Cornaux is an Entre-deux-Lacs village between Saint-Blaise and Cressier, at the foot of the Jura on the road and rail corridor linking Neuchâtel and Biel/Bienne.
Buying in Cornaux means paying more per square metre than almost anywhere in Neuchâtel, at CHF 5,800 for a flat. The gap holds even on older stock, so renovation work rarely comes off the asking price the way it does elsewhere. Paying 12 percent more than the cantonal median buys location, not floor space. The same budget moved to a neighbouring commune would typically add a room, and that is the trade most buyers here have already made. Position 8 of 21 in Neuchâtel puts Cornaux 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.
A house in Cornaux is valued around CHF 6,200 per m² against CHF 5,800 for a flat, a gap of 7 percent. Land is what separates the two figures, and the scarcer the building plots, the wider that gap runs. Flat prices in Cornaux are up 3.0 percent over twelve months. One year is a short window, so measure it against the longer trajectory before you read it as a change of direction.

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. Average size in Cornaux is 101 m² across 3.7 rooms. Compare your own property with that figure before you read any price per square metre, because an outsized home rarely sells at the local rate and a small one often beats it.
The median flat in Cornaux comes out at CHF 5,800 per m², a gap of 12 percent against the Neuchâtel median. That figure covers every flat sold, whatever the floor, the age of the building or the state of the kitchen. The 25-year record opens at CHF 3,900 and closes at CHF 7,700, +97 percent apart. Use it to sanity-check an estimate rather than to project forward, since nothing in the series promises the next decade repeats it. Cornaux 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.
In Cornaux the difference between two flats on the same street can run into six figures. Getting your own number, rather than reading the commune median, is what makes that difference visible before you set a price.
