Confidence towards the rental outlook has been revised down in the latest survey. Sentiment is bleakest across Developed Asia and Emerging Europe. As such, agents are offering greater incentive packages to secure a letting across all regions. Hong Kong , Singapore, Ukraine, Russia and Hungary are among the countries expected to see the biggest rental declines in the quarter to June. The pricing outlook broadly mirrors the rental trends with only Brazil and parts of Africa expected to avert falling prices. Across all developed regions both lettings and investment demand fell at a less pronounced pace although the pricing environment was little improved. The pace of price falls accelerated in North America and Emerging Europe although the sharpest reported declines were in Developed Asia for the second consecutive quarter.

In Western Europe, Germany remains the outperforming market with expectations towards property values less pessimistic than elsewhere. Sentiment towards rents is worst in the Republic of Ireland , Spain, France and the UK. The outlook towards prices for the second quarter is most negative in the Netherlands, France and Ireland. The Japanese and US real estate markets continue to deteriorate with virtually all respondents to the survey reporting falling capital values. Globally, the upward shift in yields has moderated across most regions although it increased in pace in the US and Japan. Expectations are that yields will be relatively more stable in Australasia , Latin America, Africa and the Middle East in the second quarter.

The Middle East saw activity declines accelerate further with tenant demand and rental expectations falling at a faster pace. Available space is rising sharply in the UAE with the office sector seeing the biggest pick up in reported availability.

Rents are falling across more than 90% of the countries surveyed with only Brazil, Saudi Arabia and parts of Africa, yet to report declines. Indeed , available space is rising across every global region dampening rental expectations of real estate professionals.

Prices continued to decline across the developed economies although at a lesser pace with only North America seeing sharper falls. Tenant demand fell across all global regions however, the magnitude of the fall in aggregate has moderated.

The latest global commercial property survey from RICS shows that the pace of decline in capital values accelerated during the first quarter driven by steeper falls in prices across most emerging markets.

Real Capital Analytics guest article: Balance of property trading tips homeward Global capital has withered with extraordinary consistency around the world, vanishing almost entirely from the Americas and Asia Pacific and retaining a slim presence in EMEA. By contrast, investment capital from local sources has become ever more important and now comprises by far the largest single investment source in all three global zones, although still fading in volume. Cross-border investment, whether global or continental, was buttressed by the decoupling theory of diversification. This held that emerging economies had become strong enough to stand on their own in a downturn among developed nations. But the drastic global reversal of the past two quarters has effectively neutered that argument. Instead, the conquistador investors who had roamed far afield searching for higher returns have begun seeking investments in their own countries. The lure of home? Distress, looming globally, holds potential for low entry prices and high returns. In 2008, global cross-border investment was $82b, off $107b and 57% from 2007. Continental investment stood at $80b, down 60% from $201b the previous year.
Through mid-2008, global and continental investors played a more significant role in EMEA than in any other zone, buoyed especially by investment from the US—the leading global exporter of capital. The drought of global investment that set in last fall could hit European property markets particularly hard. Even continental investment in EMEA, which had been fed by single-currency Western Europe and relatively high cap rates in Eastern Europe, will show a greater proportional loss as investors increasingly take a domestic focus.

Net investment from global capital has decreased most significantly in Asia Pacific, falling from $52.6b in 2007 to $23.2b last year and dropping off precipitously last spring. Local investors, although cutting back acquisition volume, will continue to grow their profile in AsiaPac: their investment activity grew from 55% in 2008 to 72% for all deals in q1’09. The capital markets in this still emerging zone, despite huge strides in recent years, remain—for now—less evolved than those in the Americas and EMEA.
Conversely, local investment capital will play a stronger role in the Americas, where US community and regional banks have been less damaged by the global financial crisis. Investment capital for export will continue shrinking in the US, benefiting local and national property markets. Investors in other major capital exporting nations will also be in a better position to take advantage of investment opportunities at home than net importers of capital. Especially exposed are the BRIC countries as foreign investment capital withdraws. One anomaly: the UK. With real estate values there already battered and the pound weakening, the country may actually be looking attractive, particularly to European investors who can arbitrage the currency and take advantage of still correcting prices.

RICS Global Commercial Property Survey Survey Methodology RICS Global Commercial Property Survey RICS’ Global Commercial Property Survey is a quarterly guide to the developing trends in the commercial property investment and occupier market. This edition details market conditions for the first quarter of 2009 based on information collected from leading international real estate organisations and local firms. This survey of the UK Commercial Market was conducted in conjunction with YouGov, a leading online research company. 361 surveyor offices responded to the questionnaire conducted between 19/03/2009 and 07/ 05/2009. This survey was run in accordance with MRS guidelines. YouGov have been appointed to conduct the majority of RICS surveys from December 2008. Methodology Survey questionnaires were sent to real estate organisations in March 2009, with responses received up until the 7th of May 2009. Respondents were asked to compare conditions over the latest Three months with the previous three months. A total of 361 responses were received. Responses have been amalgamated across the three real estate sub-sectors of offices, retail and industrial property at a city level, to form diffusion indices for the commercial market as a whole. The eight world regional groupings have been derived through the weighting of city level diffusion data using city population and country gross domestic product statistics.
