A tiny commune wedged between Pully and Lutry, Paudex touches the lake at the gates of Lausanne.
Flats in Paudex change hands around CHF 13,700 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. A gap of 49 percent over the Vaud median is not statistical noise. It measures what buyers accept to pay for the location itself, and it holds through the cycle instead of appearing in one strong year.
Paudex ranks 2 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. Houses carry a premium of 7 percent per square metre over flats in Paudex, CHF 14,600 against CHF 13,700. Households buying a house here are mostly trading up from a flat nearby, so demand holds even when volumes drop.
Flat prices in Paudex are up 3.1 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 Lavaux-Oron district the gap comes to 30 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. No single period defines Paudex, though 1946-1960 leads with 16 percent. That mix works in a buyer's favour, since you can choose between period character and low running costs without leaving the commune.
Average size in Paudex is 101 m² across 3.5 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. The median flat in Paudex comes out at CHF 13,700 per m², a gap of 49 percent against the Vaud median. That figure covers every flat sold, whatever the floor, the age of the building or the state of the kitchen.
The 25-year record opens at CHF 3,700 and closes at CHF 10,300, +178 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. Transaction volume in Paudex 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 Paudex, 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.
