Highly transparent real estate markets are outpacing global growth by 20 percentage points, as JLL identifies a critical link between data accessibility, AI adoption, and the potential for $800B in new capital inflows.
JLL's Global Real Estate Transparency Index positions the company as a central beneficiary of increasing cross-border investment and transparency-driven capital flows.
JLL's 2026 Global Real Estate Transparency Index reveals that the world's 13 most transparent markets captured 80% of direct investment, with transaction volumes rising 64% over two years. As capital flows concentrate in these regions, JLL estimates that expanded retail and pension access to private assets could unlock over $800B in new real estate capital by 2030.
Transparency allows investors to compare assets, financing, and regulatory conditions with higher confidence, which attracts capital and reduces risk in an increasingly complex global market.
