The Asia Pacific region has been under the spotlight by the major Real Estate firms with research being published across the board. Savills have now released their Asia Pacific Investment Quarterly Research for Q4 2017 which indicates 2017 ended strong.

Here are some highlights from the research:

Japan

Japan’s economic fundamentals are sound, and PM Abe’s political ground has been reaffirmed. Given the stable macro climate, Japan’s real estate market is likely to maintain its current favourable momentum.

China

Despite rising local financing costs the Chinese investment market has remained active. Investors are focused on secondary markets where lower per square metre valuations allow for further upside.

Hong Kong

Investment momentum in Hong Kong remained strong during the last quarter of 2017 with the industrial market proving particularly popular.

Singapore

Savills' the commercial front in Singapore, the lack of investible grade office stock in the CBD means that investment sales have been scarce, but are very fully priced when they do occur.

South Korea

Increased demand for headquarters from domestic corporations and increased prime asset availability helped 2017 set a new record for total office investment volumes in Korea.

Australia 

In Australia, meanwhile, an upbeat economic performance helped drive confidence in the commercial property market with almost AU$30 billion of sales across the major asset classes recorded in 2017.
