If you met a real estate negotiator who admits to failure, you should celebrate instead of rejecting them. By announcing their failures, they’ve learned things that nothing else on earth could have taught them. 

If one does not push themselves or grow into someone new, then life would certainly be boring and uninspiring – instead, what is even more awe-inspiring is just what failure can do for you.

But the definition of failure varies greatly among people – just like Summer Koh, a real estate negotiator from  IQI Elite who has her own definition of success and failure. 

How Summer Koh defines her successes and failures

Say hello to Summer Koh, a degree graduate in Accounting who started in the sales industry since she was fifteen – by selling education packages at roadside and education fairs. 

Joined the world of real estate in December of 2019, she’s made over 10 to 15 appointments in the first week. Yet a month later, no made no success in sales. 

Biting the bitterness of failure, Summer questioned her methods over and over –  but she never gave up. 

Finally, at the beginning of January of 2020, she made her first sale. 

Her roller-coaster experience of successes and failures 

As the months go by, Summer discovered Facebook advertisements and used her savings to reach a wider audience.

Despite managing to receive 8 sales from her running her ads, she lost all but 1 sale dues to a change in the developer. 

She again bit on the bitterness of failure.

Yet, Summer embraced her broken pieces and got back up running – by getting three sales in a week and gaining a clientele list in the following week, her winning streak grew and grew.

While Summer suffered many losses due to the pandemic, her sacrifices and hard work was rewarded as she becomes one of IQI’s top performers for the year 2020 – with a total of 141 property transactions. 

How does one embrace failure to succeed?

You grow through your ups and downs. 

Failure is just a sign for you to understand that you need to grow more – it will mould and shape you into a person that can reach your destiny.

Your failures create a compelling story for your audience 

The most incredible stories can be told through our biggest obstacles – stories of you overcoming your biggest challenges, stories that shape your life and stories on how to face such failure again and again.

How your failures can inspire others

What you do in the face of failure will inspire others. How you show up when faced with the ultimate defeat will impact the lives around you, helping them to achieve their biggest goals.

When you take failure for what it is and strive further towards your goal, others will notice and follow your lead. 

The concept of failure is always good for you.

By embracing it, you move past the negatives and the disappointments and change your mindset from ‘failure is bad’ to ‘failure can be good’.

If you don’t embrace it in a healthy way, you’ll get stuck and won’t allow yourself to accomplish what you could. 

Reaching out for international exposure is possible – all you need is the right support.

An opportunity of a lifetime is here – so join IQI and create your international career together!

The post Juwai IQI Newsletter – Real Estate Market – December 2021 appeared first on IQI Blog.

Across Canada, large Chinese corporations and institutional investors are no longer purchasing commercial real estate – markets they favoured before.

Today, a small group of investors consisting of high-net-worth families from Hong Kong and mainland China seek Canada as a haven to invest their wealth. They are interested in commercial real estate but don’t want to do high-profile deals or draw attention to themselves.

It is too early to say whether the influx of smaller investors will offset the loss from the big companies. Today, many deals are not captured in any statistics because they are private and too small. 

On the residential side, Toronto has been the top destination for Chinese buyers in Canada for at least seven years, according to Juwai IQI, an international real estate company that caters to Asian clients.

Juwai measures the volume of enquiries each city receives on its website and via its realtors. The firm says the locations with the most enquiries also usually have the most transactions. In addition to Toronto, other cities consistently popular with Chinese buyers are Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa – but never a city in Atlantic Canada.

According to Juwai co-founder Georg Chmiel;

“The reality is that most Chinese property buyers have very little awareness of Atlantic Canada or its investment potential. They know Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. But Halifax? Not so much.”

“For Chinese buyers, Montreal offers the next best combination of affordability, accessibility, investment potential and lifestyle. Montreal is relatively well known in China compared to the cities of Atlantic Canada.”

Juwai and Canadian-based realtors say Chinese buyers typically buy real estate, so their kids have a place to live while studying in Canada. That has driven the interest in Hamilton, where McMaster University is located, and Waterloo, Ont., home to two major universities and a growing tech hub.

After British Columbia imposed a foreign-buyers tax in 2016, Chinese buyers shifted away from Vancouver and made more enquiries and purchases in Montreal, but not Halifax or anywhere else in Atlantic Canada, according to Juwai data.

When we think of Cambodia, we often view it in the eyes of tourist attractions. So instead of being in the mindset of a tourist, why not try Investing? Especially the Chroy Changvar district –  the ideal place to invest in 2021. 

Since 2010, the political environment in Cambodia has gradually stabilized, and the local GDP has been growing at a steady 7% for the last nine years.

Furthermore, with the completion of the China-Cambodia FTA and the “One Belt, One Road” promotion, the living standard of people have improved, and the real estate market has developed, and the current demand exceeds supply.

Where can you find Chroy Changvar?

Chroy Changvar is located across the river from central Phnom Penh – connected to the centre of the city by a pair of bridges. The Cambodia-China Friendship Bridge and Cambodia-Japan Friendship Bridge were also instrumental in the neighbourhood’s rise, built in the 1960s. 

There’s also a bridge to the peninsula farther north in the Prek Pnov area of the capital.

Chroy Changvar district is formed by the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers and Koh Dach, or Silk Island.

If you wish to drive there, take the National Highway 6A as it runs through the district. The highway provides a direct route to the important provinces such as Siem Reap, Kampong Thom, and Kampong Cham.

What is life like in Chroy Changvar?

Once never known for its food, Chroy Changvar has changed in recent years. With plenty of restaurants alongside the riverside near Sokha Hotel – we introduce the Food Palace, the biggest street food centre in Cambodia. It’s inside the Chroy Changvar Satellite City and hosts over 200 food stalls.

You are provided with choices from many corners of the globe – from Khmer, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Western food.

While the nightlife in Chroy Changvar is less lively, for those who are seeking it, you can find the most famous once including Dream World KT, Bokor Lounge & Bar, and Spean Meas Karaoke.  

What are the opportunities for growth in Chroy Changvar?

The district received major investments such as Borey Sopheak Mongkol – a 45,000 sq.m. mixed-use commercial complex with housing spaces and Mekong View Towers – a 116 unit housing complex with an impressive Skybar overlooking Phnom Penh City.

With the boreys (gated communities featuring a range of housing types) and apartment buildings being sought after, commercial spaces are on the rise.

Furthermore, these new investments cater to the growing number of locals and expatriates living in these communities.

Chroy Changvar still has its share of traditional villas and locally-owned apartments with the biggest attraction of this area being the riverfront views. 

Imagine the fresh air coming from your balcony, soothed by the sounds of the river – where else than Chroy Changva?

Australia has entered a roadmap out of Covid-19 lockdowns, and the real estate industry has attracted significant benefits. Housing transaction volume and prices are flying; Australia has its most significant increase in 30 years.

Affected by factors such as ultra-low interest rates, loose credit policies, government stimulus measures, and record savings rates during the epidemic, Australian housing sales have reached their highest level since 2004.

What has happened to the Real Estate Market since the start of 2021?

In the year to August, more than 500,000 homes changed hands in Australia.

In the past 12 months, 598,000 detached houses and apartments across the country changed hands, increasing 42%. It is the highest number of transactions since 2004.

The number of residential sold in NSW increased by 38.9% from a year ago to 191,090 units, and Victoria increased by 34% to 129,933 units.

The previously weaker Western Australia and the Northern Territory recorded 62% and 58.5% growth, respectively, the highest in the country.

South Australia increased by 38.6%, Queensland increased by 54%, ACT 27.1% Tasmanian 10.6%.

CoreLogic Research Director Tim Lawless said that the strong growth in housing demand amidst the stagnation of overseas immigration is due to cheaper loans, low housing loans and high household savings rates.

Strong demand has pushed up house prices. The total value of Australian homes is estimated at A$8.9 trillion by the end of August. Lawless said that this number was higher than 8 trillion in April, and when the September data is reported on October 1, it may exceed 9 trillion.

New research shows that the volume of housing transactions (the percentage of housing sales to the total number of houses) has reached 5.6%, the highest level since December 2009.

Two years ago, the ratio fell to a record low of 3.7% due to tightening credit conditions, declining housing affordability, and higher transaction costs such as stamp duty.

What is selling on the market in Australia?

58% of sales in Sydney are houses, 68% in Melbourne, and the proportion in the country is 73%. The percentage of houses in total sales rose by 5.6%, the highest figure in 12 years.

Total sales of houses in Queensland rose by 6.8%, the highest and most influential figure in all states since 2008.

The second-highest ACT is 6%, NSW 5.8%, Western Australia 5.6%, South Australia 5%, Tasmania 4.9%, Victoria 4.6%, and Northern Territory 3.7%.

What can we expect in the final months of 2021?

With more listings in the Spring, housing transactions are likely to increase in the short term. The sales volume is expected to peak early next year, but it may decline afterwards.

However, the disruption caused by the lockdown made trends harder to discern, and distortions affected sales and listings –  thus, Australia’s real estate may not be out of the woods yet.

In the 2020 World Investment Report last year, officials warned that the COVID-19 pandemic would heavily affect foreign direct investment, especially impacting developing countries harder. But as the pandemic progressed, the real estate market has shown rebounds in certain seasons.

Have a read how these top 4 countries are expected to jump in growth, and investors should invest after the pandemic below.

1. Thailand

Thailand has always been known as the heart of South-East Asia, attracting 39.8 million international visitors in 2019 alone! The numbers have since dropped drastically due to the pandemic; it hit Thailand hard as tourism is a big part of their GDP. The unemployment rate of low-skilled workers, informal and migrant workers in the tourism sector are high 6 months into the pandemic.

However, the government responded to the pandemic by coming out with policies to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on the country. Thailand authorities saw this crisis as an opportunity – to further adapt digital innovation and transform its tourism sector into a low density and high-end tourism spot.

Other than the above, we expect a strong economic rebound after the pandemic due to Thailand’s strategic location, which benefits from trade with other ASEAN countries and the welcoming government support to foreign investors.

As for real estate, the local property scene is still looking strong during the pandemic – the locals are still buying new developments. This shows confidence in the economic recovery, and we expect Bangkok to be in position for a huge market growth after the pandemic.

Once the country opens up, we expect a huge increase in demand on the rental market, especially on short term rental such as Airbnb operations. Thailand will definitely recover its tourism economy and foreign direct investment very soon after the pandemic is over.

2. Australia

The way the Australian government manages the pandemic has helped the economy bounce back fairly quickly. Since the pandemic’s start, the government has taken prompt actions to minimize the spreading of infections and offered many economic stimulation packages to sustain local businesses.

Being one of the most multicultural countries globally, Australia can utilize that in making strong trading ties with various markets in the world. This country is also one of the most entrepreneur-friendly countries in the world – they offer a great environment for individuals to start a business, invest, and have a good lifestyle.

After the pandemic, Australia’s position will definitely be stronger, as the low infection rates will provide a faster market recovery.

Stability often offers us a great sense of security in any investment. From the way the Australian government manages the pandemic, we can see that Australia is stable and full of opportunities to grow economically.

The Australian real estate market did not really slow down during the pandemic, as there are still foreigners buying into Australian real estate for study purposes or migration planning. We expect a rise in the rental market around universities or colleges once the borders open up for students. Besides that, the inflow of new immigrants will push up the real estate market too.

3. Dubai

Dubai has always been one of the best places to invest in real estate due to its rapid growth and tax haven.

According to Bloomberg’s vaccine tracker, UAE is one of the world’s most vaccinated countries. From this news source, we can expect a speedy economic recovery from the UAE and that it will be opening up to visitors very soon.

Dubai Expo will be the key project to open up the Middle Eastern door for foreign investors. The success of the Dubai Expo will attract more foreign direct investors, bridge the global community, and put Dubai in the centre of international trade.

The real estate market did suffer due to the pandemic as the number of ex-pats is over 80% of Dubai’s population, especially in the residential rental market. This is because ex-pats are returning to their home country, and fewer people travel into the nation.

Once the pandemic and the Dubai Expo are over, there will definitely be bloom and speedy recovery on the real estate market. Despite the impact, Dubai real estate projects are one of the top ones in the world. They often offer a high return on investments, especially after the pricing adjustment period. We do see a robust and positive appreciation coming right after the pandemic recovery for Dubai. 

4. Malaysia

Malaysia has always been a hot spot for tourism and investment due to its multi-language advantages and the low cost of living. The happening of the Covid-19 pandemic provided a great opportunity for foreign investors too.

As the Malaysian government introduced a series of economic stimulation packages throughout the pandemic, some policies are very beneficial to foreign investors to start a business or expand their current operations to Malaysia. European and US companies consider Malaysia one of the most favourable countries due to its growing market.

After the pandemic, we expect growth in foreign investment, especially in the business markets, since Malaysia has one of the easiest business registrations and low overhead costs in Asia. The multicultural background society also provides an edge to attract visitors for tourism purposes. For the past 10 years, we can see that around 25 million tourists have visited Malaysia each year!

In the view of both the business and tourism sector, the coming years of Malaysia after the pandemic are on the positive side. The future completion of the One-Belt One-Road initiative will give an edge to Malaysia – The Covid-19 pandemic only acts as a delay in the future bloom of this nation.

For all its tragedy, the pandemic has been good for home prices – some countries have even seen a jump in growth! It is indeed a perfect opportunity to read up and place the right investments in the right countries.

Are you prepared to get a headstart in your investment in these promising countries before everyone else does –  despite the pandemic?
