ABSTRACT
Improved real estate market transparency is fundamental to innovation in the real estate sector. Importantly, a key ingredient for increased investor confidence in the Asia-Pacific real estate markets has been the improved real estate market transparency in the Asia-Pacific markets in recent years. Using the JLL global real estate transparency index, countries are classified as high transparency, transparent, semi-transparent, low transparency and opaque.
This paper assesses changes in the real estate transparency for 20 Asia-Pacific real estate markets over 2001-2014. This is also assessed in a regional and global real estate market context. Differences in real estate transparency between the developed and emerging Asia-Pacific markets are also highlighted. The positioning of Hong Kong and China in the global and Asia-Pacific real estate market transparency context is also discussed.
