Will house prices go up in 2026?

The consensus base case is modest nominal growth globally rather than a surge, with large differences between markets. Some will rise meaningfully, others stay flat or fall. There is no single global answer.

Is 2026 a good time to buy property abroad?

That depends on the specific market, your financing and your holding period, not on the global average. Easing rates and recovering activity make the backdrop more constructive than 2023, but local fundamentals decide individual outcomes.

Which property markets will grow fastest?

Forecasts point to faster growth in markets like Turkey, Georgia and the UAE, but with more volatility and currency risk. Mature European markets are expected to grow more slowly after a strong run.

Will there be a property crash in 2026?

A broad global crash is not the base case in the major forecasts, which lean toward balance. The downside scenarios cluster around a rate reversal, a geopolitical shock, or affordability and insurance stress in already-stretched markets.

No one can tell you what global property prices will do next year, and anyone who promises a precise number is selling something. Forecasts are frequently wrong, property is intensely local, and the macro picture can turn on a single rate decision or geopolitical shock. What you can do is read the published forecasts from the major research houses, understand the forces behind them, and think in scenarios rather than certainties.

That is what this guide does. It synthesises the 2026 outlooks from Savills, Knight Frank and Statista into a base case, an upside and a downside, and then focuses on the structural forces that will matter more than any headline figure. Treat everything here as a framework for your own decision, not a guarantee.

The macro backdrop into 2026

The single biggest change from the 2022 to 2023 period is the direction of interest rates. After the sharp hiking cycle that cooled markets worldwide, rates have been easing and normalising, and inflation has been moderating across most major economies. That shift is feeding through into transaction activity.
