According to the
Knight Frank report, in the last quarter of 2024, global luxury real estate markets showed steady growth, recording an average annual price increase of 3.2%. This is the highest figure since the beginning of the year when the index reached 4.1% among the 44 largest cities in the world.
Dubai ranked third with a 16.9% price increase.
Tokyo and Nairobi closed the top five, showing increases of 12.7% and 8.3%, respectively.
Out of the 44 cities included in the study, 34 demonstrated positive dynamics, while 10 faced price declines.
According to Liam Bailey, Global Head of Research at Knight Frank, the reduction of interest rates has become less predictable due to persistent inflation in developed countries. However, the expected monetary easing in 2025 may trigger even greater price growth in the premium segment.
