Below are the key trends that investors need to watch, based on data and analysis from MSCI.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Uneven recovery across sectors<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>After a prolonged downturn from 2023 to mid-2024, the real estate market has started showing signs of recovery. However, this rebound is not uniform across all segments.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Leading sectors:<\/strong> Residential, industrial real estate, and assets tied to technological trends, such as data centers, continue to attract strong interest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Struggling sectors:<\/strong> Office and retail spaces remain under pressure due to weak demand and high financing costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Interest rates are expected to gradually decline in 2025, providing positive signals for liquidity, though raising capital remains a significant challenge. Private debt funds are gradually replacing equity funds, as these channels attract more capital due to their superior performance.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Importance of asset selection<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In the new cycle, choosing the right assets will be a critical success factor.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Investors need to focus on <strong>performance at the asset-specific level<\/strong> rather than relying solely on overall market trends.<\/li>\n<li>According to MSCI, the contribution of strategic asset allocation to investment performance has decreased, while the importance of asset selection has grown significantly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Risk management and alignment with long-term strategies will play pivotal roles in optimizing returns.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Challenges in refinancing<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One of the most significant challenges for the commercial real estate market in 2025 is refinancing, especially amid declining asset values and high interest rates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the U.S., nearly <strong>$500 billion in commercial real estate loans are set to mature<\/strong> in 2025. An estimated 14% of these loans are backed by properties worth less than their outstanding debt, complicating the refinancing process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The office sector faces the highest risk,<\/strong> with nearly 30% of maturing loans in a distressed state.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Investors with strong capital positions can leverage this opportunity to acquire assets at discounted prices.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Physical climate risks<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Extreme weather events, such as floods and wildfires, are becoming more frequent, posing a significant threat to real estate asset values.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>These risks can lead to <strong>higher insurance costs, substantial repair expenses<\/strong>, and operational disruptions.<\/li>\n<li>To protect investment value, investors must assess climate risks within their asset portfolios and consider sustainable, environmentally friendly solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>5. Opportunities amidst challenges<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>While the market still faces numerous challenges, agile and well-capitalized investors can find opportunities in acquiring undervalued assets or restructuring distressed loans.<\/p>\n<p>The real estate market in 2025 promises to evolve with significant strategic shifts, requiring investors to adapt swiftly and capitalize on emerging trends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The global real estate market is preparing to enter a new cycle with significant changes in 2025.
