The average price recorded in Montréjeau stands at 1 082 €/m². This average covers a housing stock where detached houses dominate, with a more marked share of apartments in the old centre of the bastide, whose old buildings are arranged around the arcaded square. Houses are spread over the promontory, along the streets of the bastide and in the suburban extensions on the outskirts. The gaps around this average mainly come down to the type of property, floor area, condition, land and location, between the historic core and the more recent areas. The market remains modest in size, with a limited number of sales each year. These figures come from DVF data, the French notarised sales database, which lists the sales actually signed with notaries, and give a municipal benchmark to be refined property by property.

The Montréjeau market rests on its role as a local centre of the Comminges, at the junction of the Garonne plain and the Pyrenean foothills. The rail link to Toulouse, Tarbes and Pau, the closeness of the A64 motorway and the proximity of Saint-Gaudens support demand from families and working people looking for an affordably priced house. The bastide setting, the view of the Pyrenees and quick access to the mountain valleys add to the municipality's appeal for buyers drawn to a natural environment. Demand mainly concerns houses, which make up most of the available housing stock.
Supply reflects the old character of the buildings and the stagnating population of the municipality, with a market of modest size and a limited number of transactions each year. The energy performance of old houses and the condition of the buildings in the historic centre have become negotiating criteria, particularly for properties in need of renovation. Buyers weigh the closeness of the services and shops of the centre against a hillside setting and the size of the plot. The presence of apartments in the heart of the bastide offers a way in for small budgets, which sets Montréjeau apart from the strictly suburban villages of the area.
A bastide town in the Pyrenean foothills, Montréjeau shows a price level below that of Saint-Gaudens, the neighbouring main town of the Comminges, and clearly lower than those of Bagnères-de-Luchon, a mountain spa resort, and of Muret, in the Toulouse area.
The name Montréjeau comes from the Gascon Occitan Mont Rejau, meaning "Royal Mount", rendered in medieval Latin as Mons Regalis. The bastide was born of a pariage treaty signed in 1272 between the seneschal of King Philippe III le Hardi and Arnaud d'Espagne, viscount of Couserans, as part of the royal expansion that followed the annexation of the county of Toulouse to the Crown. Built on a promontory overlooking the confluence of the Garonne and the Neste, on a site commanding the road to Spain, it adopted the grid plan typical of bastide towns, with a central square lined with arcades, a covered market and a wall pierced by four gates.
The town's heritage bears the marks of this history. The church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste dates back to the 13th century, with an octagonal bell tower raised in the 17th and 18th centuries, whose base is a former remnant of a bastide gate. Away from the town centre, the château de Valmirande, built from 1893 to 1899 for Baron Bertrand de Lassus in a style inspired by Chambord, reflects the grand residences of the late 19th century. The same Bertrand de Lassus was behind the layout of the esplanade, a viewpoint open onto the Pyrenees range. The stone bridge over the Garonne dates from 1825 and the Sarrieu railway viaduct, completed in 1878, is attributed to Gustave Eiffel.
The arrival of the railway linked Montréjeau to the Toulouse-Tarbes-Pau-Bayonne line and made the municipality a hub towards the mountains, with the branch line from Montréjeau to Luchon, closed in 2014 and reopened in 2025. As the main town of a canton of the Comminges, the municipality keeps a role as a market and service town for the valley. Its economy remains shaped by farming on the hillsides and the plain, crafts and activities linked to Pyrenean tourism. Like many rural municipalities in the foothills, Montréjeau is seeing its population stagnate, with 2 648 inhabitants at the last census.
Montréjeau has 2 648 inhabitants according to INSEE, the French statistics institute. The municipality has a residential profile dominated by the detached house, while keeping a notable share of apartments for a municipality of this size, linked to the old buildings of the bastide and a few small residences. Main residences make up most of the housing stock, the share of second homes remaining limited. Owner-occupiers are well represented, alongside a higher share of tenants than in purely suburban villages, owing to the municipality's role as a local centre. The market mainly attracts families and working households from the Saint-Gaudens and Comminges area, first-time buyers looking for an affordably priced house, and buyers drawn to the setting of the Pyrenean foothills. The apartments in the centre suit more modest budgets and people living alone.
The average price recorded in Montréjeau stands at 1 082 €/m², based on the sales registered with notaries and published in DVF data, the French notarised sales database. This figure brings together a variety of properties, mostly houses. The type of property, floor area, condition, land, energy performance and location between the old centre and the outskirts explain most of the gaps around this average. For a reliable valuation, it is better to rely on sales of comparable properties than on the municipal average alone.
Montréjeau is served by Montréjeau - Gourdan-Polignan station, on the railway line linking Toulouse to Tarbes, Pau and Bayonne. The branch line to Bagnères-de-Luchon, closed in 2014, reopened in 2025 and restores the service to the valley. The municipality lies close to the A64 motorway running along the Pyrenean foothills, and around 14 kilometres from Saint-Gaudens. This position at the crossroads of the plain, the Garonne valley and the mountains weighs on the residential appeal of the municipality.
Montréjeau is a bastide town founded in 1272, built on a promontory above the confluence of the Garonne and the Neste. Its centre keeps the grid plan and arcaded square typical of bastide towns, around the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and its octagonal bell tower. The esplanade laid out in the 19th century offers a wide panorama over the Pyrenees range, and every summer the municipality hosts a folk dance festival. The closeness of the mountains and the Pyrenean valleys completes this foothill setting.
The Montréjeau market is dominated by houses, which make up the largest share of the housing stock and match the profile of the municipality, with land and easy access to the Pyrenean valleys. The municipality nonetheless keeps a more marked share of apartments than neighbouring villages, mainly in the old buildings of the bastide and a few small residences. Buying a house suits families looking for space, while the apartments in the centre are aimed at more modest budgets. Your choice will mainly depend on your budget and your need for outdoor space.
Montréjeau is organised around its bastide, on the promontory overlooking the Garonne and the Neste, with a dense old centre full of shops. Around this historic core, housing spreads into more recent suburban areas and hillside houses open onto the foothills. The surroundings of the esplanade and the streets near the arcaded square offer the most historic setting. Each area has its own characteristics in terms of buildings, age and environment, to be examined closely according to your project.
