Despite inflationary pressures and the ever-present threat of new Covid-19 strains, 2022 is expected to be a year of recovery for Asia Pacific’s real estate market. The total investment volumes of 2022 may reach around US $200 billion, increasing by 15% compared to US $162 - US $169 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, the lack of stock in the mainstream markets is not going to be alleviated in the next 12 months, and the continued low interest rate will boost sale and rental activities.

As more travel restrictions are being eased across Asia Pacific, FDI remains an important growth driver for the regional real estate market, evidenced by the strength of FDI inflows into the Chinese Mainland and Southeast Asia.
