Price per m² by Geneva district

Location remains the decisive factor in the value of your property. Prices per square metre in Geneva range from CHF 5’753 to CHF 22’148 depending on the locality, and properties in sought-after districts command markedly higher price levels.

Premium districts

• Collonge-Bellerive: CHF 13’700 to CHF 22’700/m² for high-end properties. A favoured district with direct access to the lake.
• Cologny: up to CHF 25’000/m² for properties with a lake view and private access. This area accounts for the highest-value transactions in the canton.

Residential districts

• Servette Petit-Saconnex and Grand-Saconnex: CHF 15’000 to CHF 23’900/m² depending on proximity to international organisations and transport.
• Carouge: CHF 14’500 to CHF 23’600/m², an area prized for its charm, its shops and its village-in-the-city atmosphere.
• Plainpalais Jonction: CHF 12’500 to CHF 16’000/m², a fast-changing district that attracts a young, dynamic clientele.
• Grottes Saint-Gervais and Pâquis Sécheron: CHF 12’000 to CHF 15’000/m², with upside potential linked to ongoing urban renovation.
• Saint-Jean Charmilles and Bâtie Acacias: price levels are lower, between CHF 11’000 and CHF 14’500/m², offering more accessible buying opportunities.

Rent in Geneva: how much does it cost?

According to the Cantonal Statistics Office (OCSTAT), the average monthly rent for an unregulated home in Geneva is CHF 1’387 for 3 rooms, CHF 1’676 for 4 rooms and CHF 2’008 for 5 rooms (excluding charges, as of May 2025). These rents remain under strong pressure: the vacancy rate was only 0.34% in 2025, one of the lowest in Switzerland.

Geneva property market trends

Understanding how prices evolve helps you optimise the timing of your transaction. Geneva market trends in 2026 confirm sustained upward momentum.

• According to RealAdvisor, condominium apartments (PPE) rose by around +2.6% over the 12 months to mid-2026. Prices per square metre in Geneva can fluctuate by 2 to 3% a year, sometimes nearly twice as much from one year to the next according to forecasts.
• The PwC Immospective study of May 2026 reports a quarterly rise of +3.4% for condominium apartments in Geneva, one of the strongest increases in Switzerland.
• Long-term price growth is considerable: since 2006, the median price per m² of condominium apartments on the open market (zones 1 and 2) has risen by more than 121%.
• The Geneva property market is shaped by a structural housing shortage. In 2022, only 49 new buildings were constructed in Geneva, against growing demand from a rising population.
• The vacancy rate in Geneva was 0.54% in 2024, an extremely low level that keeps pressure on prices.
• New supply continues to decline: the number of new homes completed fell from 3’456 in 2023 to around 2’133 in 2024 in the canton, according to data from Nessell.
• The abolition of the taxable imputed rental value on 1 April 2026 could influence buying behaviour and further support demand.

Factors that influence the price per m² of your property

Valuation requires in-depth expertise. The factors include the location and condition of the property, but many other criteria come into play. Our agency assesses all of these elements precisely.

• View of Lake Geneva, Mont-Blanc or the Jura: an open view of the lake or the mountains can add 20 to 30% compared with the district average. It is one of the criteria most valued by international clients.
• Proximity to public transport, international schools and global organisations: these amenities attract sustained demand, particularly on the right and left banks of the lake.
• Condition of the property, recent renovations and high-end fittings: an apartment renovated with prestige materials sells for significantly more than a comparable unrenovated property. New units on the open market in zones 1-2 sit at the top of the distribution.
• Outdoor space: a terrace, balcony, private garden or pool adds measurable value, particularly for houses and penthouses.
• Parking spaces and cellars: in central Geneva, these are rare and essential; their absence can lower the sale price.
• Floor area and number of rooms: paradoxically, small units in premium areas often cost more per m² (1 to 2.5-room properties sometimes reach CHF 20’000/m²), while large homes benefit from a form of economy of scale.
• Zoning: properties in a development zone (zone de développement, ZD PPE) with controlled prices show lower values than the open market, but their prices evolve differently, a point our agency helps you understand in order to invest in property in Geneva.
