Estate agency in Troinex (Genève)

The average price stands at around 13,800 CHF/m², with an indicative range of 12,144 to 15,456 CHF/m². The municipality is too small to yield reliable gaps from one hamlet to the next: on a villa, it is the plot, the exposure towards the Salève and the state of the building that make the value, not the address. Every property is valued individually.

In a villa market where every property is different, it is the one that values house by house rather than at the neighbourhood average. Rousseau 5 has been a Left Bank agency since 2012: we follow every transaction recorded in Troinex, a single broker handles your file from the first meeting to signature, and the valuation is free within 48 hours, with no commitment.

Around 95 days. This reflects the nature of the product — a villa buyer takes time to compare — rather than a difficult market. Correctly priced properties find their buyer; those listed too high settle in for the long haul and lose their novelty effect.

In three minutes on our online valuation page, or with a Rousseau 5 broker who visits free of charge within 48 hours. On a Troinex villa the visit is decisive: plot size, exposure, view of the Salève, the state of the outdoor areas and the extension potential weigh more than the living square metre itself.

The brokerage commission is discussed according to the property, the mandate and the support expected: there is no single rate. It is only due upon the successful sale, and it is set out in writing in the mandate.

Exclusivity is clearly preferable. In a municipality this size, a property listed by several agencies is spotted immediately and makes the seller look rushed. A single, targeted approach, addressed to the families already searching at the foot of the Salève, delivers better results.

The municipality applies 45 additional centimes, around the cantonal average. On resale, Geneva's IBGI applies according to the holding period (from 50% under 2 years to 2% beyond 25 years) — often the floor rate here, as villas pass down over decades. Our net-seller simulator works it out precisely.

Allow around 4% of the price: 3% registration duties, Land Registry fees and the notary's fees. These costs are paid on top of your equity.

An asbestos survey for any building predating 1991 — hence most of the 1960s–1980s villas and the village stock. Add the installation checks, the Land Registry extract and the plans. For a house with land, verifying plot boundaries and easements avoids bad surprises at the sale agreement.

It depends on the zone and the land-use ratio already reached on the plot. In a market where the land makes most of the value, documented extension potential can change the selling price noticeably — and its absence, if discovered late, can derail a transaction. We check this point before the sale.

Taxation of the gain is deferred: the heir takes over the deceased's holding period, which almost always leads to the floor IBGI rate of 2% on a family villa. Rousseau 5 assists estates with a neutral valuation and a discreet sale.

The average gross rental yield runs around 3.2%, with near-zero vacancy. Keeping a villa in a municipality where the land never renews itself is perfectly defensible; selling captures a 22% gain over five years. A broker works through both scenarios with you.

A sale without public advertising, reserved for qualified buyers. In a small municipality where every listing gets noticed, it is often the best approach: it protects the seller's confidentiality and avoids the wear of an advertisement that lingers.

The Troinex school is within the municipality, Place de la Mairie; the assigned secondary school is Drize, in Carouge. Bus 45 serves Troinex-Mairie, central Geneva is ten minutes by car and the Salève cable car a few minutes away, in neighbouring Veyrier. Hiking, paragliding and climbing start from the doorstep — that is what brings families here.

Veyrier to the east towards the Salève, Carouge to the north towards the city, Plan-les-Ouates to the west, Bardonnex to the south, and neighbouring France through the Croix-de-Rozon crossing. Veyrier, Carouge and Plan-les-Ouates each have their own dedicated market page.
