Real estate investors are no longer limited to the United States when it comes to choosing a real estate destination as they can now go to London, Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris and Singapore. This, according to the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate. Singapore made it to the top 10 list of ideal real estate destinations all over the world.  Real estate in the US may be experiencing a downturn but Washington, D.C. still lorded it over the other real estate destinations at number one followed by New York City (3rd), San Francisco (6th) and Los Angeles (7th).

London leapfrogged to the top of the list thanks to bigger government spending which in turn will require new offices and homes for its workforce. Singapore is considered Asia’s best real estate investment destination followed by China and India. The market may have cooled down when it comes to Singapore’s commercial, retail and office real estate but the country’s industrial market will be focus of market growth for the next five years.
