Veytaux, between Montreux and Villeneuve, has Chillon Castle within its boundaries on the shore of Lake Geneva, with its old village rising up the slope.
Flats in Veytaux change hands around CHF 11,500 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 272 communes measured in Vaud, Veytaux sits at position 18. The communes immediately above and below are the ones a buyer will actually compare against, far more than the cantonal average. Per square metre, a flat in Veytaux at CHF 11,500 costs more than a house at CHF 9,800. Large houses spread their price across surface nobody pays the full rate for (corridors, cellars, attic space under the eaves).
Up 2.6 percent in a year, Veytaux 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. The district test is the harder one. Veytaux comes out 5 percent from the Riviera-Pays-d'Enhaut median, measured against communes competing for the same buyers rather than against a whole canton with several markets in it. The largest band in Veytaux is before 1919, at 32 percent of homes. Buildings of that age were rarely insulated when built, so running costs and the cost of the works belong in the price you offer, not in a list for later.
The average home in Veytaux has 3.0 rooms for 85 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. Half the flats sold in Veytaux went above CHF 11,500 per m² and half below, which puts the commune 46 percent from the Vaud median. One exceptional sale barely moves a median, and that is why we use it instead of an average.
Over 25 years the median moved from CHF 3,600 to CHF 9,300 per m², a change of +158 percent. That is the market, not your property. A flat renovated in the meantime followed a different curve entirely. Transaction volume in Veytaux 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 Veytaux, 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.

Houses in Veytaux are valued around CHF 9,800 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 Veytaux is before 1919, which covers 32 percent of homes. Average size runs to 3.0 rooms, so the commune is built mainly for households rather than for single occupants or short stays.
