We do not price on instinct. We start from the sales actually signed in your commune, then adjust for what we see at your property: condition, the view, the energy rating (DPE), the co-ownership. You receive a written opinion of value, and you stay free.
The adviser who values your property is the one who will run the viewings and stay with you through to signature at the notaire. Choose yours by commune — each knows their own area, and also works across the rest of the region.
A specialist in this area, your adviser also works with you across the wider region.
Three minutes. Type of property, commune, floor area, and how to reach you. The more detail you give, the closer the first range will be.
The adviser for your area — Christine Ponchaud in Sallanches, Anne Marie Lambert in Passy, Maxime Chapelain in Les Houches and Saint-Gervais — calls to understand the property and your plans.
About an hour. We measure the floor areas and record condition, aspect, the view, the surveys, the service charges and the works to expect. That visit is the difference between an online estimate and a real valuation.
A price range, the comparable sales that justify it, and our recommended asking price. What you do with it is up to you: instruct us, wait, or take another opinion.
The figures below are not agency estimates: they are the median prices of sales recorded by the French tax authority in each commune. The median splits the market into two equal halves — far less misleading than an average, which a single exceptional chalet is enough to distort.
| Commune | Inhabitants | Apartments sold / year | Median apartment price | Houses sold / year | Median house price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sallanches | 17 319 | 238 | 145 660 € | 38 | 357 500 € |
| Passy | 10 856 | 80 | 179 167 € | 59 | 340 000 € |
| Chamonix-Mont-Blanc | 8 705 | 296 | 247 481 € | 64 | 830 000 € |
| Saint-Gervais-les-Bains | 5 755 | 225 | 136 292 € | 57 | 525 000 € |
| Megève | 2 893 | 172 | 321 250 € | 30 | 1 822 600 € |
Prices: Demandes de valeurs foncières (DGFiP, the French land-transaction register), transactions recorded as « Vente » (sale), 2018 to 2020 — the three most recent complete years in the public register. Population: INSEE official populations, 2023 edition (municipal population).
A gap of one to five between Passy and Megève, twenty minutes’ drive apart.
The spread is tighter: flats follow the resident market.
Two 70 m² apartments in the same street can be 25 % apart. Here is where that gap comes from, and why an online calculator cannot see it.
Since the phased ban on letting the least efficient homes, an F or G rating is negotiated on. A buyer now prices the works before making an offer.
An open view of the Mont-Blanc massif, a south-facing balcony: in this valley those are the two things that push offers up fastest.
Kitchen, bathroom, windows, roof. A buyer rarely deducts the real cost: they deduct the cost they imagine, which is usually more. Anticipating it heads off the negotiation.
Service charges, works voted through, the reserve fund, any proceedings under way. Repointing voted but not yet paid for changes an offer by several thousand euros.
Carrez (the legally measured floor area), habitable area, footprint, undeclared converted lofts: the gap between what is advertised and what is measured is common.
In Sallanches as in Chamonix, a closed garage or a private space adds clear value, particularly on properties intended for seasonal letting.
Both have their place, but not at the same moment. Here, honestly, is what each can and cannot do.
Instant and indicative. Useful for getting your bearings before you call anyone.
One visit, one document. This is the one you sell with.
Also published as structured data, so that Google and AI answer engines can quote these answers directly.
Yes, and with no obligation. The adviser comes out, inspects, then gives you a written opinion of value. You remain free not to instruct us, to sell privately, or to go to another agency.
We call you back within 24 working hours. The visit is arranged around you, usually within the week, and the written opinion of value reaches you two to three days later.
145 660 € across sales signed between 2018 and 2020, according to the tax authority’s land-transaction register. For a house the median is 357 500 €. These are signed prices: asking prices today are higher and depend heavily on the neighbourhood, the condition and the view.
Yes. The written opinion of value is routinely asked for by notaires and solicitors in probate, gifts, division of assets and divorce. Say so in the form and we adapt the document and its wording.
Yes. We currently hold seven building plots, as well as buildings and commercial premises. The reasoning is different — what can be built, services to the plot, yield — but the approach is the same.
If this is not the right moment to sell, we will tell you that too.
