the highest price per square metre and the T4 the lowest, a gap of 60 %. Small units usually cost more per square metre than large ones, because the price of a kitchen and a bathroom is spread over fewer metres.
The T3 is what changes hands most often here, with 90 sales over twelve months. It is therefore the type with the most reference points, and the one where a price is hardest to argue against.

Selling in Cayenne
Pricing in Cayenne starts by placing your property inside the €2,299 to €3,243 band rather than on the median alone. The median describes the middle of the market; condition, floor, outdoor space and energy rating decide where in the band you sit.
With 320 sales a year, Cayenne absorbs correctly priced properties. An over-ambitious price shows quickly, because buyers have points of comparison.
Briveo values your Cayenne property from the same DVF file, keeping only sales of comparable properties closest to your address, free of charge and with no obligation, then supports the sale through to the deed.
Buying in Cayenne
Reading the €2,299 to €3,243 band is a buyer’s main tool in Cayenne. A property at the bottom is not a bargain and one at the top is not a rip-off, the band measures how different the properties are, not how well they are priced.
Acquisition costs are budgeted on top of the price, around 8 % on an existing property, around 3 % on a new one. These are orders of magnitude; the notary computes the exact amount.
Prices moving up narrow the room for negotiation without closing it, a property that has been on the market a long time is negotiable whatever the trend says.

Over the last twelve published months the median apartment price moved by +7.6 %. A move of that size over a single year often reflects a change in what is being sold as much as a change in value.
No five-year reading is available for Cayenne. The apartment sales we currently use (2023 à 2025) do not go back far enough to compute one, so the long-term direction cannot be stated here.
Among the towns tracked by BRIVEO in the same department, on the median apartment price, Kourou sits 25 % below and Macouria 60 % above. Those are the gaps a buyer widening their search area actually meets.
