Price per m²
on La Côte
How much is a square metre worth near you? Here are the median prices observed on La Côte, in the canton of Vaud and across French-speaking Switzerland — enough to place your property before going further.
One of the tightest markets in French-speaking Switzerland
Between Geneva and Lausanne, the district of Nyon shows prices around 30% above the Vaud average. Scarce land and commuter demand keep lasting pressure on values.

The square metre, canton by canton
French-speaking Switzerland is a highly segmented market: the same property can be worth three to four times more on the Lake Geneva arc than in the Jura. Median for owner-occupied apartments, by canton.

|---|---|---|---|
| Genève | 13 209 | 13 198 | +++ |
| Vaud | 9 159 | 8 673 | ++ |

Apartments or houses?
Since 2022, owner-occupied apartments have outperformed detached houses in most French-speaking cantons: demand is concentrated on urban centres and their outskirts, where most new supply takes the form of condominiums.
Detached houses nonetheless keep a strong scarcity premium on the Lake Geneva arc, where supply is very limited. In the most expensive cantons like Geneva, scarce land actually levels the two values per m².
Apartments
Growth in price per m² over 25 years across Switzerland. A segment driven by urbanisation and new supply.
Houses
Over the same period. Scarce land on La Côte supports prices but lengthens selling times for atypical properties.
Course for 2026
The consensus among research institutes, banks and specialist platforms points to a continued rise of around +1.5% to +4% depending on sources and segments. The advantage remains with well-located, correctly priced properties.
On La Côte, this confirms a seller's market — provided you avoid overvaluation, which lengthens selling times and ends up discounting the property. A fair price, from the start, remains the best lever.
