Watching the news recently, you could be forgiven for thinking that the entire country of China is a pile of shoddily constructed rubble, filled with wailing citizens, and that Burma is a whole country literally flattened, with people unable to work and an economy unable to grow at all. However, the facts are quite different - although they might not make for good news stories! In reality, investors in Asia are unlikely to be put off by these natural disasters, being much more balanced in their view of the region than journalists are, and realizing that long-term prospects for the region are better than ever.
Places like Tokyo and Seoul are tipped as being the places to invest in, where the markets still have at least as far to climb again as they already have, according to Mark Callendar, head of international property research at Schroders. Callendar also tipped Hong Kong and Singapore as being close to their peak - great for short term investments in the near future, but less promising over 2009.
The next five years will be a trying time for Asian residential property markets, according to a recent report. The cost of housing is increasing in many Asian markets, which is one reason for this expectation. Governments are doing their part to try to keep housing prices down through regulation and law, but they continue to rise in many countries. While the property market in Europe and the UK slowed considerably (apart from in Bulgaria), Singapore and Hong Kong have outperformed the market in general with their housing prices. This sounds positive, but may cause trouble for uncanny investors.
A recent survey of experts in real estate, finance and business revealed that Asian real estate will still be hot 'property' in the next five years. This survey was commissioned by Allens Arthur Robins, a trust company and law firm. They predicted that REITs will remain quite healthy in Asia, however the residential property market in Asia may struggle. Commercial property is expected to do well, with high volume turnover predicted and good prices. Residential property though, is expected to suffer from increasingly high prices, and a resultantly slower market.
