Prefecture of the Tarn-et-Garonne department and its largest town, Montauban is organised around its brick bastide, on the right bank of the Tarn, and spreads well out onto the plain and the hillsides. Prices run from about 1 824 €/m² in Lalande, to the south-east, to 2 357 €/m² in Sapiac, downstream of the centre. The town centre, the most active district in the town with about 78 sales a year, sits at around 2 096 €/m². The gap between the most affordable and the most expensive district stays contained, at around 30 %, which sets Montauban apart from more segmented markets.

The Montauban market is that of a provincial prefecture with a growing population, carried by the proximity of Toulouse and by its position on the Paris to Toulouse corridor. With an average price of around 2 025 €/m² for an apartment, Montauban sits far below Toulouse, at a level close to the other mid-sized towns of the Garonne valley. Houses, at around 2 209 €/m², trade about 9 % above apartments: the gap is small for a town where detached housing weighs heavily.
The gap between districts reflects the structure of the town more than its social hierarchy. The bastide and its immediate outer neighbourhoods concentrate the volume and the highest median prices for older apartments. The plain areas of the north, Bas Pays and Fonneuve, hold comparable levels thanks to a more recent housing stock. The hillsides of the south-east, Beausoleil and Lalande, bring up the rear. With about 417 apartment sales a year, the town average is solid, but the averages of the least active districts, starting with Saint-Martial and Sapiac, vary from one year to the next.
With an average price of around 2 025 €/m², Montauban is markedly more accessible than Toulouse, from which it is separated by about 25 minutes by train. Its brick bastide, the banks of the Tarn and its rail and motorway links make it a town sought after by families and first-time buyers of the Tarn-et-Garonne as well as by working people from the wider Toulouse area.
Montauban is a bastide, a planned medieval town, founded in 1144 on the right bank of the Tarn, at the point where the Tescou joins the river. Its grid plan is organised around the place Nationale, surrounded by a double row of brick arcades rebuilt in the seventeenth century after the fires. Brick gives the town its colour, found from the Pont-Vieux to the facades of the outer neighbourhoods.
A Protestant stronghold at the start of the seventeenth century, the town withstood the siege of 1621 before falling into line. The cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, in white stone, dates from that reassertion of royal authority and stands out from the rest of the built fabric. The former bishop's palace, on the riverbank, today houses the Ingres Bourdelle museum, devoted to two artists born in the town, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Antoine Bourdelle.
The geography of prices follows that history and the lie of the land. The bastide and its immediate outer neighbourhoods, Villenouvelle to the north-east and Le Moustier to the south, form the core of the market. The left bank, around Villebourbon and the station, still bears the mark of the floods of the Tarn. Beyond, the plain areas of the north-west and north-east, Bas Pays and Fonneuve, and the hillsides of the south-east, Beausoleil and Lalande, mix recent apartment blocks and detached houses.
The Montauban market attracts first-time buyers, families and working people from the Tarn-et-Garonne, along with buyers who come looking for moderate prices about 25 minutes by train from Toulouse. Demand covers both the houses of the plain areas and the apartments of the bastide and the outer neighbourhoods. Its status as a prefecture, the station, the hospital and the A20 motorway support an active market, with about 417 apartment sales a year.
The average price in Montauban is 2 025 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 1 639 to 2 300 €/m² depending on the district. Property portals display asking prices, 10 to 20 % above prices actually recorded.
No, but the gaps remain contained. Sapiac, downstream of the centre on the right bank, shows the highest average price, around 2 357 €/m², on a low volume of about 11 sales a year. Lalande, to the south-east, remains the most affordable area, around 1 824 €/m². The town centre, the most active district in the town, sits at around 2 096 €/m². Between the two extremes the gap is around 30 %, markedly less than in comparable coastal towns.
Montauban is the prefecture of the Tarn-et-Garonne and the largest town in the department. Its brick bastide, its Ingres Bourdelle museum and the banks of the Tarn come with the services of a town of more than 60 000 inhabitants. Montauban-Ville-Bourbon station puts Toulouse-Matabiau about 25 minutes away and links Paris, Bordeaux, Agen, Cahors and Brive. The A20 motorway crosses the town from north to south. The average price, around 2 025 €/m² for an apartment, remains far below Toulouse.
Over five years, the DVF average for apartments moved from about 1 795 €/m² to 2 039 €/m², a rise of around 13 %. Over the last twelve months the market has steadied, with growth limited to about 1,6 %. The town median, at 1 971 €/m², stays close to the average, a sign of a market little distorted by extreme transactions. With about 417 apartment sales a year, the underlying trend can be read with confidence.
The town average is not enough: you have to start from the price in your own district, then adjust for the type of property, the floor, the condition, the aspect and the distance to the bastide or the banks of the Tarn. The size of home matters too: a studio trades at around 2 290 €/m² in Montauban, a four-room home or larger at around 1 845 €/m².
