In Monaco, every square meter tells a story of prestige, scarcity, and long-term vision. In 2025, the Principality’s property market does more than remain stable — it continues to position itself among the world’s most coveted destinations, driven by steady international demand and an extremely limited supply.
A Compact Territory with a Dual Market
Across just two square kilometers, two complementary dynamics coexist:
The Resale Market: Monaco’s Foundation
The secondary market remains the primary entry point for most buyers, representing nearly 80% of annual transactions. It attracts both residents and investors looking for a secure and prestigious address.
In Monaco, “resale” does not mean outdated. Many existing properties combine exceptional locations with premium renovations, panoramic views, or generous outdoor spaces. Highly sought-after districts include Monte-Carlo, Larvotto, the Carré d’Or, and Fontvieille. From refined pieds-à-terre to family apartments and penthouses with terraces, quality resale properties continue to find buyers quickly.
New Developments: The Showcase of Ultra-Prime Real Estate
Alongside the resale market, a new generation of developments is reshaping Monaco’s luxury standards. The recent delivery of Mareterra and Bay House is a clear example. Together, they represent close to 180 new residential units, including seafront villas, premium apartments, and penthouses with exceptional views.
Although new-build transactions account for a smaller share in volume, they capture a dominant share of overall value. On average, a new property can reach up to six times the price of a resale unit, a reflection of the purchasing power and expectations of Monaco’s elite clientele.
A Market Driven by Scarcity and Selective Demand
Monaco evolves not through volume, but through exclusivity. The demand remains constant, but increasingly selective. Buyers typically seek:
-
A primary or secondary residence in a secure, prestigious environment
-
A rare and appreciating asset
-
A foothold in a stable, tax-efficient jurisdiction
In this context, properties offering sea views, outdoor spaces, high-end services, or prime locations gain even more value. New developments set the tone at the ultra-luxury level, while the resale market offers quicker access and strategic investment opportunities.
Key Market Indicators at a Glance
Without entering into excessive detail, several figures illustrate the current trend:
-
Approximately 466 residential transactions recorded recently
-
Around 365 sales on the resale market
-
About 100 new-build transactions, largely influenced by Mareterra and Bay House
-
New developments show significantly higher transaction values, driven by ultra-high-net-worth buyers
In 2025, the Principality records an average price of approximately €52,000 per m², reflecting a 44% increase over the past ten years and a 1.1% rise compared to 2024. The Larvotto district, with an average price of €97,563 per m², is pushing the limits of the market, while Monte-Carlo, at €53,000 per m², accounts for more than a third of resale transactions and remains the heart of Monaco’s real estate market. For a new property, buyers should anticipate an average budget of €36.4 million. (source Boursorama)
