Four Australian capital cities rank in the top 23 cities around the world for luxury residential price growth, according to the latest global research from Knight Frank.

The Knight Frank Prime Global Cities Index – Q1 2019, revealed Brisbane was ranked 14 for luxury price growth, followed by Sydney (18), Melbourne (22) and Perth (23).

Overall the index increased by 1.3% in the year to Q1 2019, its lowest average annual rate of growth since Q4 2009, and down from 1.8% in the previous quarter.

Knight Frank’s Head of Residential Research Australia Michelle Ciesielski said although it was still rising, prime global residential price growth had continued to moderate due to political and economic headwinds, the rising cost of finance and more property market regulations around the world.
