Toulouse (31) and its local property market

Discover the property market in Toulouse: trends for 2026, prices per square metre, the most sought-after neighbourhoods, quality of life, and advice on buying, selling or investing. Based in Patte-d’Oie and specialising in the Rive Gauche (Saint-Cyprien, Cartoucherie, Purpan…), Nathalie Hisseini, a Capifrance estate agent, will support you with all your property projects in Toulouse and the inner suburbs.

Toulouse is as captivating as it is inspiring. Having lived there several years ago, I decided to return. Ten years on, the ‘Ville Rose’ has retained what makes it so charming: a unique energy, a highly sought-after quality of life and a property market that remains vibrant. Based in the Patte-d’Oie neighbourhood, I mainly assist with property projects on the Left Bank of Toulouse: Saint-Cyprien, Patte-d’Oie, Cartoucherie, Purpan, Croix-de-Pierre and their surrounding areas.

Whether you wish to sell a house, buy a flat, invest in an investment property or find a plot of land to build on, understanding how the property market in Toulouse works is essential to the success of your project.

Why does the property market in Toulouse remain particularly attractive?

As the prefecture of Haute-Garonne and the capital of Occitanie, Toulouse is now the fourth (and soon to be third!) largest city in France. Its dynamism is underpinned by several key factors:

• a labour market driven by the aerospace, space and new technology sectors;
• over 120,000 students who provide strong support for the rental market;
• a constantly evolving transport network, including the future Metro Line C;
• a highly sought-after living environment nestled between the Garonne, the Canal du Midi and green spaces;
• a city that continues to attract new residents every year.

This strong appeal sustains robust demand for property, both for primary residences and for rental investment.

Following several years of a slowdown linked to rising interest rates, the Toulouse property market is gradually regaining a better balance.

The market remains particularly active in the following sectors:

• flats with outdoor space;
• family homes;
• investment properties;
• commercial premises;
• properties close to transport links and future metro stations.
