The real estate market : on the rise<\/h2>\n
Following a period of stability between 2017 and 2019, property prices have risen by 15% since 2020<\/strong>. Average prices are now at around CHF 10,000 per square metre<\/strong>. They can reach up to CHF 14,000 in the chicest neighbourhoods, CHF\u00a020,000 in the old town, and peak at CHF\u00a030,000 along the waterfront.<\/strong> Among the most in-demand properties are villas and apartments with a balcony or garden. Expats and locals alike appreciate the peace and quiet of the left bank, preferably around Cologny, Vand\u0153uvres, Conches, Ch\u00eane-Bougeries, Collonges and on the quays. The development of public transport, including the CEVA<\/strong>, has added to the attraction of these outer suburbs, while still avoiding the aviation corridor between Versoix and Chancy.<\/p>\n \u201cMake sure to choose the right neighbourhood. Champel for its peace and quiet, for example, even though the arrival of the CEVA has tended to bring down the average age of the population. Eaux-Vives is popular with young people. Carouge has an arty bohemian feel yet while still staying chic.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNow\u2019s the time to make a move.\u201d<\/p>\n Recommendations<\/strong> \u201cThe property market is buoyant. Following the price hike, now\u2019s the time to sell for those looking for an advantageous transaction. At the same time, interest rates are starting to pick back up so you don't want to wait too long to buy.\u201d<\/p>\n The secret to Geneva<\/strong> \u201cTo avoid noise pollution, move away from the major road and air corridors.
