Toulouse is currently grappling with a severe supply-demand imbalance as aerospace-driven population growth outpaces new residential completions. While new developments in districts like Guillaumet offer hope, the scarcity of energy-efficient stock in the historic center keeps buy prices high at an average of €4790/m². The rental market is particularly aggressive, fueled by a massive student influx and a high-income tech workforce. Verdict: Toulouse remains a 'Strong Buy' for long-term capital appreciation, though entry-level yields are narrowing.
