Flats in Steg-Hohtenn trade around CHF 4,200 per m², under the cantonal level.

The largest group of homes in Steg-Hohtenn, 17 percent, dates from before 1919, with the rest spread across the other bands. Where stock is this varied, a commune price per m² carries less weight and the comparison has to come down to buildings of the same age. At 3.5 rooms and 100 m² on average, homes in Steg-Hohtenn 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.

That is the market, not your property: a flat renovated in the meantime followed a different curve entirely.
Enough properties change hands in Steg-Hohtenn 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 Steg-Hohtenn 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.
