2025-02-10
Monaco Real Estate Market 2024: A Record-Breaking Year – Full Overview
Monaco's real estate market in 2024 set new records in both new property sales and resale values, reaffirming the Principality’s status as one of the most exclusive and competitive real estate markets in the world. With 159 newly completed apartments, an all-time high transaction value of €3.7 billion in new sales, and a record-breaking price per square meter of €51,967, the market remains highly attractive to ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) looking for premium properties.
However, while new property sales surged, resale transactions declined for the second consecutive year (-5.9%), making luxury apartments in Monaco even more exclusive. Monte-Carlo continues to dominate, with more than one-third of all resale transactions occurring in this iconic district.
For real estate investors, buyers, and sellers, understanding the latest trends is crucial. In this in-depth Monaco real estate market overview, we analyze the key takeaways from the Observatoire de l’Immobilier 2024 report to provide insights into sales trends, resale values, and price evolution across Monaco’s prime districts.

1.2 Unprecedented Volume of Sales
- 101 transactions in new developments were recorded—an all-time high since the real estate observatory began in 2006.

1.4 Price Trends in New Sales

2.1 Declining Number of Transactions

2.3 Stability in Resale Market Value
- The total value of resale transactions remained steady at €2.2 billion, indicating that lower transaction volume did not significantly impact market strength.

Conclusion: What This Means for Investors & Buyers in 2025
The Monaco real estate market remains one of the most stable and valuable investment options globally, with:

For potential buyers and investors, securing prime properties in Monaco remains a highly competitive endeavor. The scarcity of properties and continued demand from international investors will likely sustain price growth in 2025 and beyond.
