Overall buying intentions remain positive with around 80% of survey respondents indicating they plan to buy at a similar level to, or more than, 2015.

Australia, Japan and China were favoured by 60% of respondents as the top three investment markets in the APAC region.

Australia leapfrogged Japan to take out the lead ranking, up from 2nd place last year.

Sydney leads the city rankings jointly with Tokyo and was nominated by 15% of respondents as the most popular city for investment.

“With APAC accounting for three quarters of the capital inflow to Australian real estate last year, this means we can once again expect firm investment volumes in 2016. Chinese and South Korean investors both expect to remain net purchasers this year, which will ensure continued strong inflows from these particular markets.”
