Let’s wrap up 2017 and give a small introduction to 2018. Will we still have positive signs in terms of global investment?

Last year was an incredible year in terms of global real estate investment. After the economic crises the markets are now glowing and smiling to this trend.

The real estate transactions are growing and according to Cushman & Wakefield, in 2017 we had an increase of 13,2%. If we think about 2018 we also expect positive news. It’s expected that with more money on the market this number will follow last year’s tendency.

In Europe we already reached the 20% of global investment (a growth of 7%) and the most attractive countries are: UK; Germany; and Spain.

Did you know that Barcelona is a really important city for international buyers?

Even though Portugal is not on the top 3 it is important to mention that this country had an increase of 61% investment in 2017 which leads us to the conclusion that we should keep an eye on this market.

If we consider the other side of the Atlantic, we see that USA is the country with the highest volume of real estate investment but if we consider the investment in promotion projects then we have to say that China leads the way.
