Despite policy uncertainties, Asian investors regard real estate as safe haven assets - amid global low-interest-rate conditions, analysts said.
According to research by Zillow, the online US residential property portal, job opportunities and education resources are among the top priorities for Asian investors when choosing a destination for investment, as they believe these are factors supporting long-term yields.
Although policy uncertainties remain in US market, demand for real estate assets, particularly residential property, remains because investors mainly secure yields from stable cash flow from rental income, which has been rising steadily in key cities.
