Property Types
Luxury Property
The prestige market operates by its own rhythms. Scarcity, buyer behaviour, and discretion all play a larger role than in the mainstream market.
A market of its own
Luxury and prestige property is characterised by scarcity — the best positions and homes are limited — and by buyers who are often less sensitive to interest rates than the broader market. This can make prestige markets move differently from the mainstream.
Because standout properties are rare, patience and access matter more than in the wider market.
Discretion and off-market
A significant share of prestige sales happen quietly, off-market, without public listings. Access to these opportunities often depends on relationships. Discretion is prized by both buyers and sellers at this level.

Frequently asked questions
Why are so many luxury sales off-market?
Sellers at this level often value privacy, so many prestige properties trade quietly through relationships rather than public listings.
Does the prestige market follow the wider market?
Not always. Scarcity and less rate-sensitive buyers can cause prestige markets to move to their own rhythm.
