West of Yverdon-les-Bains, Orges sits on the lower Jura slopes between Grandson and Baulmes, a village of mostly old buildings.
Flats in Orges trade around CHF 6,900 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. 35 percent of the housing in Orges dates from before 1919. Older stock buys you volume and detail, and hands you the bill for it. Roof, heating and windows come round, and thermal performance is the first thing a valuer marks down.
At 4.0 rooms and 118 m² on average, homes in Orges 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. Sales are sparse in Orges, which makes any commune-level figure less certain. A property here is better valued on its own characteristics and on sales in the neighbouring communes than on a local median built from a handful of deeds.
CHF 6,900 per m² is the working reference for a flat in Orges, 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. Sitting under the Vaud median gives a buyer room, though the discount is rarely free. It usually pays for distance from a station, from the lake, or from a school catchment that people compete over. The district test is the harder one. Orges comes out 11 percent from the Jura-Nord vaudois median, measured against communes competing for the same buyers rather than against a whole canton with several markets in it.
The 11 percent premium on flats over houses in Orges is unusual and needs reading carefully. It normally means the flats sold recently were new or central, while the houses were older and priced mainly on their land. Up 2.5 percent in a year, Orges 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.
Over 25 years the median moved from CHF 4,400 to CHF 8,700 per m², a change of +98 percent. That is the market, not your property. A flat renovated in the meantime followed a different curve entirely. Lower prices in Orges 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.

Count on roughly CHF 6,200 per m² for a house in Orges. That rate applies to habitable surface, which leaves out the garage, the cellar and any unconverted attic, all of which add value but never at the same rate.
The dominant band in Orges is before 1919, which covers 35 percent of homes. Average size runs to 4.0 rooms, so the commune is built mainly for households rather than for single occupants or short stays.
