Chinese buyers flooded the American housing market with more than $6 billion last year, more than purchasers from any other foreign country.

Foreign purchasers from China bought $6.1 billion in U.S. homes from April 2021 to March 2022, which the trade association’s report said was up 30% from the prior year. Canadians bought $5.5 billion in U.S. housing properties, Indians bought $3.6 billion, Mexicans $2.9 billion, and Brazilians $1.6 billion, according to a new report by the National Association of Realtors.

The average home purchased by Chinese buyers was worth just over $1 million — the most expensive average among foreign purchases and up from China's $710,000 average the year before. The report said buyers from China bought heavily in expensive states, with 31% of their purchases in California and 10% in New York. The Chinese purchases also included 7% in Indiana, 7% Florida, 5% Oklahoma, 5% Missouri, 5% Arizona, and smaller percentages elsewhere.

I don't plan on paying rent to anyone. That being said, I damn sure don't plan on renting a million dollar home.

Instead, we just send free money all over the world. Our government is so fricking dumb.

Let’s make some laws limiting rental maximum for non citizen owners to certain percentage of the purchase price to make this an unattractive investment.

A) Average price was over $1 million, so I don’t believe anyone is renting these.

B) 94% of foreign buyers weren’t from China.

C) Americans purchased $2.24 trillion in housing last year

D) But still, frick China

Our government sold us out decades ago. Every politician is in it for themselves first, corporations second, special interest group 3rd, and whatever else gets the crumbs

Rich Chinese buying a vacation home in Cali / New York for a million plus doesn’t affect the housing market in Louisiana. $6.1 billion isn’t a lot if you really think about the cost of homes these days.

And it's good for the economy. Even if they use it for rental purposes, they will be paid in USD. You can't spend USD anywhere but the US, so even if they have that money converted in to another currency, it will end up back into our economy

What about the companies that are buying up the $200k to $500k homes in many areas where middle class folks are actually feeling the squeeze?

Are they also Chinese?
