Singapore investors are flocking to buy Japanese real estate due to the weaker yen and the potential for tourism-driven growth in Osaka, the second-largest metropolitan area. International property agent FM Investment reported a fivefold increase in inquiries since Japan reopened its borders in October, with Singapore accounting for about 70% of the 800 requests between April and June. Second-quarter sales volume has doubled from last year.
This year, the yen has decreased by approximately 8% against the Singapore and Hong Kong dollar, making real estate purchases more affordable for investors seeking bargains outside the Asia-Pacific region's two most expensive markets. Osaka's hosting the next World Expo in 2025 and opening a multibillion-dollar casino resort in 2029 attract buyers.

ZnWC : Are you considering investing in Japanese real estate ETFs or REITS in a favorable environment? What do you think of this cross-market real estate investment?
Despite the favourable environment, I will not consider Japanese REITS yet. This is because there are other Japanese stock or ETF with better growth potential than REIT. Berkshire Hathaway sold BYD and TSMC stocks and invested in Japanese trading firm stocks such as Itochu , Marubeni , Mitsubishi , Mitsui and Sumitomo. Japanese yen depreciation is not a good enough reason to invest in REIT.
Is the outlook for Singapore's housing market already facing a tough spot?
I take long position if I hold REIT stocks mainly for the high dividend. Hence Singapore REITS stocks are more attractive because the valuation will increase in the long run. Singapore housing market may be facing a tough spot recently but its rental income is still strong. Demand for house in Singapore will continue to increase but the price will be moderated to a reasonable level by government policy.

Kopikarp : Investing in Japanese real estate ETFs or REITs certainly seems appealing in the current climate, particularly given the favorable currency dynamics, the potential growth in Osaka's tourism sector, and the surge in interest from foreign investors. Cross-market real estate investment can be an effective strategy for portfolio diversification and accessing high-growth opportunities in various regions. As for Singapore's housing market, despite a slowdown in price growth due to recent regulatory measures, it doesn't necessarily indicate a tough spot. Rather, it's a shift towards more sustainable growth rates. However, investors may seek alternatives like Japanese real estate for higher returns and diversification purposes.
