Between Lausanne and Renens, Prilly benefits fully from the transformation of Malley, one of the largest urban projects in French-speaking Switzerland.
At CHF 11,600 per m² for a flat, Prilly 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. Paying 26 percent more than the cantonal median buys location, not floor space. The same budget moved to a neighbouring commune would typically add a room, and that is the trade most buyers here have already made. Position 16 of 132 in Vaud puts Prilly 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.
Flats in Prilly cost more per square metre than houses, CHF 11,600 against CHF 9,900. That points to a compact, well-served centre where small units are in demand, while the houses that sold sit further out on larger plots. Up 2.9 percent in a year, Prilly 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.
Against the l'Ouest lausannois district the gap comes to 4 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. 24 percent of the housing in Prilly dates from 1946-1960. 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.
The average home in Prilly has 2.9 rooms for 70 m². That ratio describes the shape of local demand better than the price does: many small rooms point to family housing, fewer and larger ones to conversions and new build. The median flat in Prilly comes out at CHF 11,600 per m², a gap of 26 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. Over 25 years the median moved from CHF 3,800 to CHF 9,600 per m², a change of +153 percent. That is the market, not your property: a flat renovated in the meantime followed a different curve entirely.
Prilly 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. In Prilly the difference between two flats on the same street can run into six figures. Getting your own number, rather than reading the commune median, is what makes that difference visible before you set a price.

Value my property →The median flat in Prilly is priced at CHF 11,600 per m². That puts the commune 26 percent from the Vaud median, a gap explained in part by the age of the local stock and in part by how little land is left to build on.
Houses in Prilly are valued around CHF 9,900 per m² of living space. The plot weighs heavily on that figure, so two houses of identical size can be far apart in price if one has land around it and the other has none.
The dominant band in Prilly is 1946-1960, which covers 24 percent of homes. Average size runs to 2.9 rooms, so the commune is built mainly for households rather than for single occupants or short stays.
