Higher prices reduce affordability for local homebuyers. The analysis highlights the role of overseas investors in demand spikes. Data shows a correlation between foreign ownership and rent growth. The findings suggest policy makers may need to address cross‑border investment. Authors recommend monitoring foreign fund activity to mitigate price pressures. The study calls for further investigation into long‑term housing stability.
