2024 Property Prices Transform the Classic Monopoly Board
This just goes to show how much the real estate market has changed over the past 89 years. Who would have thought that a property on Park Lane would now cost a staggering £7,750,000? It’s clear that the Monopoly board game may need a serious update to reflect these current prices.
The study conducted by 1337Games reveals quite a shift in the property prices compared to the original values on the Monopoly board. Park Lane has now taken the top spot as the most expensive location, surpassing Mayfair. Bond Street, Regent Street, and Piccadilly also see significant increases in their average property prices.
With UK house prices currently at 8.8 times the average earnings, it’s no wonder that these iconic Monopoly locations have seen such a dramatic increase in value. From the humble £60 value of Whitechapel Road to the eye-watering £7,750,000 price tag on Park Lane, it’s clear that the property market has changed significantly since the early 1900s.
So, next time you play Monopoly and land on Park Lane or Mayfair, just remember how different things could have been if the game truly reflected the current property prices. It’s a whole new world out there, both in real estate and on the Monopoly board.
