Why Monaco Remains Safe Luxury Real Estate Investment in 2025
In a Changing World, Monaco Stays Steady
In 2025, with interest rate hikes, political uncertainty, and market corrections dominating headlines, many luxury real estate investors are asking the same question: Where is it safe to put my money? The answer, increasingly, is Monaco.
Known for its glamour and tax-friendly laws, the Principality has become much more than a playground for the ultra-wealthy, it’s now viewed as a financial safe haven with concrete real estate advantages.
1. A Micro-Market Defined by Scarcity
Monaco spans just 2.1 square kilometres, making it the second-smallest country in the world. What does this mean for property buyers? In short: value through rarity.
While cities like New York or London can expand or redevelop to meet demand, Monaco simply can’t. Every square metre is accounted for, and the government strictly controls new construction. In 2025, even Monaco’s newest developments, like Testimonio II, had more buyers than available units months before completion.
This persistent scarcity has kept Monaco’s property prices resilient, even during global slowdowns.
Key Data:
- Average resale price: €52,000/m²
- New-builds: up to €65,000/m²

2. High Demand from a Global Elite
While many real estate markets cool due to economic uncertainty, demand in Monaco remains remarkably strong especially from international buyers. From European entrepreneurs to Middle Eastern investors and American digital nomads, Monaco continues to attract those looking for political neutrality, safety, and status.
It’s also a practical choice: the Principality offers no income tax for residents, world-class healthcare, elite education options, and arguably the most secure urban environment in Europe.
3.No Capital Gains Tax, No Surprises
One of Monaco’s most underrated advantages? The lack of capital gains tax on property sales (for individuals). Combined with no wealth tax, this creates a clear financial picture for investors looking for long-term growth and flexibility.
Unlike in France, the UK, or the US — where gains can be taxed at over 30% - Monaco’s system allows you to build and exit your real estate portfolio without excessive penalties.
4. Stable Prices, Low Volatility
The luxury markets in cities like San Francisco, Dubai, and Hong Kong have seen sharp swings in recent years. But Monaco? Slow, steady, and upward.
Even during the pandemic years, Monaco’s prime real estate saw only a minor dip and fully rebounded by late 2023. In 2025, the Principality’s property market continues to be one of the most stable in the world, thanks to limited inventory and high liquidity among buyers.

5. Prestige That Outlasts Trends
Let’s not forget what Monaco represents: elegance, tradition, and timeless appeal. From the Formula 1 Grand Prix to its Michelin-starred restaurants and world-class marinas, Monaco is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle asset.
Unlike newer hotspots that might fade with time, Monaco’s brand is deeply entrenched. Its prestige cannot be replicated or disrupted by trends. When you invest in property here, you’re investing in a legacy of luxury that continues to appreciate- financially and culturally.
Why Investors Choose Monaco in 2025:
- Guaranteed scarcity — no risk of oversupply
- High demand from global elite buyers
- No income or capital gains tax
