Returns edged higher at year-end, but uncertainty remains
- Global real estate returns recorded their quickest growth of 2025 in the final quarter, bringing full year returns to 4%.
- However, the first quarter of 2026 has brought renewed headwinds for real estate with the prospect of higher interest rates back on the agenda. The recovery during 2024 and 2025 is weaker than those recorded after the global financial crisis and Covid period.
- Capital raised for global real estate investment rose by 12% in 2025 but remains well below the highs of 2021 and 2022.
