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).

The United States real estate market has become a preferred destination for Chinese capital. Chinese investors have also been particularly active in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada, among others.

So, what are Chinese investors looking for in real estate?

We have put together a list of the things Chinese buyers specifically look for in the real estate they purchase.

• Education – proximity to top-notch high schools and universities

• Financial Security – investing for future generations

• Cachet – conveyance of wealth through a well-known location

• Yield – investment return through rental income

• Visas – regulations benefit Chinese tourists, investors or migrants

• Value – price comparison versus Chinese real estate

• Connections – easy direct flight access to China

• Feng Shui – properties that abide by Feng Shui rules

• Numerology – a propensity for the numbers 6, 8 and 9
