The latest research by Jefferies London has revealed that Monaco, Geneva and Singapore are currently the most active markets when it comes to super prime homeseller activity, whilst London sits seventh in the list of 17 global hotspots analysed by the firm.

Jefferies London analysed current market listings across 17 global prime property hotspots, looking at current market listings and what proportion of these listings was listed for sale at the equivalent of £3m or above based on current exchange rates.

The results provide a clear view of global prime property activity, shedding light on where sellers are most actively engaging with the market.

The research shows that Monaco stands out as the most active market, with 56.7% of its available listings priced at £3 million or more.

Geneva follows closely with 40.7%, while Singapore reports 21.2% of its listings at the prime price point.

Other prominent markets, including Los Angeles (10.2%) and New York (7.5%) also show significant prime property availability,

The London property market, a longstanding prime property hub, currently sits seventh in the rankings where 5.6% of available listings are priced at £3 million or more.

While this figure represents a smaller proportion compared to other prime global markets like Monaco and Geneva, Jefferies London believes that London’s prime property market remains a focal point for both domestic and international buyers, driven by its position as a global financial and cultural centre.

Damien Jefferies, Founder of Jefferies London, commented:

“The global economic landscape may be turbulent at best, but we continue to see real estate at the very top tiers of the global market change hands and, as our research shows, Monaco, Geneva and Singapore are driving seller activity across the prime market at present.

Whilst some areas are seeing stronger levels of buyer activity than others, the appeal of these markets remains timeless and, whilst market values may ebb and flow, they will always maintain their appeal amongst those looking to purchase in the most exclusive markets in the world.”
