Lax lines the Furka road just below Fiesch, a small German-speaking village in the lower part of the Goms valley.
Flats in Lax trade around CHF 4,100 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. 1971-1980 accounts for 38 percent of homes in Lax, 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 3.3 rooms and 85 m² on average, homes in Lax 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.
Sales are sparse in Lax, which makes any commune-level figure less certain. A property here is better valued on its own characteristics and on sales in the neighbouring communes than on a local median built from a handful of deeds. The median flat in Lax comes out at CHF 4,100 per m², a gap of 21 percent against the Valais median. That figure covers every flat sold, whatever the floor, the age of the building or the state of the kitchen.
Sitting under the Valais median gives a buyer room, though the discount is rarely free. It usually pays for distance from a station, from the lake, or from a school catchment that people compete over. Against the Goms district the gap comes to 21 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.
At CHF 5,800 per m² houses outprice flats in Lax by 41 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 3.6 percent in a year, Lax 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 25-year record opens at CHF 3,800 and closes at CHF 8,500, +124 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.
In Lax the local price per m² is a floor, not an answer. What your property adds to it, or takes away from it, depends on its condition, its plot and its access to public transport.

Houses in Lax are valued around CHF 5,800 per m² of living space. The plot weighs heavily on that figure, so two houses of identical size can be far apart in price if one has land around it and the other has none.
38 percent of homes in Lax date from 1971-1980. 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.
