Methodology

The Global Real Estate Transparency Index is based on a combination of quantitative market data and survey results across 99 countries and territories. 210 individual measures are divided into 14 topic areas, which are then grouped and weighted into six broad sub-indices:​​​​
  • Performance Measurement 25%
  • Market Fundamentals 16.5%
  • Governance of Listed Vehicles 10%
  • Regulatory and Legal 23.5%
  • Transaction Process 15%
  • Sustainability 10%
The Index scores markets on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1.00 being the highest possible score). Depending on their overall performance, markets are assigned to one of five transparency tiers.
  • Highly Transparent
  • Transparent
  • Semi-Transparent
  • Low Transparency
  • Opaque
