The market is balanced between apartments and houses, whose average price reaches 4 067 €/m², in an area carried by the closeness of the lake and of Switzerland. The value of a property depends on its closeness to the lake and to the routes towards Geneva, on its condition, its aspect and the presence of outdoor space or a view.

The Sciez market remains supported by the appeal of the lakeside and by cross-border incomes, which sustain steady demand for properties close to Lake Geneva and well connected towards Geneva.
The strength of the municipality lies in its frontage on Lake Geneva, its harbour and its closeness to Switzerland. The limit lies in a scarce and much-contested lakeside supply and in already high prices, driven by competition from cross-border buyers.
Sciez lies between Thonon-les-Bains and Geneva, at a level close to the neighbouring Lake Geneva municipalities of the Chablais.
Sciez is a former municipality of the Savoyard Chablais, long turned towards farming, fishing and the life of Lake Geneva that borders its territory.
Its position between Thonon-les-Bains and Geneva, along with the rise of cross-border work towards Switzerland, gradually turned the municipality into a sought-after residential hub.
It today has about 6 400 inhabitants and combines a lakeside fringe on Lake Geneva, with its harbour and its beaches, a lively town centre and a hinterland of Chablais slopes and countryside.
With about 6 400 inhabitants, Sciez attracts families, cross-border workers employed in Switzerland and buyers won over by the setting of Lake Geneva. Both the house with a garden and the apartment with a view or close to the lake are sought after, in a market supported by cross-border incomes. Buyers appreciate the closeness of the lake and its activities, quick access to Geneva and to Thonon, and a setting between water and mountains. Demand mixes cross-border workers, families and buyers drawn by the quality of lakeside life.
The average apartment price in Sciez is 3 978 €/m², based on the notaries' DVF transactions. Houses sell on average at around 4 067 €/m², at a level close to apartments. These values vary with closeness to the lake, the view and the condition of the property.
The municipality benefits from its position on Lake Geneva and from the closeness of Switzerland. The incomes of cross-border workers and the appeal of the lakeside support steady demand, both for main residences and for holiday properties.
Yes. Cross-border work towards Geneva brings high incomes that support demand and prices across the Lake Geneva Chablais. Sciez benefits directly, with a tight market for properties close to the lake and well served by transport.
Closeness to the lake and the view are decisive: a property close to the water or with an open view over Lake Geneva gains in value. Quick access to Geneva and to Thonon, as well as the presence of outdoor space, also count in the assessment of a dwelling.
The average price of 3 978 €/m² gives a benchmark, but every dwelling deserves a detailed valuation taking account of its floor area, its closeness to the lake, its condition and its location. Immover relies on real DVF sales to offer you a free and suitable valuation.
