Real Estate Sector

Sector Highlights

In 2024, the global real estate market experienced modest growth, with an estimated total return of approximately 4.6%. This performance reflects a period of stabilization following previous market volatility, influenced by factors such as economic conditions, interest rates, and regional market dynamics.

Regional Performance

North America

The region faced slight declines, with a total return of -1.1% in 2024, following a 13.0% increase in 2023. The U.S. housing market saw a 3.9% annual home price gain in December 2024, indicating continued demand despite affordability challenges.​

Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA)

Developed EMEA markets experienced a total return of -5.4% in 2024, down from a 21.2% gain in 2023. In the UK, house prices declined by 0.5% in March 2025, influenced by changes in stamp duty rules.​​

Asia-Pacific

This region continued to lag, with a total return of -7.9% in 2024, following a -0.6% performance in 2023. China’s economic growth remained weak, growing 4.6% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2024.​​

The real estate market in 2024 was influenced by several key factors

Interest Rates

Fluctuations in interest rates affected affordability and investment decisions. For instance, the Reserve Bank of Australia’s rate cut in February led to a recovery in property prices, with values rising nationwide in subsequent months.​​

Economic Growth

The U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.8% in the third quarter, supporting housing demand despite higher mortgage rates.​

Housing Supply and Demand

Increased housing inventory in the U.S. provided more options for buyers, yet affordability remained a challenge due to elevated home prices and mortgage rates. ​​

Investment Outlook

Looking ahead, the global real estate market is expected to continue its recovery, with projections indicating a market volume of approximately $654.4 trillion by 2025. Investors are advised to consider regional variations and sector-specific trends when making investment decisions.

In Summary

While the global real estate market in 2024 faced challenges, it demonstrated resilience with modest overall returns. Regional disparities highlight the importance of targeted investment strategies to navigate the evolving landscape.​​​
