The linkage between overseas real estate and immigration real estate is heating up. Analysis of the combination configuration of real estate and identity at the 2026 Real Estate Expo

1、 Real estate, moving from single investment to portfolio planning

The demand for overseas real estate is changing. In the past, many people simply regarded overseas real estate as asset allocation; Nowadays, more and more families are considering home ownership in conjunction with immigration and studying abroad. For example, meeting the identity planning requirements by purchasing a house that meets the criteria, or alleviating the cost pressure during the study abroad period through 'housing for education'. The linkage between real estate, identity, and education has become a new trend in overseas real estate.

2、 Common regions and types of overseas property purchases

The real estate markets in different destinations have their own characteristics. Some European countries have become options that balance identity planning and home ownership, relying on relatively clear project policies; Some Asia Pacific and emerging market cities have attracted attention due to rental returns and living costs; There are also school district properties centered around educational resources, with relatively stable demand.

From the perspective of property types, there are both residential properties suitable for long-term holding, apartments for rental needs, and designated types of properties that meet specific identity project requirements. The key to selection is not simply comparing prices, but evaluating the holding purpose, rental demand, tax costs, and policy requirements together.

3、 What should families pay attention to when making property decisions

-Matching of purpose and path. Whether purchasing real estate is for investment, self occupation, or to align with identity planning, the selection criteria for different purposes are not the same.

-Market and Region. There are significant differences in housing price levels, rental returns, and tax policies among different countries and cities, which need to be screened based on specific needs.

-Funds and financial arrangements. Cross border home purchases involve foreign exchange, loans, taxation, and other aspects, and the professionalism of fund arrangements directly affects the progress of the entire plan.

-Subsequent management. The processes of property ownership, rental, and maintenance require corresponding service support in foreign environments.

4、 Taxes, holding costs, and subsequent management

The cost of overseas real estate is not limited to the purchase price itself. The purchasing process may involve transaction taxes and intermediary service fees, while the holding stage may incur property taxes, property fees, and maintenance expenses. Renting may also involve tax arrangements related to rental income. Only by estimating these costs item by item can we more accurately determine whether a property meets the expectations of the family.

Subsequent management is also crucial. It is necessary to understand whether it is necessary to entrust a local service agency and the cost involved in leasing management, house maintenance, and tax declaration for properties held in foreign countries before purchasing a house. Evaluating 'buying' and 'nurturing' together is closer to a complete judgment.

5、 Common processes for overseas property purchases

A complete overseas property purchase usually involves several steps: clarifying needs and budgets, screening target areas and properties, verifying property rights and policy requirements, arranging cross-border funds and loans, completing the purchase and delivery, and entering the holding and operation stage. Each stage may have localized detail requirements.

Due to cross-border involvement, issues such as data, language, and time differences in the process are easily overlooked. Using experienced institutions to assist in docking, or understanding the key points of each link before the process begins, can help reduce uncertainty in the middle.

6、 What does the real estate section of the Expo offer

The real estate section of this expo focuses on organizing exhibitions and consultations on topics such as overseas real estate investment, immigration real estate, school district real estate, and rental returns, bringing together real estate institutions, immigration services, and related financial service enterprises. Families can gather on-site to learn about real estate information in different countries and cities, and compare it with their own purposes.

It should be noted that overseas real estate involves capital investment and policy changes. Information should be sourced from authoritative channels as much as possible, and decisions should be made prudently based on one's own financial situation and risk tolerance. If necessary, professional institutions should be consulted.

7、 The value of institutional exhibitions

For real estate agencies, immigration services, and financial enterprises, the expo is an opportunity to reach highly interested audiences. It is expected that there will be a total of about 8000 visitors in three days, with many of them paying attention to both real estate and identity planning. Exhibiting helps institutions showcase their projects and services, establish trust, gather customer needs, and form collaborative partnerships with other sector organizations.
