The average price per m² for an apartment in each district of Annecy covered by Immover, ranked from the most expensive to the most affordable.
The Annecy market is one of the most expensive in provincial France, outside Paris and the coast. It saw a sharp rise up to 2022, driven by the lifestyle of the lake and the proximity of the Geneva area, followed by a stabilisation. Over five years the increase stands at around 8 %, with some districts rising and others slipping slightly over the last twelve months.
Its distinctive feature is the scale of the gaps between districts, inherited from the 2017 merger: the eastern hillsides and the lakeshores exceed 6 000 €/m², while the former municipalities to the west and south remain more affordable. Alongside the apartment market, the market for houses trades noticeably higher, a sign of the scarcity of buildable land in the Annecy basin.
With an average price around 5 248 €/m², Annecy sits below Paris, Nice and Lyon, but well above most regional cities such as Toulouse, Nantes or Montpellier. It is one of the most expensive markets in provincial France, outside Paris and the coast.
Annecy is the prefecture of Haute-Savoie, at the foot of the Alps, at the northern tip of its lake. Nicknamed the Venice of the Alps, its old town is laid out around the Thiou and its canals, dominated by the Palais de l'Isle, a former fortified house and twelfth-century prison set on an islet, and by the château that overlooks the rooftops. The cobbled lanes, the arcades and the colourful facades make it one of the most visited historic centres in France.
The present-day municipality is a commune nouvelle (a merged municipality), created in 2017 by the merger of Annecy with Annecy-le-Vieux, Cran-Gevrier, Meythet, Pringy and Seynod. This union brought together under a single name very different areas: the historic heart and its lakeshores, the residential hillsides to the east below the Mont Veyrier, the former municipalities to the west along the Fier, and the southern districts around Seynod. The lakeside, from the Pâquier to the Impérial beach in Albigny, and the greenway that circles the lake, shape the life of the town.
This combination of remarkable heritage, one of the purest lakes in Europe and a mountain setting sustains strong and lasting demand. The proximity of Geneva, the local economic momentum and the quality of life attract a population reaching well beyond Haute-Savoie. Property prices are among the highest of provincial towns.
The Annecy market attracts families, executives and workers employed in Annecy or in the Geneva area, as well as buyers looking for a second home by the lake. Demand focuses on apartments close to the centre and the lake, and on houses in the hillsides and the former municipalities. The scarcity of land, the quality of life and the proximity of the Swiss border sustain prices among the highest in provincial France.
The average price in Annecy is 5 248 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 4 140 to 6 057 €/m² depending on the district. Listing portals show asking prices, 10 to 20 % above the prices actually recorded at signing.
No, the gaps are marked. Mont-Veyrier, Annecy-le-Vieux and the Vieille Ville exceed 6 000 €/m², while the former municipalities to the west and south, such as Meythet, Seynod or Cran-Gevrier, sit between 3 500 and 4 500 €/m². Proximity to the lake, the historic centre and the hillsides is the main factor behind the gaps.
Annecy combines one of the purest lakes in Europe, a remarkable historic centre, a mountain setting and the proximity of Geneva and its employment area. Land is scarce and demand is strong, which makes it one of the most expensive markets in provincial France, outside Paris and the coast.
The market has risen by about 8 % over five years, with a sharp increase up to 2022 followed by a stabilisation. Over the last twelve months prices are broadly stable across the municipality, with contrasting changes depending on the district.
The municipal average is not enough: you have to start from your district's price, then adjust for proximity to the lake, the view, the floor and the condition of the property. The Immover estimator draws on the actual sales closest to your address.
