Global Real Estate Investment Is Becoming More Transparent
Global real estate markets are entering a more transparent era as governments, investors and technology companies improve access to property data, transaction records and regulatory information. A 2026 JLL report found that two-thirds of global markets improved their transparency over the past two years, while transaction volumes in the world’s most transparent markets rose 64%. Digital land registries, artificial intelligence, better energy data and stronger regulations are changing how investors assess risk, compare markets and allocate capital across borders.
