It's the right time to sell or rent your property in Thonon
The rental market in Thonon-les-Bains is in constant evolution. This city located in Haute-Savoie, on the shores of Lake Geneva, has a strong demand for rental housing.
Thonon attracts many cross-border workers because of its proximity to the Swiss border and job opportunities in Switzerland, as well as for its pleasant living environment and its many tourist and leisure activities.
The rental market in Thonon is mainly composed of small apartments, such as studios and two-room apartments. These units are mainly sought after by students, young professionals, couples without children and the elderly. Rents vary depending on the location, the quality of the housing and the supply and demand. On average, the rent for a studio apartment is €500 per month and for a one-bedroom apartment, it is about €700 per month.
The most sought-after neighborhoods for renting an apartment are the downtown area, the station area and the Rive area. These areas are very popular because they offer easy access to shops, public transportation and local services.
Cross-border workers in Thonon-les-Bains can use several means of transportation to get to Switzerland, including:
1. Car: many border workers prefer to use their own car to go to Switzerland, as it offers them more flexibility and comfort. Border workers are not afraid to carpool, as this can reduce costs and carbon footprint.
2. Train: the city has a train station that allows border workers to take the train to Switzerland. The railway line that connects Thonon-les-Bains to Geneva and other Swiss cities is "Le CEVA" (Cornavin-Eaux-Vives-Annemasse). It is a rail link project that connects the Cornavin train station in Geneva (Switzerland) to the city of Annemasse (France) via the Eaux-Vives train station in Geneva, ending its run in Evian-les-Bains. "CEVA" is the central part of the railway network the "Léman Express". It was inaugurated in December 2019, after more than 6 years of work. CEVA offers a convenient and fast alternative for border workers who wish to travel to Switzerland from France or vice versa, avoiding traffic jams and road traffic constraints. The travel time between Thonon and Geneva has been considerably reduced thanks to CEVA.
3. Bus: several bus companies offer regular connections between Thonon-les-Bains and the neighboring Swiss cities.
4. Boat: the boats of the CGN (Compagnie Générale de Navigation sur le lac Léman) offer connections between Thonon-les-Bains in France and Lausanne in Switzerland. The boat connection between Thonon and Lausanne can be particularly interesting for cross-border commuters working on both sides of the French-Swiss border. The regular schedule and the relatively short travel time make it a convenient and economical transportation option. In addition, the boats offer an unobstructed view of Lake Geneva, which can make the trip more pleasant. Finally, the fares offered by CGN are competitive with other transportation options, which can be particularly attractive to cross-border workers who need to travel regularly between the two countries.
The real estate market of the rent in Thonon-les-Bains is tense, indeed the demand for rental housing in Thonon is higher than the offer. It is therefore difficult to find a rental property quickly, especially during periods of high demand. This can also lead to an increase in rental prices.
To overcome this problem, the city of Thonon-les-Bains has set up several measures to promote access to housing for all. For example, it has created a social real estate agency to help people with financial difficulties to find decent housing. It has also set up a rental assistance scheme for students.
Finally, it is important to note that the rental market in Thonon-les-Bains is very seasonal. During the summer period, the demand for rental housing increases considerably due to the influx of tourists. As a result, rental prices can vary significantly depending on the season.
In conclusion, the rental market in Thonon-les-Bains is dynamic and attractive, and the high demand has also led to a shortage of housing, which makes the rental market very tense and the rental prices relatively high. In this context, it is therefore the right time to rent or sell your property. Apartment or house owners can take advantage of this opportunity to sell or rent their property quickly and at attractive prices.
