The average price per m² for an apartment in each district of Bergerac covered by Immover, ranked from the most expensive to the most affordable.
The Bergerac market is one of the most affordable in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. With an average price of around 1 527 €/m² for an apartment and one hundred and forty-nine sales a year, Bergerac sits below the Dordogne average, which is lifted by Périgueux, while showing a steady rise: 9 % over five years, 5,0 % over twelve months. The annual series has been continuous since 2021, without a jolt.
What defines the town is how small its internal gaps are. Seven districts out of nine sit between 1 425 and 1 610 €/m², and only La Catte, to the north on the slopes, and Cavaillé, on the left bank, fall outside that band. In practice, a valuation in Bergerac turns more on condition, year of construction and energy rating than on the district. Three areas remain low-volume and their pages say so: the Aérodrome with six apartment sales a year, La Catte with eight and Saint-Martin with nine.
Bergerac compared with the major French cities, on the average price per m² for an apartment.
Bergerac was built on its river. A port on the Dordogne from the Middle Ages, the town lived off transport by gabarre, the flat-bottomed boats that carried wine down to Bordeaux. English on and off from 1152 to 1450, a Protestant stronghold in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it has kept from those centuries a half-timbered centre, the Saint-Jacques church on the road to Santiago de Compostela and the Récollets cloister, where the Franciscans settled in 1629.
Tobacco then took over from wine. Its cultivation supported local farming from the seventeenth century to the end of the twentieth, and Bergerac is home today to the only museum in France devoted to it. The national gunpowder works, opened in 1915 on the left bank, added an industrial history that long sustained the southern districts. The vineyards never stopped: the Bergerac, Monbazillac, Pécharmant and Rosette appellations still shape the slopes that surround the town.
The name of Cyrano holds a place apart. Savinien de Cyrano, known as Cyrano de Bergerac, never set foot here: the confusion comes from Edmond Rostand. The town adopted him all the same, to the point of naming after him the quay that runs along the Dordogne. That tourist and wine-growing identity, together with an airport flying direct to the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, explains part of the local property demand.
The Bergerac market is first of all a house market. Two hundred and seventy-one houses sell there each year against one hundred and forty-nine apartments, and a house trades at 1 771 €/m², that is 16 % above an apartment. Three profiles meet here: first-time buyers from the local employment area, who find one of the most affordable markets in Nouvelle-Aquitaine; retired buyers drawn by the setting of the Périgord and by exit prices that stay below 2 000 €/m² in almost every district; and foreign buyers, mostly British and Dutch, whom the airport places two hours from home. Flats remain an entry-level and investment market, concentrated in Sainte-Foy des Vignes, Le Foirail and Vieux Bergerac, which together carry more than half of the apartment sales.
The average price in Bergerac is 1 527 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 1 250 to 1 720 €/m² depending on the district. Property portals show asking prices, 10 to 20 % above the prices actually recorded.
Gaps are small for a town of that size. From the most expensive district to the most affordable, the difference is only 33 %: La Catte, to the north, shows 1 744 €/m² and Cavaillé, on the left bank, 1 314 €/m². Above all, seven districts out of nine fall within a band of one hundred and fifty euros, between 1 425 and 1 610 €/m². In Bergerac, the address weighs less in a valuation than the condition of the property and its energy rating.
Bergerac is a town of houses. Two hundred and seventy-one houses sell there each year against one hundred and forty-nine apartments, and a house trades at 1 771 €/m², that is 16 % above an apartment. If your plan is a house, you are on the main market of the town. Flats do exist and that market is active, but it is concentrated in three areas and speaks mainly to first-time buyers and investors.
It is rising, moderately. The average price gains around 9 % over five years and 5,0 % over the last twelve months. The movement is uneven from one area to another: Maine de Biran is up 46 % over five years, catching up from the lowest price in the town, while the Aérodrome is down 15 % over the same period.
Because these are two unrelated markets. Bergerac is a sub-prefecture of 27 110 inhabitants, ninety kilometres from Bordeaux, outside the daily reach of the metropolitan area. The average price there is close to three times lower, 1 527 €/m² against 4 309. That is what makes it one of the most affordable markets in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and what draws part of the second-home and retirement demand.
Start with the type of property: houses and apartments are two separate markets here. As the gaps between districts are small, it is the condition of the property, its year of construction, its energy rating and, for a house, the size of the plot that make up most of the price difference. Heritage character also counts: a half-timbered town house in the old centre is not valued like a 1970s detached house. The Immover valuation tool draws on the recorded sales closest to your address.
