Historic Record Breaking Mega-Sale in Monaco — an apartment between 100 million and a billion euros
Contrary to all expectations the real estate market is unexpectedly buoyant in and around Monaco especially at the luxury end . One of the dominant real estate agencies has revealed in the press a mega-sale of an apartment in the Principality for over 100 million euros . Confidentiality written into the sales agreement means the exact figure cannot be disclosed but it is anywhere between 100 million and 1 billion euros ! John Taylor has let it be known in the press that it is the biggest sale in its history and it is not even on the sea-shore . It is not surprising that two years ago , with the advent of Covid , doom and gloom was forecast for the real estate market . Yet sales are reportedly recovering in certain sectors , compared to 2018 and 2019 . Monaco itself is more than holding its own , its attractiveness having perceived to increase during Covid . More and more young families are reported to be settling in , livening up the streets where the population is getting younger and adding growth to the schools . Safe , stable and globally secure and close to Nice airport … it ’ s a recipe that continues to be appetizing .
