By Real Estate Market Dynamics Ltd remd, PRNESunday, November 14, 2010
LONDON, November 15, 2010 - Real Estate Market Dynamics Ltd (REMD) today announced the results from
the REMD Investment Survey EMEA 2011. The survey, completed by CEOs, CFOs,
Fund Managers, Heads of Real Estate and other senior investment-related
positions in the EMEA region, reveals high levels of optimism towards the
performance of Commercial Real Estate in 2011. 93% of the survey respondents
expect to conduct transactions in 2011 with 70% of the sample declaring that
they intend to be net buyers by the end of the year. 75% of respondents rate
the prospects for Commercial Real Estate to be better in 2011 than the
previous year, with 41% expecting to see significantly higher trading levels
by monetary volume and 63% expecting to see higher pricing levels.
John Purcell, Managing Director of REMD, commented: "This is very
encouraging for the Commercial Real Estate market as it continues its overall
upward momentum. The survey has returned some very clear and definite views
on the direction of the EMEA market in 2011 and there is no doubt from the
results that investors see value in bricks and mortar. Expect to see
increased activity levels next year. If there is a downside, it is going to
come from reduced yields as increasing demand could outstrip supply in
certain areas. London Office would be a good candidate."
The survey was conducted online during the last two weeks of October 2010
and sought the views of senior executives responsible for investment
decision-making in companies and funds with an interest in Commercial Real
Estate in the EMEA region. The survey questions covered views on the wider
economy, potential base rates movements, an inflation outlook, asset class
comparisons, potential Commercial Real Estate investment activity and
opinions on market evolution including pricing, Loan-to-Value movements,
distressed assets and Basel III.
