The Chinese government has loosened capital restrictions, causing the country’s wealthy individuals and companies to move more money overseas. They are looking for better returns elsewhere around the globe. Chinese purchases of residential properties have increased from $11.2 billion in 2010 to $28.6 billion in 2015 (33,000 homes).

So, where are Chinese investors buying?

The United States real estate market has become a preferred destination for Chinese capital.

Across the U.S., Chinese buyers are primarily buying in California (35%), Washington (8%), New York (7%), Massachusetts (6%), Texas (4%), Illinois (4%), Hawaii (3%), New Jersey (3%), North Carolina (3%), and Florida (3%).

Chinese investors have also been particularly active in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada, among others.

Australia, Sydney, and Melbourne are magnets for investment, with their developed real estate markets and proximity to China. In Canada, investment has largely been concentrated in Vancouver, although that trend is changing with some accelerated levels of investing in Toronto and other cities. In the UK, London is the primary target for investment.
