Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdowns have significantly disrupted global real estate markets. Prime residential markets have been no exception. From Sydney to San Francisco, markets are reacting to changes in lifestyles and economic conditions.

By tracking the performance of 28 cities, the Savills Prime Index: World Cities illustrates what the pandemic has meant for prime residential values and rents in the first half of 2020. As conditions ease, we look to where the bright spots will be in the future.

Our analysis looks at how average capital values have fared compared to rents, and we also break this down city-by-city to see how each market has reacted to the Covid-19 pandemic.
