Asia real estate transactions to rise in 2016

THE volume of real estate transactions in Asia is predicted to increase in the coming year, as investors will be lured into the region by attractive yields, according to a report by Colliers International.

Colliers said it sees cross-border investments to remain center-stage in Asia, but noted that although investment capital will continue to go overseas, yields in the Western markets are compressing, which makes investment-grade assets in core locations hard to find.
