China Properties

While the investment climate for Chinese real estate has shifted with swings in the world economy, there are still options available for investors. China's economy has continued strong in spite of major slumps in most global markets. The impact of the government's stimulus package and free flowing lending saw the property market rise dramatically in 2009. While real estate prices in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai have surged, there are still many second- and third-tier cities that still offer great value for savvy investors.

Beijing has since started to implement policies to curb real estate speculation. Its goal is ultimately to ensure a greater degree of affordability for Chinese citizens, something that's grown increasingly out of reach. Two of the main policies include restricting foreign ownership of residential properties and increasing the cash-down payment for land purchases to 50%. This new policy to increase cash outlay for land purchases may help limit land speculation from property developers and control sharply rising prices.

Consequently, China's property market becomes favorable for foreigners seeking a more stable investment environment with increased potential for long term growth. Foreigners who have worked or studied in China for at least one year are allowed to purchase property. By cutting out some speculation, the market should continue to get stronger.

Inside Information...

Today, there is a greater degree of transparency for property buyers. However, there are still inherent risks to be wary of, particularly if attempting to go it alone. Laws are different throughout the country, so it is a good idea to connect with a quality agent who knows the local laws and can guide you through the process. Much of the real estate available for purchase in China are newly constructed developments, or off-plan, in the earlier construction stages. Due diligence on the developer and the integrity of their projects is essential for foreign buyers.

Beijing's progression has been ongoing, but to be sure, with the prestige of playing host to the 2008 Olympics and billions in public and private capital flowing in, it's an emphatic statement of China's emergence as a global superpower.

Wuxi Properties Wuxi: Located in the famous JiangSu Province, Wuxi is home to nearly 4.5 million residents and the city continues to thrive.

Wuxi's New District and Glamourous City promise to raise the city to even greater heights. In the evening, the flood of neon radiates the skyline creating a similar energy to Wuxi's fashionable neighbor. Wuxi Properties >>

Shanghai Properties Shanghai: Shanghai serves as China's business lifeline with a number of seaports and international conglomerates dotting the landscape to create its largest commercial and financial center. It's Mainland China's answer to Hong Kong with its cosmopolitan character and global appeal. As the commercial hub of the country, Shanghai is more open and westernized due to its long heritage of international trade and European influence, which suggests property investors are likely to see good returns in capital appreciation and rental income in the years ahead.

Chengdu Properties Chengdu: In a bid to boost the poverty-stricken western regions of China, the central government launched the "Develop the West" back in 2000. Today, Chengdu boasts a billion dollar infrastructure. The financial center of southwestern China, Chengdu has successfully attracted major international institutions as well as top flight local firms such as the People's Bank of China. Cost-effective labor forces and start-up costs continue to drive foreign investment in Chengdu, which is well on its way to becoming an established global player in China. Chengdu Properties >>
