CBRE’s 2025 Asia Pacific Investor Intentions Survey uncovered an improvement in buying intentions across most markets in Asia Pacific this year, with over half of respondents indicating their preference to buy more real estate in 2025. With the interest rate cut cycle underway in most markets, investors are gearing up for an increase in activity over the next 12 months, albeit with individual Asia Pacific markets staggered at different stages of the pricing and investment cycles.
Although real estate investment activity in most markets is forecasted to increase through 2025, the extent at which it will do so will differ according to location. While markets including Australia, Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong SAR are expected to see gains in transaction activity in 2025, investors are less optimistic about the extent of rate cuts in 2025, which could weigh on investment sentiment throughout the year. After a strong 2024, Japan and India are expected to witness robust purchasing activity in 2025, with core/core-plus investment strategies in the former and opportunistic strategies in the latter most prevalent.
The survey was conducted in November and December 2024. Over 460 responses were received from participants who were asked a range of questions related to their buying intentions, perceived challenges and preferred investment strategies, sectors, and markets for the coming year.
