World’s Most Expensive Real Estate Markets
By Bianca Schlotterbeck; Posted March 6 2013
The number of High Net Worth Individuals - people with more than $30 million in investable assets – is forecast to rise by 95,000 over the next decade, according to wealth intelligence firm, Wealth-X. The result is that each year there are more people who want, and more importantly, can afford, luxury properties.
While demand is ever-rising, the stock of desirable locations remains virtually static, meaning capital inflows concentrate on a few hotspots, pushing prices upwards.
Knight Frank found locations in Asia-Pacific tended to be the biggest gainers, but old favorites such as London continue to perform well. Meanwhile, the biggest threat to property markets is their own popularity, as the lack of local affordability can become a political issue, prompting governments to impose cooling measures. Consequently, several areas in this list were subject to new regulations in 2012.
