CBRE publishes Global Living Report: A City by City Guide

November 3, 2015, Shanghai – CBRE has recently released its latest research report entitled Global Living Report: A City by City Guide, which explores the world’s most popular residential locations (total of 31 cities) based on multiple factors influencing the housing market. As the findings show, four cities in Asia made it into the Top 10 list of cities with the highest average annual housing price increase. Shanghai and Beijing ranked 7th and 8th with an increase of 14% and 12% respectively.

Dublin topped the list last year at 21.6%, on the back of an improving economy nationwide. Following Dublin is Hong Kong at 2nd place with 20% average growth. Abu Dhabi in the Middle East also made it onto the list with a 12% increase taking 10th spot.

Top 10 Cities with Highest Growth in Average Annual Housing Prices

​Top 10 Cities ​Average Annual Housing Price Increase (%)
1. Dublin ​21.6
​2. Hong Kong ​20.0
​3. Edinburgh ​20.0
​4. Sydney 16.8​
​5. Berlin 15.6​
​6.​​ Istanbul  15.0​
​7. Shanghai  14.0​
​8. Beijing 12.4​
​9. Cape Town 12.1​
10.​ Abu Dhabi 12.0​


Commenting on the future market trends
in China, Frank Chen, Executive Director, Head of CBRE Research, China, said: “since the end of 2014, conditions in the housing market have improved following a series of interest rate cuts in conjunction with the lifting of Home Purchase Restrictions (HPRs) in most tier II cities. The interest rates in China are currently at historically low levels. Given that domestic demand for asset allocations is still robust, residential real estate is expected to remain a key growth sector over a certain period of time.”

Shanghai: A set of policy changes stimulated demand and sales volumes were on the rise. Latest data suggests there has been a 14% surge in prices in Shanghai, meaning an average apartment would cost around $362,990.

Beijing: The government’s legislative efforts are also showing effectiveness in boosting the residential market in Beijing. Housing prices have picked up quickly by 12.4%, and the average cost to purchase a residential property is $367,568 in Beijing.

Compared with the 3% average annual housing price decrease nationwide, Beijing and Shanghai have been leading the price jump in residential property. Although the first quarter of 2015 remained fairly muted, at the end of March the People’s Bank of China lowered the minimum down payment for both first-time buyers and upgraders, followed by benchmark interest rate cuts in both May and June. Despite the continued housing purchase restrictions at the city level, these policy changes stimulated demand and sales volumes picked up.   

“Businesses in tier I cities are constantly seeking to expand office space, which means these cities are providing more job opportunities and continue to be preferred destinations for home buyers. As a result, developers and investors are keen to increase their investments in these locations. That’s why we keep seeing record-high land deals in tier I cities,” added Frank Chen.
