The Italian city of Lucca has emerged as a top performer in Tuscany's luxury real estate market, with property prices soaring 27% over the past five years, according to a new report from global property consultancy Knight Frank.
According to HVS' annual Hotel Valuation Index (HVI), hotel values in Europe saw a consistent 2.0% increase in 2024, driven by lower interest rates, modest RevPAR growth, and sustained demand for European travel from international visitors.
According to Knight Frank's latest Prime Global Cities Index, the growth of prime residential property prices worldwide is slowly gaining momentum. The annual growth rate climbed in the final quarter of 2024, reaching 3.2%. Although this marks an improvement from the previous quarter, it remains below the 20-year average of 5.3%.
Based on Knight Frank's newly released Global Super-Prime Intelligence Report, a slowdown in luxury residential sales of properties priced over $10 million occurred across 12 major global cities during the three months leading up to September 2024.
