Confidence is up in worldwide real estate market and investment activity is growing! Particularly in Asia and Latin America, according to the latest Global Property Survey from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Sentiment about tenant demand over the next three months is either less negative or more positive than was previously the case in every region of the world and this is beginning to filter through into rental expectations, the report says.

In the second quarter of the year, a net balance of 67% of respondents from Hong Kong expected rents to fall further but in the latest survey, a net balance of 16% of respondents suggest rents are likely to rise over the next three months.

Peru, Columbia and Brazil also reported positive net balances on rental expectations while South Korea, China, Thailand and India were only moderately negative.

Australia, the United Arab Emirates and the UK also saw rental expectations become less negative over the quarter but the weak results from the US and Japan were not far from the lows touched in the second quarter report.

But Europe is not as positive as other parts of the globe. A number of European countries including Ireland, France and Spain have the worst readings on the rental outlook.

The mood amongst real estate investors also appears to have perked up according to the survey with capital values expected to increase in a number of countries including Brazil, Hong Kong, South Korea, China and India.

This more positive mood has also been reflected in activity indicators with the number of investment bidders per property picking up sharply not just in Asia and Latin America but also in a number of European countries.

Sentiment towards capital values in the US is, however, still very negative with 53% more surveyors expecting further declines rather than increases in the run-up to Christmas.

In the UK, the net balance on capital values expectations is still in negative territory although only marginally so and there has been a noticeable increase in transaction activity.

'The rebound in Asian economies is clearly being reflected in the more positive responses to both rental and capital value expectations throughout the region.

By way of contrast, the relatively sluggish economic revival though much of Europe and the US is consistent with the more downbeat results for these regions,' said RICS chief economist Simon Rubinsohn.

'This contrast could become even more pronounced through 2010 as any unwinding of the monetary and fiscal stimulus presents a further challenge to the tentative recoveries being experienced in most western economies,' he added.
