This year's survey shows that global real estate investors remain confident and their intentions are strongly expansionary. The appetite for cross-regional investment is increasing and more investors intend to deploy capital outside their own region this year.
Despite the strong liquidity in the investment market, investors are concerned about the intense competition for assets. Pricing is identified as the biggest obstacle to making acquisitions. There continue to be worries over economic weakness but there are encouraging signs of recovery in the U.S. and sustained growth in Asia.

A majority (54%) plan to increase their purchases this year, a slight decline on last year’s survey, when 64% indicated they intended to buy more. | ||
