Swixim Sallanches works with owners and buyers across the Arve valley and the Pays du Mont-Blanc: a valuation you can check, wide exposure, qualified viewings, and one adviser from the first meeting through to signing at the notaire — the public officer who completes every property sale in France.
A specialist in this area, your adviser also works with you across the wider region.
Our office is in Sallanches, but we cover and sell across the whole of the Arve valley and the Pays du Mont-Blanc: Passy and Chedde, Sallanches, Saint-Gervais and Le Fayet, Servoz, Les Houches and Chamonix.
Median prices from sales actually recorded, from the least expensive commune to the most expensive. We work principally in the lower valley, where the ratio of space to price remains the most favourable.
This is the trade-off more and more buyers are making: stay in the Pays du Mont-Blanc, but move a few kilometres down the valley and double the floor area.
We are present across all six communes, with a clear specialisation in the lower valley. Chamonix appears here as a market benchmark: it is the price our buyers measure everything against.
Each commune now has its own dedicated page, with the detail of sales, prices and available properties.
Sources: Demandes de valeurs foncières (DGFiP, the French land-transaction register), 2024-2025 sales, median prices per square metre; official INSEE populations. Chedde is part of Passy and Le Fayet part of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains: the public register does not go below commune level.
A price set badly costs months, and in the end it costs money. We start from the sales actually signed in your street, not from a percentage applied at random.
In Sallanches, only 38 houses are sold on average each year across the whole commune. Our job is to tell you first — and to tell you when a property is not worth its asking price.
Prices, floor areas, references and advisers come from the agency software and update automatically.
Swixim is a network of independent advisers present in several European countries. In practical terms, for you: a single point of contact on the ground, and a property seen well beyond the valley.
The person who values your property is the one who runs the viewings and stays with you through to signature. No file changing hands.
We show you the comparable sales that justify the price we propose, even when it is lower than you hoped.
A share of buyers in the Pays du Mont-Blanc come from other regions or from abroad. The Swixim network puts us in touch with them.
Sallanches, Passy, Domancy, Magland, Le Fayet, Marnaz, Les Houches, Chamonix and Megève: we work the area, not a single street.
Sallanches occupies a rare position in the Arve valley: the town concentrates the services — hospital, TER railway station, secondary schools, large retail, business park — while staying around twenty minutes from Megève and from Chamonix alike. That explains the structure of its market: a great many apartments, lived in year-round by people working in the valley, and a limited number of houses, which are much sought after.
The commune has 17 319 inhabitants in the 2023 edition of the INSEE census. That size supports rental demand: the reference rent reached 15,52 € per m² per month for an apartment in 2025 (French Ministry of Housing).
Around Sallanches, each commune has its own market. The median price of a house sold is 340 000 € in Passy, 525 000 € in Saint-Gervais, 830 000 € in Chamonix and 1 822 600 € in Megève — for communes twenty minutes’ drive apart. So we publish an analysis commune by commune rather than a valley average, which means nothing.
These questions and answers are also published as structured data, so that Google and AI answer engines can quote them directly.
There is no useful average price: a town-centre apartment, a house with land and a chalet with a view do not sit in the same bracket. To give an order of magnitude, the median asking price across our ten properties currently for sale in Sallanches is 575 000 €, around 5 070 € per square metre — on a small sample, and on floor areas above the commune average. The public register of signed sales exists, but its most recent available years are too old to serve as a benchmark for a seller today. The only reliable answer for a specific property remains a written valuation, free and without obligation.
Around 276 homes a year on average over 2018-2020: 238 apartments and 38 houses, plus some thirty plots, outbuildings and commercial units. Sallanches is an active market, but one clearly dominated by apartments.
Yes, the valuation is free and places you under no obligation. An adviser comes out, inspects the property, then gives you a written opinion of value together with the comparable sales used to reach it. You remain free not to instruct us.
Sallanches and the whole of the Pays du Mont-Blanc and the mid Arve valley: Passy, Domancy, Magland, Le Fayet, Marnaz, Cluses, Combloux, Cordon, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, Megève, Les Houches, Servoz and Chamonix-Mont-Blanc.
Across the 74 agency sales for which we know the signature date, the median is 147 days, a little under five months between the day the property is taken on and signature at the notaire. That timescale depends above all on the starting price: a property valued correctly goes markedly faster than one put on too high and then reduced twice. Your adviser will give you a realistic range for your own property at the valuation.

A fifteen-minute call is often enough to know whether now is the right moment to sell — or whether it is better to wait.
