• Statistical Study-SS10007-Six China Office Markets: 4 Up 1 Flat and 1 Down Mar 2007

Executive Summary:  We have looked at the January 2004 to December 2006 office market indexes of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, and Chongqing and have done simple calculations and analyses on them. The observations to date suggest the office markets are less correlated, riskier, and more volatile overall. Investing in more than 1 market may be safer than in just 1 market alone. Also, using Beijing-Office as benchmark, 4 out of the 5 remaining markets have widened gaps, lower or higher, with Beijing-Office during the period studied. This may mean investment opportunities as markets may not diverge continuously in the long run. [15 pages, US$100.00]

• Statistical Study-SS10006-China Residential Villas: Are They More Profitable? Mar 2007

Executive Summary: The short sweet answer is that they are not necessarily more profitable than investing in general private residential properties. Here we have looked into the villa sector in 3 cities, namely Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. We have also compared their indexes from early 2005 to late 2006 with those of the respective general private residential sector in each of these cities. Essentially, the two, i.e. the overall general-residential and the villa sectors, do not appear to correspond with one another in terms of price trends too. Interesting insights await the inquisitive.  [12 pages, US$100.00]

• Statistical Study-SS10003-China Big 4 Cities: Buy New or 2nd Hand Residential? Dec 2006

Executive Summary: Starting in 2005, Shenzhen has been the overall best residential market performer out of the Big Four, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen itself. This outstanding performance is observed not only in its new residential sales sector but also in Shenzhen¡¦s secondary transactions sector. The dud in the period appears to be Shanghai. A closer look however on their price volatilities, correlations, return to risk ratios, and so on presents other angles. [9 pages, US$25.00]

• Statistical Study-SS10002-Shanghai Residential Villa: Up Despite Cooling Measures 1H 2006

Executive Summary: Residential villas comprise townhouse, semi-detached, and detached house styles, the latter including some of the prime estate lots. Not all villas are luxurious and not all luxurious residences are villas as some high-rise apartments are also very expensive. Nonetheless, as villas are generally larger, starting from some 200 m2 in floor area (or 2,200 ft2 roughly), they are generally (way) above average, which could be a 1,000 ft2 apartment. Even if the price per floor area does not sound formidable, the larger floor area will ensure its total price will be above most of the pack. Despite the recent measures to cool the real estate market, residential villas have been performing well. How well? Get this study and read on. [15 pages, US$25.00]

• Statistical Study-SS10001-China Residential Real Estate Investment: Shanghai is Key 3Q 2006

Executive Summary: During the period from 2001 to 2005 both years inclusive, a real estate investor or investment fund involved in China residential markets would have enjoyed comparatively exceptional returns IF Shanghai was included i.e. the investment performance would have been much less impressive IF Shanghai was not included. The difference could be quite immense to the extent that with Shanghai, the return per year would likely be in double-digit versus the single-digit return without it. Obtain a copy to find out more.
