Based on new data by global property consultant Knight Frank, surging inflation and constant mortgage rate hikes in 2023 have hobbled many mainstream property markets, worldwide. While many property markets have borne the brunt of this pain, property sales volumes, not home prices, have been the greatest casualty to date.
Based on Knight Frank's 2023 Global Waterfront Index, waterfront property generated a 118% premium on average around the world, down only marginally from 121% last year, as Sydney retains the top spot.
According to global property consultant Knight Frank, rents in global luxury residential markets are continuing to see strong growth. The Knight Frank Prime Global Rental Index rose by 8.5% in the 12 months to March 2023 this year - with rents in a majority of markets hitting new records.
Based on Knight Frank's latest Prime Global Cities Index (PGCI), which tracks prices in 46 leading prime markets worldwide, fell by 0.4% in the 12 months to the end of March 2023. This marks a sharp reversal from a peak of 10.1% growth in the fourth quarter of 2021.
