The Lake Geneva region is the most expensive place to buy a family home with an average price of CHF 1.5m.
The most expensive communes to buy in are Cologny, Chene-Bougeries and Collonge-Bellerive.
The study by homegate.ch shows house prices in the most popular areas of the country are up nearly 3.5% - a much steeper climb than apartments, which are up only half a percent.
But again, the Lake Geneva region shows much stronger growth with prices up more than 4% - rising twice as fast as Zurich.
