At the foot of the Aiguille de Baulmes in the Nord vaudois, Baulmes watches over its bourg between plain and Jura.
At CHF 5,400 per m² for a flat, Baulmes is one of the cheaper places to buy in Vaud. Lower entry prices normally come with a longer commute or an older building, and one of the two usually explains the discount. A gap of 41 percent against Vaud 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. Out of 132 communes measured in Vaud, Baulmes sits at position 129. The communes immediately above and below are the ones a buyer will actually compare against, far more than the cantonal average.
Up 2.2 percent in a year, Baulmes 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. Within the Jura-Nord vaudois district, Baulmes lands 21 percent from the local median. A cantonal average mixes city and countryside, so it flatters some communes and penalises others. The district figure removes most of that distortion.
The largest band in Baulmes is before 1919, at 50 percent of homes. Buildings of that age were rarely insulated when built, so running costs and the cost of the works belong in the price you offer, not in a list for later. Average size in Baulmes is 105 m² across 3.8 rooms. Compare your own property with that figure before you read any price per square metre: an outsized home rarely sells at the local rate, and a small one often beats it.
Half the flats sold in Baulmes went above CHF 5,400 per m² and half below, which puts the commune 41 percent from the Vaud median. One exceptional sale barely moves a median, and that is why we use it instead of an average. The 25-year record opens at CHF 3,900 and closes at CHF 7,900, +103 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. Baulmes 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 Baulmes 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.

50 percent of homes in Baulmes 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.
