Located at the foot of the exceptional Mont-Blanc site, on the border between Switzerland and Italy, the commune of Chamonix is a very popular destination for mountain lovers and buyers. Your Mont Blanc Invest agency will be pleased to present you with price trends.
What are the real estate market prices in Chamonix?
The Chamonix market has been dynamic for several years now, with a price increase over the last two years: "The 10,000 € per square metre mark has been passed for at least 12 months for properties in very good condition with a Mont Blanc view" says Jean-François Bouillier.
Exceptional properties, i.e. combining the perfect location in a sought-after area, the view and top-of-the-range amenities, reach values of between €12,000 and €13,000 per square metre.
"It should be noted, however, that the price per square metre remains a delicate metric. Indeed, many factors can be taken into account: location, neighbourhood, orientation, state of maintenance, floor or surface area of the land are all factors that lead to a precise price. "This is why the intervention of a professional remains the best solution for estimating the price of a property in Chamonix. Nevertheless, certain trends are emerging:
- The Savoy district between 7500 and 13 000 € / m².
- The Praz area between 7 000 and 12 000 € / m².
- The Chamonix South sector which can go up to 7 500 € / m².
Should you invest in Chamonix ?
According to Jean-François Bouillier, "The attraction for Chamonix remains important and stable. Its location at the foot of Mont-Blanc, its proximity to Italy and Switzerland, and Geneva airport 60 minutes away make it one of the most important winter sports resorts in the entire Alpine arc. “
The Chamonix real estate market has been strongly supported for several years by French buyers who, most of the time, purchase a second home for their stays in Chamonix, but which is also intended for rental for part of the year.
The quality of its ski area and off-piste skiing, the altitude reached by its ski lifts also contribute to keeping Chamonix in the Top 10 European resorts: "Buyers will therefore always be present. Selling your apartment to buy bigger is currently easy without, most of the time, needing a bridging loan. " With the help of a professional, it is possible to quickly find a buyer for one's property at the right price, which allows you to quickly find a new, more spacious home.
What is Chamonix's international reputation ?
Chamonix has a worldwide reputation and is highly appreciated by the French and a large international clientele : "The consequences of Brexit are much less important than some media or the uninitiated would have us believe. Clients from Switzerland and Scandinavia are also regular buyers of real estate in Chamonix. This has been the case for several decades. "Jean-François Bouillier comments. "In recent years, some of our clients have come from the United States, but also from Mexico, Thailand and South Africa. This reflects the cosmopolitan aspect of Chamonix. “
Is it time to sell ?
Historically low interest rates combined with the low attractiveness of banking products have led the French to turn to real estate investment. A solution that guarantees them a good rental return, as well as a possible capital gain on resale.
"Chamonix is, and therefore will remain, a popular destination with a property market favourable to sellers, even if buyers do not buy at any value. With supply falling short of demand, buyers looking for a property to buy are very seasoned. They know how to recognize what is scarce and what is expensive on the market. " That's why it's important to value your property at the right price.
