Luxury apartments in São Paulo
São Paulo is one of the cities in Brazil with the highest cost of houses, apartments, flats and real estate in general. This is a consequence of the quick growth (which makes good loots of free terrain rarer and rarer), the relatively high average income (most Brazilian millionaires live in São Paulo) and, more recently, the increase in credit (which benefits mostly the middle class).
But, how do prices in São Paulo compare to those in other big and expensive cities, such as London, Tokyo or New York?
To try to answer that question, we present below some of the luxury apartments which are currently being sold in the city.
