Yields in Prague are moderate by the standards of Eastern Europe, in part because the prices of apartments and houses have already risen strongly in the past few years. Central Prague properties have yields ranging from 6% to 7% while properties within the suburbs have yields of 4.5% to 7.2%. Smaller properties in the center command higher yields while it is the reverse in the suburbs.

Properties close to the tourist destinations in the country side command the highest yields, up to 7.6%.

However, there is an oversupply of luxury rentals. Rentals for luxury flats and villas in Prague have fallen 20%-70% since the year 2000, with the top end units getting hit the hardest.
