A wine-growing village on the La Côte hillsides, Begnins overlooks the Nyon plain between vines and Jura.
At CHF 10,400 per m² for a flat, Begnins sits in the upper band of the Vaud market. That level usually goes with scarce building land and few sales, so a valuation rests on a thin set of comparables. The premium over Vaud has a practical effect at resale. Buyers arriving from cheaper communes negotiate hard on condition, because they are already stretched on the price per square metre before they walk in.
Position 46 of 132 in Vaud puts Begnins 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. Houses carry a premium of 14 percent per square metre over flats in Begnins, CHF 11,900 against CHF 10,400. Households buying a house here are mostly trading up from a flat nearby, so demand holds even when volumes drop.
The last twelve months added 2.0 percent in Begnins. Rises of this order usually come from a shortage of listings rather than from a wave of new buyers, and they unwind faster than they build. Within the Nyon district, Begnins lands 2 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 group of homes in Begnins, 19 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.
Average size in Begnins is 118 m² across 3.9 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. CHF 10,400 per m² is the working reference for a flat in Begnins, 13 percent from Vaud. 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.
Over 25 years the median moved from CHF 3,700 to CHF 9,100 per m², a change of +146 percent. That is the market, not your property: a flat renovated in the meantime followed a different curve entirely. Transaction volume in Begnins is high enough that one unusual sale does not distort the medians. That matters, because thin markets are where automated estimates go furthest wrong and where a local opinion earns its keep. The figures above describe Begnins, not your property. At this end of the market the distance between the two is where the negotiation happens, so start from a valuation that takes your own characteristics as its input.

19 percent of homes in Begnins 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.
