On the hillsides above Nyon, Genolier combines a village, a renowned clinic and views of Lake Geneva.
Flats in Genolier change hands around CHF 10,600 per m², well above what the rest of Vaud pays. The premium is priced into the land more than into the building, which is why two similar houses here can be valued very differently. 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.
Out of 132 communes measured in Vaud, Genolier sits at position 37. The communes immediately above and below are the ones a buyer will actually compare against, far more than the cantonal average. Houses carry a premium of 6 percent per square metre over flats in Genolier, CHF 11,200 against CHF 10,600. Households buying a house here are mostly trading up from a flat nearby, so demand holds even when volumes drop.
Up 2.0 percent in a year, Genolier 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 Nyon district, Genolier lands 0 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. 1971-1980 accounts for 25 percent of homes in Genolier, ahead of the other periods without dominating them. A mixed stock widens the price range inside one commune: two flats of the same size can be a third apart on condition alone.
Average size in Genolier is 146 m² across 4.6 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 Genolier went above CHF 10,600 per m² and half below, which puts the commune 15 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 3,800 and closes at CHF 8,900, +134 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. Genolier 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. The figures above describe Genolier, 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.
