London's Mayfair Now Has Highest Multifamily Price/SF, But Manhattan Still Costs More Overall

Mayfair London

London’s Mayfair neighborhood surpassed Manhattan as the most expensive market in terms of price per square foot, according to a new report by London-based luxury residential brokerage Beauchamp Estates. The average Mayfair ultra-prime home now costs £3,853/SF while Manhattan lags at £3,575/SF.

Manhattan is still more expensive overall, averaging £21.5M for an ultra-prime home, compared to Mayfair’s £18.4M.

Beauchamp Estates’ report notes that demand for ultra-prime residential property remains solid and the population of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, defined as having a net worth of at least $50M, is expected to increase.

“Our view is that 2017 will not bring any dramatic swings in values, rather it will be a year in which buyers and sellers remain calm and measured,” the report said.
