The average price per m² for an apartment in each district of Villeneuve-sur-Lot covered by Immover, ranked from the most expensive to the most affordable.
The Villeneuve-sur-Lot market is rising. The average apartment price rose from 1 037 €/m² in 2021 to 1 187 in 2026, around 14 % over the period, with a rise of 3,8 % over the last twelve months. Most of the increase came in 2022, after which the series levelled off at around 1 160 to 1 200 €/m². With 79 apartment sales a year, volume remains modest: each district records only a few dozen sales.
The districts are moving in contrasting ways. Eysses gains 21 % over five years, the strongest increase in the town. Le Rooy gains 8 % over five years but falls by 3,9 % over twelve months, after a peak in 2023. Centre-ville jumps by 17,1 % over twelve months after a low point in 2024, for a rise of only 5 % over five years. For a seller, this means that the condition of the property makes the difference in a town where 13,7 % of homes are vacant. For a buyer, it means that low prices leave room to finance a renovation, provided its cost is assessed precisely.
Villeneuve-sur-Lot compared with the major French cities, on the average price per m² for an apartment.
Villeneuve-sur-Lot, in the Lot-et-Garonne department, is a bastide, a planned medieval town founded in the mid-thirteenth century by Alphonse de Poitiers on the site of Gajac, abandoned during the Albigensian Crusade. The Gajac mill already appears in the founding charter. The new town spreads across both banks of the Lot, linked by the Pont Vieux, completed around 1289 and built into the defences.
The fourteenth-century town wall was dismantled after the Fronde. Only two gates topped with towers survive, the tour de Paris on the right bank and the tour de Pujols on the left bank, listed as historic monuments in 1901. The Pont Vieux, which had lost two arches in the floods of the early seventeenth century, was rebuilt in 1642. At the turn of the twentieth century, the town built the Sainte-Catherine church, in brick, from 1898 to 1934.
The area was inhabited long before the bastide. To the north, at Eysses, the ancient settlement of Excisum left the remains of a large sanctuary. The Benedictine abbey of Eysses became a prison in 1803 and is today a detention centre. The town is also home to a national stud farm, created in 1806 and re-established from 1845 on the site of the former Franciscan convent, and remains linked to the growing of the prune d'ente, the plum used for prunes.
A sub-prefecture town of 22 350 inhabitants, Villeneuve-sur-Lot is a town of houses: 69,8 % of homes, and nearly 60 % of main residences date from 1946 to 1990. The historic centre, on both banks, forms the priority urban neighbourhood "Bastide des deux rives", which has 2 906 inhabitants. The railway station is closed to passengers; since 2013 its building has housed France Travail, the French public employment service.
An apartment in Villeneuve-sur-Lot costs 1 187 €/m², a level that makes home ownership possible on modest budgets, in a town where 54,3 % of households are owner-occupiers. The buyer profile is that of first-time buyers and families from the Villeneuve area, retirees looking for a home close to the shops, and investors drawn by rental yields. Three points to know before buying. The first is the weight of houses: they make up 69,8 % of homes and cost 24 % more than apartments, at 1 466 €/m². The second is the price geography, which is narrow: from Centre-ville, 11 % below the average, to Le Rooy, 10 % above, the gap is only 23 %. The third is vacancy, 13,7 % of the municipality's homes: the condition of the building, the service charges and the energy performance determine the real value of an apartment far more than its district.
The average price in Villeneuve-sur-Lot is 1 187 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 958 to 1 400 €/m² depending on the district. Property portals show asking prices, 10 to 20 % above the prices actually recorded.
Le Rooy, on the left bank of the Lot, at 1 303 €/m², 10 % above the municipal average. Eysses, in the north of the right bank, follows at 1 255 €/m². Centre-ville, the bastide, comes last at 1 056 €/m².
At 1 056 €/m², it is 11 % below the municipal average. The bastide is made up of old buildings, often without a lift and in need of renovation, and forms the priority urban neighbourhood "Bastide des deux rives". It is nevertheless the largest market in the town, with thirty-one apartment sales a year.
Yes: the average apartment price rose from 1 037 €/m² in 2021 to 1 187 in 2026, around 14 %, with a rise of 3,8 % over twelve months. Eysses rises the most, by 21 % over five years. Centre-ville gains 17,1 % over twelve months, but after a low point in 2024: this rebound has yet to be confirmed.
Houses cost 1 466 €/m², 24 % more than apartments at 1 187 €/m². In a town where 69,8 % of homes are houses, apartments are the minority product, found mainly in the bastide and along the main roads.
No, the station is closed to passengers and since 2013 its building has housed France Travail, the French public employment service. Regional coaches on line 440 link Villeneuve-sur-Lot to the SNCF railway station in Agen, and the free Elios urban bus network serves the districts.
