The top search season runs from January to April: international families prepare the summer as early as winter, often from Monaco, Geneva or London. Many deals close in spring, before the July and August summer dries the market up. Autumn reopens an active window, notably for confidential trades, while the year-end holidays relight demand around Monaco.
