According to a recent article on the theRealDeal.com, fear of further currency devaluation in China will bring on a flood of real estate investment in the American market – which they see as a high-return investment with moderate risk and politically stablity, as compared to China.
“The Chinese see US real estate as a relatively moderate risk, high-return investment….More and more Chinese buyers will also be eyeing residential property as an investment, according to Svenja Gudell, the chief economist at Zillow. She said she expects to see a different kind of Chinese buyer seeking property in the US: A reduction in buyers looking for homes, but an increase in those looking for investment properties. “Where they are buying will also be different. The investor will buy in higher-tier neighborhoods, such as New York or Los Angeles,” she said. Chinese individuals are also being actively encouraged to buy abroad by the government.”
