According to the 18th Real Estate Investment Sentiment Survey conducted by Nomura Real Estate Solutions, 42.1% of investors expect real estate prices to increase over the next year, up from 33.2% in the previous survey. The outlook is supported by inflation and rising construction and labor costs, although concerns about high property prices remain.
An overwhelming 93.6% of respondents believe lending interest rates will rise within the next year, indicating a broad expectation of tighter financing conditions. While 45.7% reported no recent change in banks’ lending policies, nearly one-third felt that lending standards had become stricter, particularly investors who own multiple properties.
Regarding the impact of higher prices and construction costs, 46.4% said their investment decisions had not changed. However, more than half reported becoming more selective about yields and pricing or postponing new investments. Despite these challenges, investor confidence remains strong, with about 70% expressing interest in purchasing or replacing investment properties over the medium to long term.
