The pace of growth in housing prices around the world has slowed, according to a study by Knight Frank. The aggregate index following the results of 2017 averaged 4.5% compared with 6.6% in 2016. It is noted that growth in local markets is weakened due to the abolition of fiscal incentives, the introduction of control over capital in China and the transition of many countries to the normalization of monetary policy. As the Global Residential Cities Index rating, compiled by Knight Frank, showed, the growth rate of house prices over 20% in 2017 was recorded only in Berlin, while a year earlier this growth was noted in 12 cities around the world.
