Monaco also ranks as the most expensive location to rent residential property globally. The average rent of L126 per square metre per month and is +60% higher than New York, the second most expensive location in the Savills World Cities Index.
Within February 2019-2020, rental values in Monaco increased 20% across all property types. As in sale properties, rental properties in Monaco saw a large increase in demand for 4+ bedroom properties.
Promised new property units in the pipeline are fewer than need or demand call for. Land, space and properties are all extremely limited. Such supply constrictions ensure that real estate prices in Monaco will continue to be stable and the highest in the world.
