The second-largest commune in Ajoie, Courgenay lies east of Porrentruy with the hamlet of Courtemautruy, and its name is still linked to the Petite Gilberte of First World War fame.
Courgenay tracks Jura closely, at CHF 4,000 per m² for a flat. Communes in this band are the easiest to value, with enough sales to anchor a price and no local anomaly pulling the figures around. Position 26 of 49 in Jura puts Courgenay among communes with similar price levels and often very different housing stock. Two communes can share a rank and still value the same flat differently once age and condition are taken in.
At CHF 4,200 per m² houses outprice flats in Courgenay by 5 percent. The difference is the plot rather than the build. A house sells with land attached, and where there is little left to build on, the land does the pricing. Up 3.0 percent in a year, Courgenay has been priced by whoever was willing to pay most for a small number of properties. In a commune with few sales, that is exactly how a median gets moved.
Against the Porrentruy district the gap comes to 11 percent. This is the comparison that carries weight for an estimate, because communes in one district share a labour market, a transport network and the same pool of buyers. before 1919 accounts for 18 percent of homes in Courgenay, ahead of the other periods without dominating them. A mixed stock widens the price range inside one commune, where two flats of the same size can be a third apart on condition alone. At 4.3 rooms and 97 m² on average, homes in Courgenay are sized for households rather than single occupants. If you are looking for a studio or a two-room flat, expect a thinner choice and less room to negotiate.
CHF 4,000 per m² is the working reference for a flat in Courgenay, 2 percent from Jura. Take it as a starting point. In a commune this size, the spread between the cheapest and the dearest street is often wider than the gap to the canton. From CHF 4,100 to CHF 6,700 per square metre in 25 years, +63 percent in all. The path was not a straight line, and the flat or falling stretches inside it are precisely what a long average hides.
Courgenay turns over enough stock to give a reliable read. The practical benefit shows at negotiation, where both sides can point to comparable sales from the same year, which shortens the distance between asking price and signature. Courgenay is a market where recent comparable sales exist and mean something. An estimate here has solid ground to stand on, provided it starts from your surface, your floor and the age of your building.
