In Sillingy, the average price stands at 4 245 €/m² for an apartment. This level reflects the strong pressure of the Annecy area, where the proximity of Annecy and Savoyard quality of life support demand. The stock mixes detached houses, chalets and apartment schemes spread between the centre and eighteen hamlets. The figure comes from DVF data, the transactions actually registered with notaries, and not from self-declared estimates. In a municipality of this size, where the number of annual sales stays limited, the average can vary from one period to another according to the nature of the properties traded.

The Sillingy market is pulled by the momentum of the Annecy area and by pressure from the cross-border Genevois. The population has grown almost sixfold since the early 1960s, the municipality moving from a rural profile to a built-up appearance. This growth has fed sustained demand from families looking for housing more affordable than in Annecy while staying close to the town and the lake. The relief, which strongly constrains building land, sustains scarcity and keeps prices high for a municipality of this size.
Accessibility strengthens this appeal: the A41 motorway and the RD 1508 quickly connect Annecy, while the Swiss border places the municipality in the orbit of cross-border workers, whose incomes feed demand. Quality of life, between the Mandallaz and Âge mountains and the proximity of Lake Annecy, adds to the attraction. These drivers combine with new supply limited by the relief. As in other medium-sized municipalities, the small number of annual sales calls for caution in reading averages, since a few transactions can move the figure shown.
Sillingy sits at a level close to La Balme-de-Sillingy, well above Rumilly, but below Annecy, which is more expensive.
The name Sillingy comes from a Germanic personal name. The form in villa Silingiaco appears in documents from the years 1029 to 1049, and Sillingiacus in 1039. The suffix in y continues the toponymic evolution in acum, common in the region, as for Annecy or Épagny. Around 1039, Sigibold gave the church of Sainte-Marie to the order of Cluny, which established a priory there. The municipality is organised around a centre and eighteen hamlets, on a slope between the Mandallaz mountain and the Montagne d'Âge, overlooking a marshland area.
Like all of Savoie, Sillingy was attached to France only in 1860, after the annexation plebiscite. In the 19th century, the municipality developed spa activity around the sulphurous springs of Bromines, while a fruitière, a cheese cooperative typical of the region, opened in 1890; it reopened its doors in 2023. This past mixes a farming vocation, the use of the waters and life in scattered hamlets. The Mandallaz mountain and the surrounding relief long limited the spread of building, concentrated on the best land and along the routes towards Annecy.
The territory also bears the mark of its active natural setting: an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 struck the municipality on 15 July 1996, followed by numerous aftershocks until 1998, linked to the Vuache fault. The population, for its part, has grown strongly: from 980 inhabitants in 1962, Sillingy has risen to 5 826 at the most recent census, the municipality moving from a rural character to an increasingly built-up appearance. Located eleven kilometres north-west of Annecy, served by the RD 1508 and the A41 motorway at junction 17, it enjoys quick access to the Annecy area.
The Sillingy market is aimed mainly at families and working people employed in the Annecy area, or even in the nearby Genevois. According to INSEE, the municipality has around 5 826 inhabitants and its stock is mostly made up of main residences, with a predominance of detached houses, without excluding a share of apartments tied to recent schemes. Owner-occupiers are well represented. Buyers frequently come from Annecy, where prices are higher, or are households working towards the Swiss border, drawn by a mountain setting, the proximity of the lake and quick motorway access. Demand, which is strong, meets a land supply constrained by the relief.
The average price in Sillingy stands at 4 245 €/m² for an apartment, according to DVF data drawn from sales registered with notaries. This average concerns a tight market, under the influence of the Annecy area. It covers varied properties, from the chalet to the recent apartment, spread between the centre and the hamlets. The actual price depends on floor area, condition, aspect and the view over the mountains, all decisive criteria in this part of Haute-Savoie.
Sillingy is made up of a centre and eighteen hamlets scattered across a slope, between the Mandallaz mountain and the Montagne d'Âge, above a marshland area. This layout creates varied atmospheres, from the village heart to more rural outlying settlements offering wide views. Recent schemes are concentrated near the centre and the main routes, while the hamlets keep more traditional housing. Choosing an area comes down to proximity to services versus the quiet of the heights.
Yes. The municipality lies eleven kilometres north-west of Annecy and quickly reaches the urban area via the RD 1508 and the A41 motorway, whose junction 17 is close by. Annecy station, about ten kilometres away, and Geneva-Cointrin airport, less than fifty kilometres away, round out this accessibility. This position, between the Annecy area and the Genevois, explains part of the property pressure, with many working people employed towards the Swiss border.
The detached house dominates the stock, a legacy of development through a village and hamlets, but the share of apartments is rising with the recent schemes built near the centre. This structure steers wide demand towards houses and chalets with outdoor space, much sought after by families. New apartments are the main alternative for a first purchase or for households working towards Annecy or Switzerland. The relief limits building land, which sustains lasting pressure on prices.
The proximity of Annecy, the appeal of the cross-border Genevois and a mountain setting between lake and mountains strongly support demand. The relief, by limiting buildable plots, sustains scarcity and pushes values upwards. Good motorway access further strengthens the appeal for working people employed towards Switzerland. Conversely, exposure to a known seismic hazard, recalled by the 1996 earthquake, remains marginal in purchase decisions. In a low-volume market, averages stay sensitive to the properties sold.
