The apartment market in Annecy, in figures
The Annecy apartment trades around the apartment median of the survey, on a market both deep and tight: demand is permanent, driven by local employment, by cross-border executives who work in Geneva, forty-five minutes away, and choose to live on the French side, by Lyon and Paris families, by the entrepreneurs of the outdoor industry of which Annecy has become a capital, and by Swiss and Belgian buyers. Small floor areas in the centre fetch the highest price per square metre; large family apartments trade below the median, in Annecy-le-Vieux as in town.
What is rare: the open view over the lake and the peaks, the renovated apartment of character in Old Annecy, the top floor with a terrace in Annecy-le-Vieux. What gets checked: the exposure, because the eastern shore lives in the morning, the western shore in the evening, and the slopes bring shade early; the condition of the older buildings in the centre, charges and façade works included; parking and traffic around the lake in season. The market trades all year round: spring and early autumn are the most active windows, December and January sometimes open a margin.

Frequently asked questions
Buying an apartment in Annecy: your questions
An apartment in town or on the eastern shore of the lake: what is the gap?
The DVF survey for the 12 months to end of June 2026 gives a median of €5,100/m² for Annecy apartments, against €7,000/m² on the eastern shore (Veyrier, Menthon, Talloires) and €5,700/m² on the western shore (Sevrier, Saint-Jorioz, Duingt). The town sells services and life on foot; the eastern shore, the view and the morning sun, one scale above; the western shore, the sunset at an intermediate price. Home Select documents all three markets.
What should be checked before buying a lake-view apartment in Annecy?
The view and the exposure first: window by window, at the opposite hour to the listing’s, because a summer view says nothing about the January sun, and what the neighbour may build or plant in front. Then the co-ownership: minutes, actual charges, works voted, the lift in older buildings. The surveys are the seller’s responsibility; the buyer’s cooling-off period is ten days. Home Select checks these documents and leads the video pre-viewing with the seller’s agent before your single trip.
What does an apartment in Annecy cost?
The median stands at €5,100/m² across 1,556 sales recorded over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026). It is a market benchmark, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
How long does it take to buy in Annecy with a property finder?
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Annecy and on your availability: Home Select frames it at the brief, then holds it. Properties are first seen on video, and your decisive viewings are grouped into a single trip.
How do you reach off-market properties in Annecy?
Through the network and direct approach: Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Annecy, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Old Annecy and L’Impérial, then Annecy-le-Vieux and Albigny. That is often where the unfindable property is.
What are your fees for buying an apartment in Annecy?
Home Select, a property finder in Annecy, charges 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT) on the Exclusive offer, or 1.5% on the Confidential offer for projects of €2m and above. Home Select is paid on success only: nothing is due until you have bought.
