Although there is a general increase in the price per square metre in Monaco, there has been a drop in sales of new properties or resales of properties in the Principality, offset by the increase in the cumulative amount of transactions by 4.4% to reach 2.8 billion euros (Increase of average price: +88% for sales and +12% for resales).

The sales (of new properties) and resales market follows a different evolution:

 
Price per square metre in the Principality of Monaco in 2019
The price per square metre in the Principality of Monaco continues to rise, although there are inverse fluctuations depending on the district.

Monte Carlo remains the most expensive district despite a drop of 5.9% since 2018, with a price per square metre of 53,042€.


The property sales market in the Principality of Monaco in 2019 (new properties)
A pronounced decline in the number of property sales (-54%) can be observed over the period 2018-19, which is explained by the low number of apartment deliveries in contrast to 2018.

However, this drop in the number of properties sold is offset by higher prices: 1/3 of sales in 2019 concerned properties worth more than 5 million euros, compared with less than 20% in 2018.  The median price is also increasing: one out of every two sales is above 3.4 million euros, compared to 3.1 in 2018.


The property resale market in the Principality of Monaco in 2019
Once again a more moderate fall in the number of resales of 4.9% compared to 2018 is noted, offset by the increase in the amount of resales of 6.4% explained by the large number of villas sold (for real estate promotions in most cases, but this is the highest number recorded since 2010).

1 out of 7 transactions in 2019 was over 10 million euros, and there has been an almost constant decline in the share of transactions of less than 5 million since 2010.
