Let's hope this continues:
Chinese buyers are returning to the local property scene as international borders open up again, but experts have warned there won't be a flood of capital to match the apartment boom.
…“It is reasonable to assume a rebound in the next six months or so, but the evidence from our recent survey of 1,600 middle-class Chinese points to a more steady flow rather than a torrent, which may come as a surprise,” he said CLSA's head of local property research, James Druce.
…“We have noticed that many investors expect that with the return of foreign students we will see a wave of Chinese purchases. To date our channel checks are not seeing an increase in demand for material,” he said.
And, in the future, if you need to know, never believe a word creepy Juwei says.
There has been no change to Chinese capital controls, so I don't expect any changes to Australian buying.
