Estimated $100 Billion Waiting to be Plunged into Property

These days whenever we talk or write about property markets, the first thought that comes to one's mind is the effect of the global crisis.

The impact of it has been such that some of the most popular destinations like Spain, France, U.A.E., US etc have all lost out immensely. The amount of vacant residential and office space has increased and if things continue in the same way, things are set to get worse.

But it is not the end for property investment: there are reports of almost $100 billion waiting to be invested in property when the time is right: thousands of investors and property funds waiting for markets to bottom around the world so they can buy property for its lowest possible price.

If the $100 billion reports are true, such a large cash-injection would be a massive boost to affected property markets, but if the properties are all sold at once soon into the recovery, that could prevent the recovery from taking hold.

It can only be hoped, that the money is invested wisely, and the investors are mindful of the situation and to not flood the market at the first hint of a recovery.
