|
|
|
Swire Properties is exploring listing its mainland Chinese commercial assets on the country's real estate investment trust (Reit) market, as greater clarity over land-lease renewals opens new ways to unlock capital, CEO Tim Blackburn said recently.

Down Under, Going Under: Australian Housing Implodes As RBA Hikes Into The Slump
For three decades, the one trade every Australian knew by heart was "buy property in Sydney." Now it's disintegrating.That's the gist of a Bloomberg feature from this summer, titled "One of the World's Longest Housing Booms Is Cracking in Sydney," which at the time read like a slightly alarmist look at a market that was "only" 3.6% off its peak. Two months, one rate hike and a whole lot of downward revisions later, it reads more like the opening chapter. According to the October Cotality data released just hours ago, capital-city prices fell another 1.4% last month and are now 8.1% below their March peak, with Sydney down 9.4% from a year ago. That's already most of the way to Goldman's latest peak-to-trough forecast of -12% (cut for the second time in two months), which would be a historically large drop for a country where housing is, well, basically the economy.And the Reserve...

What would a December rate rise mean for Hong Kong family offices′ property portfolios? (SCMP)
|
|
|
An expected 0.25 percentage point rate increase by the US Federal Reserve in December is unlikely to dampen Hong Kong family offices' interest in European, US and Japanese property investments, according to industry insiders.
Ken Peng, chief investment officer at Raffles Family Office, said there were currently no signs of a large-scale sell-off in the US real estate market, with some local markets in the US even seeing supply shortages.
“I believe the Federal Reserve's current rate-hiking cycle......

Argentina is the latest country seeking to lure investors with an investment-for-citizenship programme, providing another residency and diversification option for the wealthy, including those from mainland China and Hong Kong, according to analysts.
Buenos Aires in October announced two principal investment routes for applicants. One is a US$350,000 non-refundable contribution to the National Treasury and a subscription to a US$800,000 government bond created specifically for the programme,......

Britain′s housing crisis won′t be fixed without a new tax landscape (The Guardian)
|
|
|
We need policies that stop treating property as a store of wealth and that allow people to move home cheaplyJohn Healey's critics on the right and left accused him of dodging the big questions in his first budget. The chancellor failed to announce reforms that might tackle some of Britain's chronic problems, they say.Healey's scatter-gun budget, as the Resolution Foundation called it, was more about politics than economics, and unapologetically so.

'2008 Called...': Philly Plans City-Subsidized Mortgages With 3% Down And No Mortgage Insurance
Philadelphia is preparing to launch a city-subsidized mortgage that lets first-time buyers put down as little as 3% and skip private mortgage insurance, with public money covering part of the interest.Called One Philly Mortgage, the program is part of Mayor Cherelle Parker's H.O.M.E. housing initiative. The city's flyer sets aside $25 million for "Low-Interest Mortgage Loans and down payments of no more than 3%," with "No Private Mortgage Insurance required." Parker described it to a special session of City Council in March 2025 as 30-year fixed-rate loans at "competitive interest rates.".@PhillyMayor Cherelle Parker tells @EmilyRPeck that the city hopes to launch its historic mortgage program “before the end of 2026.”“Imagine getting a mortgage, a 30-year commitment, with no PMI,” Parker said, and accessible “with less-than-perfect credit.” #AxiosLive p...

The New American Housing Divide: Those With Family Assets And Those Without
Authored by Martin Armstrong via The Burning Platform,The American dream of homeownership is becoming increasingly dependent upon whether your parents have assets. A new analysis from Rocket Mortgage found that the share of home buyers under 35 purchasing property with a co-applicant over 55 increased 21% between 2018 and 2025, to about one in 30 younger buyers. Meanwhile, total home purchases among Americans under 35 have declined 15% over the same period. The cost of entering the housing market has increased so dramatically that family wealth is becoming a determining factor in who can purchase a home and who remains trapped renting.We have reached the point where income alone tells us very little about a young person's financial circumstances. Two people can earn identical salaries, have comparable education, and work equally hard, yet live in completely different economic realities. One has parents who own their h...
