Chinese Fuel Surge in Foreign Purchases of US housing
Foreign purchases of US real estate jumped by 35% last year, and the Chinese led the way, according to a survey released Tuesday.
Chinese buyers have become the largest source of foreign cash in the US residential real estate market, accounting for nearly one in four dollars spent by foreigners on American housing last year, the National Association of Realtors said in its annual survey of international property sales.
China accounted for $22 billion in international sales for the 12-month period ending March 2014, or 24% of all foreign sales, up from $12.8 billion, or 19% , during the year-earlier period.
Total international property sales rebounded last year to $ 92. 2 billion, according to the NAR’s estimates, up from $68.2 billion in 2013 and $82.5 billion in 2012. The total represented around 7% of the market for all US sales of previously owned homes during the same period.
In recent years, American real estate markets have been viewed alternately as a safe haven and a bargain amid concerns over unsustainable asset values abroad.
US real estate also continues to be popular thanks to the dollar’s weakness against some currencies, though the currency advantage has dimmed somewhat for Canadian buyers that had been particularly aggressive property buyers in the US in 2011 and 2012. Some agents say that American higher education is also a top draw for some trophy-property buyers.
"Foreign buyers are being enticed to US real estate because of what they recognize as attractive prices, economic stability, and an incredible opportunity for investment in their future," said Steve Brown, the NAR’s president, who is the co-owner of a real-estate brokerage in Dayton, Ohio.
European and Latin American buyers have helped push prices of South Florida condos to record highs in recent years, while foreign buyers of all stripes have sent prices of new Manhattan developments to astronomical levels. Asian buyers, particularly Chinese, have also been a major force in property markets in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Overseas buyers tend to hunt for trophy properties. This helps explain why the median purchase price to international clients ( $268,284 last year) is significantly higher than for all sales ( $ 199, 575). That’s particularly true of Chinese buyers, where the average purchase price topped $590,000 and the median exceeded $523,000. Canadian and Mexican buyers, by contrast, appear to buy much more modest homes.
China was the largest source of transactions on a dollar basis, and it represents the fastest growing buyer segment. But Canada remained the largest share of clients. Canadians accounted for 19% of property buyers last year, down from 23% in the previous year. Chinese accounted for 16% of buyers, up from 12% . The NAR survey includes buyers from Taiwan and Hong Kong in that tally.
The NAR estimates that 35% of Chinese buyers selected homes in California. Around 40% of Canadians bought homes in Florida, while 23% of Canadians bought in Arizona.
Every year, the NAR surveys its members about international clients in order to estimate foreign property purchases in the US. It conducted this year’s survey of 3, 547 members for 30 days beginning in mid-April.

答案
中国人在美国购房,引发外国人购房热潮 本周二发布的一项调查数据显示,去年购买美国房产的外国人增加了35%,尤以中国人居首。 全美房地产经纪人协会在年度国际房地产销售调查中指出,在美国住宅市场,中国买家已成为外来资金的最大贡献者,去年几乎占外国人在美购房总额的四分之一。 截止2014年三月底,在过去一年时间里,中国在海外房地产销售中出资额达220亿美元,占所有外国出资额的24%,去年同期中国出资额为128亿美元,占19%。 据全美房地产经纪人协会估计,去年海外房产销售总额反弹,达922亿美元,2013年为682亿美元,2012年为825亿美元。同期全美房产销售市场中,约7%为二手房。 近年来,人们担心海外资产价值不可持续,美国房地产市场一会被视为“安全港”,一会被视为“廉价品”。 由于美元对某些货币疲软,美国房地产继续走热。不过加拿大买家对货币优势已不怎么感兴趣,因为他们在2011年和2012年一直都是积极的在美购房者。一些房产中介指出,对购买豪宅的买家来说,美国的高等教育也是吸引购房者的首要因素。 全美房地产经纪人协会主席、俄亥俄州代顿房产中介的共同拥有人史蒂夫-布朗说道:“外国买家正被美国房产所吸引,他们认为美国房价诱人、经济稳定,在未来,这会是一个难以置信的投资机会。” 近年来,欧洲和拉丁美洲买家抬高了南部佛罗里达公寓房的价格,创历史新高;形形色色的海外买家将新曼哈顿房产价格推到了天文数字。亚洲买家,尤其中国人,是旧金山和洛杉矶房产市场的主力军。 海外买家喜欢选择豪宅下手。这有助于解释为什么国际客户的中位买价(去年为268,284美元)比全部销售额(199,575美元)明显更高。这尤其体现在中国买家身上,中国买家的平均买价高达590,000美元,而中位买价为523,000多美元。相反,加拿大和墨西哥买家倾向于购买价格不太贵的房子。 去年,中国是美元交易的最大来源国,也是增长最快的买家。但加拿大所占的份额仍然最大。去年加拿大人占美国房产买家总数的19%,前年是23%。中国买家从12%上升到16%。全美房地产经纪人协会的这一统计包括台湾和香港在内。 全美房地产经纪人协会估计有35%的中国买家选择在加利福尼亚州购房。大约40%的加拿大人在佛罗里达州购房,23%的加拿大人在亚利桑那州购房。 全美房地产经纪人协会每年都会对其国际客户会员进行调查,目的是推算在美国的海外房产购买量。协会今年开展的这项调查从四月中旬开始,为期30天,涉及3,547个会员。
