This paper studies the market selection criteria in international real estate investments. It presents the results of a questionnaire study among internationally investing property investors in Europe. The results indicate that the most important factors for market selection are safety of property rights and title as well as expected return on property investments. Also other factors describing institutional set-up and market maturity were found to affect the market selection process, whereas the correlation of the property returns was not found to have a large impact on market selection.

Šiame darbe nagrinėjami kriterijai, pagal kuriuos pasirenkamos rinkos tarptautinėms investicijoms į nekilnojamąjį turtą. Jame pateikiami Europos nekilnojamojo turto investuotojų, investuojančių tarptautiniu mastu, apklausos rezultatai. Rezultatai rodo, kad svarbiausi veiksniai, renkantis rinką, yra nuosavybės teisių saugumas ir laukiama grąža iš investicijų į nekilnojamąjį turtą. Nustatyta, kad rinkos pasirinkimo procese svarbūs ir kiti veiksniai, apibūdinantys institucinę sąrangą ir rinkos brandumą, o nekilnojamojo turto grąžos koreliacija rinkai pasirinkti reikšmingos įtakos neturi.
