Foreign-investment totals describe a defined group of transactions. Their meaning depends on how the source identifies investors, activity and the period being measured.
Read the definition
Check whether the figure concerns buyers, transactions, investment value or another measure. Avoid treating those counts as interchangeable or assuming they establish demand for every property type.
Use local evidence
Review the target property's costs, use and appropriate comparisons. A broader capital-flow story may suggest research questions, but it cannot determine the suitability or return of an individual purchase.
