Madrid, Berlin and Paris set to lead prime property price growth in 2019

A proliferation of property market regulations, the rising cost of finance, uncertainty surrounding Brexit, and in some markets, a high volume of new prime supply, is weighing on prime prices across the world. But key European cities are bucking the trend for lower growth, and are leading the rankings with prices expected to rise by 6% in Madrid, Berlin, and Paris in 2019, according to the global forecast from international real estate firm Knight Frank. Prices are also forecast to rise by 5% in Miami, by 3% in Vancouver, by 2% in Los Angeles and Sydney, by 1% in Geneva, Melbourne, and London and remain flat in New York and Singapore.
