This article is contributed by Taco Heidinga, CEO and Founder of Propcoach International Inc. and Global Strategic Advisor at Juwai IQI, who brings nearly 20 years of real estate expertise and a commitment to uplifting professionals globally.As we step into 2025, the landscape of global real estate investment is evolving rapidly, driven by shifting demographics, economic factors, and changing lifestyle preferences. Investors looking to purchase property outside their home countries will find a range of new trends and considerations that could shape their strategies in the coming year.Here Are 7 Key Insights to Navigate Global Real Estate in 20251. Focus on Migration CorridorsWith the rise of remote work, many individuals are seeking opportunities in countries that offer better quality of life, favorable climates, and vibrant communities. Key migration corridors, such as those between North America and Europe, or Southeast Asia and Australia, are becoming hot spots for investors. Understanding these trends is crucial, as properties in these regions tend to appreciate faster due to increased demand.2. Sustainability and Eco-Friendly InvestmentsThe global push for sustainability is influencing property choices. Investors are increasingly drawn to eco-friendly developments that incorporate green technologies and sustainable practices. Properties that boast energy-efficient systems, sustainable materials, and proximity to public transport are becoming more attractive, as they align with the values of environmentally conscious buyers and renters.3. Technology IntegrationThe integration of technology in real estate is reshaping how properties are bought and managed. Smart home technologies, virtual reality tours, and blockchain for secure transactions are becoming standard. Investors are looking for properties that not only embrace these technologies but also offer the potential for improved operational efficiencies and enhanced tenant experiences.4. Urban vs. Suburban DynamicsThe pandemic has altered the desirability of urban living. While major cities like London, New York, and Singapore remain attractive due to their economic opportunities, there is a notable shift towards suburban areas that offer larger spaces and more affordable living options. Investors should evaluate the potential for growth in suburban markets, especially those that provide easy access to urban centers.5. Regulatory Environments and Market StabilityUnderstanding the regulatory landscape of a foreign market is essential for any investor. Countries with favorable foreign ownership laws, transparent tax structures, and stable political environments are becoming increasingly appealing.Investors should conduct thorough due diligence to ensure that their investments are secure and compliant with local laws.6. Health and Wellness TrendsThe focus on health and wellness is influencing property design and investment decisions. Properties that incorporate wellness amenities, such as fitness centers, green spaces, and proximity to nature, are gaining traction.Investors should consider how these trends can enhance property value and appeal to potential tenants in a post-pandemic world.7. Diversification StrategiesIn an increasingly volatile global economy, diversification remains a key strategy for real estate investors. Many are looking beyond traditional markets to emerging economies that offer high growth potential. Countries in Africa and Latin America, for instance, are attracting attention for their burgeoning middle classes and urbanization trends.Click here to continue reading!Taco Heidinga, CEO and Founder of Propcoach International Inc. and Global Strategic Advisor at Juwai IQI, brings nearly 20 years of real estate expertise, training over 1,000 agents worldwide.

Malaysia Leads ASEAN In Attracting Foreign Property Investment: Juwai IQI

Malaysia Leads ASEAN In Attracting Foreign Property Investment: Juwai IQI

The contents of this article were contributed by Dave Platter, Global Head of Public Relations at Juwai IQI and Forbes Council Official Member, connecting Juwai IQI’s leaders with top media outlets across the US, Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia-New Zealand.Malaysia has solidified its position as the top ASEAN destination for international property investors, according to IQI Co-Founder and Group CEO Kashif Ansari. The country’s appealing property market and visa options are key strengths driving this achievement.Data reveals that over 9,800 holders of MM2H, PVIP, or Sarawak/Sabah visas have contributed RM5.1 billion (US$1.1 billion) to the economy through local spending. This amount is comparable to funding 51,000 affordable housing units.Foreign buyers, often part-time or full-time residents, play a significant role in boosting local economic growth and employment. Malaysia’s success in attracting these buyers is attributed to its stable property market and enticing visa programs tailored for businesspeople, digital nomads, and retirees.Mr. Ansari’s remarks have been featured by eight leading Malaysian media outlets, including Astro Awani, Bernama, and the New Straits TimesVisa Approvals and SpendingMalaysia’s visa programs, including MM2H, Sarawak MM2H, and PVIP, have seen growing interest, with 2,973 approvals in 2023 and an estimated annual spending of RM134,000 (US$30,000) per resident. These programs attract participants from countries such as China, the UK, Hong Kong, the US, and othersCompetitive AdvantagesCompared to its ASEAN rivals, Malaysia offers moderate financial thresholds for residency visas. Unlike some competing visa programs, Malaysia’s MM2H allows foreign residents to purchase homes. Additionally, the Sarawak and Sabah MM2H programs provide even more flexible requirements than the national scheme.Property Market StabilityMalaysia’s stable property prices make it a safe investment destination. By comparison, Thailand faces oversupply issues, and Indonesia’s Jakarta shows minimal growth. While Singapore leads in luxury property demand, its 60% stamp duty significantly deters foreign buyers. In contrast, Kuala Lumpur’s prime property prices remain stable, with slight upward potential.2025 OutlookIn his remarks, Mr. Ansari forecasted a 5% increase in foreign home purchases for 2025, which would translate to RM166 million in additional spending. Mainland China and Hong Kong are expected to remain the top sources of buyers.CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING!Dave Platter is Global Head of Public Relations for Juwai IQI and a Forbes Council Official Member.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK 2025: TRUMP, TARIFFS, AND THE TRADE WAR

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK 2025: TRUMP, TARIFFS, AND THE TRADE WAR

This article is contributed by Shan Saeed, Chief Economist at Juwai IQIAs we enter 2025, the question looms; What does the future hold for global investors? That’s the big question. A recent analysis by Mike Bell of JP Morgan London paints a clear picture of the global economic outlook. The global economic landscape is marked by significant divergence. While the US demonstrates resilience, Europe faces increasing risks of recession. Central banks are expected to continue cutting rates, and we anticipate that the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of England (BoE) will implement more rate cuts than currently priced in by the markets between now and the end of 2025. In Europe, the recent PMI business survey data highlights a contraction in activity, particularly in the manufacturing sector. The service sector is also slowing, heightening concerns about a potential recession. The risk of US tariffs on European exports further exacerbates these concerns. We expect the European Central Bank (ECB) to implement an additional 25 basis point rate cut this year. However, internal debates within the ECB about the neutral rate suggest that rate cuts may proceed more cautiously than markets currently anticipate. The UK economy is also under strain, as business surveys point to a slowdown. The recent budget has influenced the BoE's stance, leading to expectations of more gradual rate cuts. The focus remains on inflation and wage growth, with the potential for deeper cuts if wage growth continues to moderateIn contrast, the US economy remains robust, driven by strong consumer spending and potential policy measures from the Trump administration. While some concerns persist about the labor market, overall growth prospects are positive, with the potential for above-trend growth in the coming year. Credit Fundamentals and Investment StrategiesDespite the risk of a European recession, European banks are likely to remain resilient, supported by strong regulatory capital ratios and healthy profitability. With an average common equity tier 1 ratio of 15.4%, these banks are well-equipped to withstand economic shocks. The regulatory buffer to requirements is substantial, averaging 400 basis points, providing a significant cushion against potential downturnsOur investment strategies prioritize maintaining high credit quality, focusing on single-A-rated names and above. This approach enhances portfolio resilience amidst tight spreads on lower-rated credits. We are also selectively adding duration to our portfolios when market conditions present favorable opportunities, particularly in the US and UK, where rate cuts are less aggressively priced. ConclusionWhile recession risks have increased in Europe, the US outlook remains strong. Our liquidity strategies arewell-positioned to navigate these conditions, focusing on credit quality and active duration management tooptimize returns.GDP Outlook for 2025 Check out newslettere now!

Private Housing Supply Trends: Hong Kong for 2024-2025

Private Housing Supply Trends: Hong Kong for 2024-2025

A CLOSER LOOK INTO THE PRIVATE HOUSING SUPPLYRecent market dynamics reveal a complex interplay between strengthening demand indicators and persistent supply concerns. While robust rental growth, population inflows, and moderating mortgage rates signal a recovery in demand, the price war in the primary market and mixed sales performance highlight ongoing supply pressures. The critical question remains: will this supply overhang outweigh the emerging demand recovery?The Housing Bureau projects 108,000 private residential units to be available in the next three to four years—a modest 10% increase from 2021's peak market levels when the home price index reached its historic high. A more meaningful assessment of market balance can be derived by analyzing the "months of supply" metric, which relates unsold units in completed projects and projects under construction to the primary transaction volume over the past 12 months.This indicator has traced a revealing pattern: from 54.4 months in December 2021, it rose significantly to 95.4 months in 2022 and peaked at 101.6 months in 2023, reflecting the downturn phase of the cycle. Recent data shows a moderation to 78.2 months as of September 2024, suggesting improving absorption dynamics. Looking ahead to 2025, assuming primary market transaction volumes normalize to 18,000 units annually (less than 10% above the projected 2024 level), the months of supply could moderate to 58.0 months by December 2025—approaching levels observed during more balanced periods, notably in 2021.While current inventory metrics indicate elevated levels of unsold units in completed projects and those under construction, forward-looking supply indicators present a contrasting picture. Most notably, the volume of potential units from disposed sites—where construction could commence immediately—has declined to 10,000 units as of September 2024, the lowest level since data collection began in 2012 and a marked decrease from 25,000 units in March 2023. This structural shift in the supply pipeline suggests potential moderation in medium term inventory growth, even as the market works through current stock levels.Meanwhile, developers' active management of their development pipelines suggests that the effective housing supply may prove more moderate than aggregate statistics indicate. Supply management strategies have emerged across multiple channels, including adjustments to construction timelines, project repurposing, and optimizing project launch schedules. SHKP's modification of its So Kwun Wat project timeline, citing design changes, exemplifies this trend. Additionally, in 2024, at least seven residential developments released a portion of their unsold units for leasing, representing an adjustment to the disposal pipeline. These strategic responses to market conditions introduce meaningful divergence between headline supply figures and realized inventory, potentially accelerating the convergence toward healthy inventory levels beyond current projections.Looking ahead, key macroeconomic headwinds that have pressured Hong Kong's residential market show signs of moderation, though geopolitical uncertainties—particularly the potential escalation of the US-China trade war—remain a primary concern. While current market conditions suggest a complex path to recovery, improving fundamentals indicate potential for market stabilization.Want to gain deeper insights into the housing market and what the future holds for you?

Philippines Economic Growth & Condo Market Outlook 2024

Philippines Economic Growth & Condo Market Outlook 2024

CONSISTENT PH ECONOMIC GROWTHThe Philippines outperformed most Asian economies in 2024, posting a solid 5.8% growth in the first three quarters.Its growth outpaced key regional economies, including Malaysia (5.2%), Indonesia (5.0%), China (4.8%), and Singapore (3.8%). The third-quarter expansion of 5.2% came on the back of robust capital formation and accelerated government spending. The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) noted the resilience of the economy, especially in the face of weather-related disruptions such as El Niño drought and severe typhoons, highlighting the strength of the country's recovery.It said inflation, which averaged 6.0% in 2023, eased to 3.2% by November 2024, within the government's target range. The moderation in inflation was led by a drop in rice prices, which fell from 22.5% in June to 5.1% in November, following the implementation of Executive Order (EO) 62 that lowered rice import tariffs.Opportunities in Metro Manila Condo OversupplyRecently, Colliers Philippines has shared a report that there is an oversupply of condominiums worth 34-months while this might sound concerning, we see that this could be a temporary correction in the market and a possible shift to “buyer’s market”.The Metro Manila real estate is known for it’s great capital appreciation with an average of 15% annually in which made the prices really high. While this benefited investors who have purchased properties on the earlier stage this also made it difficult for those who want to invest today.As there are more properties available in the market, we can see a transition to a market more favorable to the buyers with potential discounted price for the secondary market. During pandemic, the developers also provided discounts and more flexible payment terms than enable the market to pick up.With the exodus of Philippines Offshore Gaming Operators or POGO which occupied almost 20% of office supplies and around 10% of residential properties, we also see a potential decline in rental rates which offers an opportunity to others.Ready to invest in the Philippines' thriving economy and real estate market?
