PwC's Real Estate Survey

Publication
April 2023

"This edition of our property barometer uncovers an emerging trend, where demand for property seems to be shifting from sales to rentals. Survey results also echo findings of the JLL GRETI, carried out in 2022, as respondents feel that there is not enough information available in the market to allow them to make an informed decision."
