What the report says

  • The year-to-date total marginally exceeded the comparable 2025 period, largely on the strength of the first quarter.
  • CBRE described market activity as selective, with lengthy decisions and persistent differences between buyers' and sellers' price expectations.
  • Momentum slowed in the third quarter amid higher financing costs and geopolitical uncertainty.

Our investment lens

A national transaction total signals liquidity but does not set a price for a hotel, apartment portfolio, or development site. Underwrite each market's income, financing, taxes, and legal structure in its own currency.

What to examine next

Compare local transaction evidence and debt terms, then test the exchange-rate and holding-period assumptions of any cross-border acquisition.
