Luxury home

This level of financial investment is easily explained by location and a level of demand that outstrips supply: a private mansion in the heart of Paris for example, or a seaside cabin with a roof terrace just a stroll away from the water in one of the rocky inlets known as calanques in Marseille.The bottom line is that property is no different from any other asset; the higher the demand, the higher the price.

So the character of the property, its architectural style and plot size are all key criteria that directly influence its price and value. And ultimately, its prestige !
