Summary

Real estate markets are globalizing rapidly. Once dominated by local entrepreneurs, commercial real estate is becoming an increasingly global business as investors search across national borders for enhanced returns and diversification.

Europe and the US together account for over 65% of the global real estate market. Accelerated growth has been associated with European Union accession in Eastern Europe and the ongoing rise of Latin and South America as the outsourced beneficiaries of US corporates.

It is expected that 2007 will witness a better scenario in the North American real estate market. From an investment perspective, capitalization rates may be reduced as interest rates increase.

Worldwide, residential property accounts for more than 50% of the real estate market and should continue to drive the demand for real estate with economic development.

Over the past few years, recovery of Asian and Pacific real estate markets has been continuing at a somewhat steady pace, after the financial difficulties in a number of the regions countries for seven years since 1997-98. In the year 2006, the developing countries have seen the highest growth rate in the last three decades.

Increased attention from international players has made local markets increasingly competitive and liquid, with strong unsatisfied demand chasing increasingly scarce assets and resulting in significant yield compression. Improving transparency levels and the lowering of foreign investment barriers are facilitating the movement of real estate towards a truly global asset class.

The global real estate market is forecast to reach a value of about $450 billion by 2008.
