Albinen is a mountain village in the Leuk district, on a terrace above the Dala gorge on the way up to Leukerbad, with mostly older buildings.
Flats in Albinen trade around CHF 3,900 per m², under the cantonal level. Cheaper communes tend to have wider spreads between streets, so a single average tells you less here than it would in a tighter market. A gap of 25 percent against Valais means the same budget buys noticeably more surface here. It also means resale leans on demand spilling over from the pricier communes next door, which comes and goes with the cycle.
Position 101 of 119 in Valais puts Albinen 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 Albinen is valued around CHF 5,800 per m² against CHF 3,900 for a flat, a gap of 49 percent. Land is what separates the two figures, and the scarcer the building plots, the wider that gap runs.
Up 4.5 percent in a year, Albinen 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. The district test is the harder one. Albinen comes out 3 percent from the Leuk median, measured against communes competing for the same buyers rather than against a whole canton with several markets in it. 69 percent of the housing in Albinen dates from before 1919. Older stock buys you volume and detail, and hands you the bill for it. Roof, heating and windows come round, and thermal performance is the first thing a valuer marks down.
At 3.0 rooms and 76 m² on average, homes in Albinen 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 3,900 per m² is the working reference for a flat in Albinen, 25 percent from Valais. 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 3,900 to CHF 7,800 per square metre in 25 years, +100 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. Enough properties change hands in Albinen each year to keep the price data steady. Estimates land in a narrower range here, and a valuation can lean on recent comparable sales instead of falling back on the cantonal average.
Lower prices in Albinen do not make a valuation easier. The spread between properties is often wider here than in an expensive commune, which makes the commune average a weak guide to what yours is worth.

69 percent of homes in Albinen date from before 1919. That age band sets the technical agenda for a buyer here, since insulation, heating system and windows are what decide running costs for the next twenty years.
