India holds its spot at fourth in the top 10 Asia-Pacific nations for cross-border deals. China stayed number one in the region for the first half of 2025. It drew $41,158 million in total inflows. Australia followed with $1,022 million. Singapore came next at $981 million. India pulled in $808 million for land and development sites in that period. This shows a small drop of 1.6 percent. Colliers’ new report, “Investment Insights H1 2025,” shares these details.
Real estate deals in nine Asia-Pacific markets totaled $71.9 billion in the first half of 2025. These markets include Australia, mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand, and Taiwan. The amount marks a 6 percent drop from last year. Trade ups and downs plus worldwide challenges played a role, the report notes.
“India shines as a key player in Asia-Pacific real estate. Foreign cash stayed solid at $1.6 billion. It made up about 52 percent of big-investor money in India for early 2025. Asia-Pacific buyers sent more than one-third of that foreign cash. This shows India’s big role in global money moves. Strong need for top spaces, easier GST rules, and hopes for big spending in holiday times keep investors upbeat about India. Real estate in 2025 should finish strong. Homes and offices keep drawing lots of interest,” said Badal Yagnik, CEO of Colliers India.
Out of the $71.9 billion in those nine markets, office buildings led the pack. They took 36 percent of all deals in early 2025. South Korea and Japan drove most of that.
The report points to lower GDP outlooks for 2025 due to spillover effects. Asia-Pacific and the Americas feel the worst hits. India and China hold steady with no clear damage yet. Hong Kong and Spain show better growth predictions since late last year.
India’s prices ease from fewer supply issues, smart money moves by the central bank, and a low starting point. This keeps the growth path solid, it adds.
North Korea’s Kim Jong Un open to U.S. talks on one condition.
Worldwide, homes for many families lead in activity. But in Asia-Pacific, especially India, offices and land projects take the lead.
