From China to the United States, from Morocco to Italy, not forgetting Greece or the United Arab Emirates: luxury real estate extends to all corners of the planet. A unique opportunity to own a waterfront villa in Marbella, a luxurious penthouse in Manhattan, or a splendid Riad in Marrakech. These prestigious properties and sought-after locations offer numerous opportunities in terms of international luxury real estate.
The market for luxury real estate international has been steadily growing for several years, driven by economic and sociological factors. Buyers are increasingly searching for prestigious properties in exceptional locations, whether to live in, spend their holidays in, or make a rental investment. In this context, Michaël Zingraf Real Estate provides access to a unique selection of luxury properties, and our team of luxury real estate experts can meet the specific expectations of wealthy clients looking to invest in France or internationally.
In recent years, several major trends have marked the international luxury real estate market. Among them:
Buyers of luxury properties attach particular importance to the location of their acquisition. Destinations such as the French Riviera, the Balearic Islands in Spain, or Dubai in the United Arab Emirates are among the favorites of these affluent clients. These regions offer an exceptional living environment, with a pleasant climate, preserved natural surroundings, and infrastructure tailored to a high-end clientele (marinas, golf courses, Michelin-starred restaurants, and luxury boutiques).
Buyers of luxury properties are also demanding in terms of architecture and interior design. They seek properties with character, distinguished by their unique design and high-end amenities (swimming pool, spa, home theater, etc.). Michaël Zingraf Real Estate, a luxury real estate agency specializing in luxury properties since 1977, is able to offer a selection of properties that meet these aesthetic and functional criteria.
Increasingly concerned about the environment and their carbon footprint, buyers of luxury properties now attach great importance to energy performance and the use of eco-friendly materials in the construction or renovation of properties. Certifications such as the BBC label or the Passivhaus standard have become important criteria for this demanding clientele.
In this context, and in response to these specific expectations, real estate agencies specializing in luxury real estate and affiliated with the Christie's International Real Estate network have a crucial role to play in accompanying their clients throughout the process of buying or selling their property. Their expertise and in-depth knowledge of the market allow them to:
Our specialized real estate agencies generally have a portfolio of carefully selected properties based on strict criteria regarding location, architectural quality, and high-end services. This allows them to offer their clients a varied range of properties that meet their needs and personal criteria.
In addition to property selection, our specialized real estate agencies in luxury real estate offer a comprehensive and tailored support service to their clients. They are present at every stage of the transaction, from the search for the ideal property to the signing of the sales agreement, including administrative, financial, and legal procedures related to the acquisition or sale of a luxury property.
Our real estate agencies in the international luxury real estate market benefit from the support of the Christie's International Real Estate network, as well as local partners and professionals (notaries, lawyers, bankers, etc.). Thanks to this international presence, Michaël Zingraf Real Estate agencies are able to facilitate and accelerate transactions between buyers and sellers from different countries.
The international luxury real estate market is expected to continue its growth in the coming years, driven by factors such as globalization and the development of new technologies. Our specialized real estate agencies will play a crucial role in accompanying their clients in this constantly evolving context and in adapting to the new challenges that arise.
New technologies, particularly the internet, have profoundly transformed the real estate sector. Dedicated websites for the search and connection of buyers and sellers of luxury properties have contributed to facilitating access to information and expanding the choice of properties available internationally. The Michaël Zingraf Real Estate group must continue to invest in optimizing its online presence while also developing innovative tools (virtual tours, mobile applications, etc.) to meet the expectations of their connected clientele.
Finally, the international luxury real estate market is expected to benefit from the diversification of demand sources, with the emergence of new economic players on the international scene, such as China or the Middle East. Specialized real estate agencies will therefore need to adapt their offerings and communication to attract these new affluent buyers and accompany them in their projects to acquire or sell luxury properties.
