CRE Investors Anticipate 50% Surge in Capital Markets Activity

Investors are largely optimistic about a market rebound in 2021, according to Colliers International’s new Global Capital Markets 2021 Investor Outlook. Colliers’ research anticipates a 50% surge in investment activity in the year’s second half as investor confidence rises.

“Based on our global analysis, which gives us a bird’s-eye view of investors’ interests and expected appetite, longer-term tailwinds in the property sector remain intact,” said Tony Horrell, head of capital markets | global at Colliers. “With a massive volume of equity raised globally and the need for real assets, investors are eager to deploy pent-up capital and pursue opportunities during the year.”

The report indicates 98% of investors across all regions aim to expand their portfolios, with approximately 60% looking to expand by more than 10%. Additionally, 67% of EMEA survey respondents and 88% of those in the U.S. planning their next investment as early as the first quarter.
