In today’s global real estate market, $1 million can look very different depending on location.

In some of the world’s most expensive markets, that budget goes much less far. In Monaco, for example, $1 million buys about 16 square meters (roughly 172 square feet) — highlighting just how limited space can be at the top end of the market.

Other cities offer slightly more room. In Hong Kong, $1 million buys around 22.5 square meters, while in New York, it stretches to roughly 33.9 square meters.

Across global markets, luxury property prices have continued to rise, driven by factors such as location, lifestyle, and international mobility.

These differences offer a broader view of how real estate values can vary worldwide, even at the same price point.

Luxury real estate in most major markets around the world continues to become more expensive, as the wealthy grow wealthier and more mobile.
