Global real estate market: The trends of 2020
There are several global real estate market trends that you need to know of 2020. They are:

Despite the ongoing trade war, the year of 2019 served as a good year for the US economy. There was a growth in employment, and unemployment was at the 50-year low, and this came from the end of 2018 when the property market in the US was still booming. However, cities like Seattle and San Francisco have seen a decline in house prices in Q2 2019. Other cities like New York, Chicago, San Diego, and Los Angeles also experienced growth under 2%, respectively. If there is a decline in tech for these areas, then 2020 will bring in some surprises.
2. The Hong Kong protest:
Before the protests in Hong Kong took place, the real estate market was doing extremely well. When the attempt to keep democracy and autonomy, the Hong Kong protest became pretty ugly and continued for 265 days and did not stop at all. The protest has hurt the economy severely, and the relief received across the world is not making up for the damage. The residential transaction of Hong Kong surged in November 2019 and the property sales hit a 6-month high due to a mortgage lending policy. The real estate market of Hong Kong for 2020 will depend entirely on the protest, and it is something that one cannot predict.

Brisbane homes are providing 5.3%, along with Adelaide at 5.4%, Hobart is at 6.5%, Canberra and Darwin have yielded below 6%. Therefore, in 2020 the Australian rental markets will remain strong and there will be growing as well.
