A forest commune of the Jorat, Jorat-Menthue brings together several villages between Lausanne and Moudon.
Flats in Jorat-Menthue trade around CHF 7,000 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. Prices below the cantonal level move later and less than the top of the market. In practice a correction in Vaud reaches communes like this one with a delay, and so does a recovery. Jorat-Menthue ranks 105 out of 132 communes in Vaud on flat prices per m². Rankings shift a place or two from one year to the next without anything real changing, so read the band rather than the exact position.
Flat prices in Jorat-Menthue are up 3.3 percent over twelve months. One year is a short window: measure it against the longer trajectory before you read it as a change of direction. Against the Gros-de-Vaud district the gap comes to 14 percent. This is the comparison that carries weight for an estimate: communes in one district share a labour market, a transport network and the same pool of buyers.
The largest group of homes in Jorat-Menthue, 33 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 4.1 rooms and 127 m² on average, homes in Jorat-Menthue 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.
CHF 7,000 per m² is the working reference for a flat in Jorat-Menthue, 24 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 3,900 to CHF 9,200 per m², a change of +136 percent. That is the market, not your property: a flat renovated in the meantime followed a different curve entirely. Enough properties change hands in Jorat-Menthue 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.
Before you settle on a price in Jorat-Menthue, get a number that reflects your own property rather than the commune. It takes a few minutes, and it changes what you are able to defend in a negotiation.
