Level of Foreign Direct Investments and Transparency of Polish and Global Real Estate Market

The article aimed to present the dependencies between the transparency of the real estate market and the level of foreign investments realized on it. For developers on the real estate market, a key element, other than potential profits, may be the market’s transparency. The main feature of a transparent real estate market is easy access to credible data concerning supply and demand, rent, property prices, transactions, vacant houses and capitalization rates that could be the basis for analysis. Market transparency does not guarantee the success of an investment, but considerably influences investment decisions and the level of risk connected with them.
