Cashed-up foreigners snap up homes
http://www.news.com.au/money/property/cashed-up-foreigners-snap-up-homes/story-e6frfmd0-1225870016929

# Foreigners buy $14.9b in property
# Victoria most sought-after state

CASHED-UP foreigners snapped up $14.9 billion worth of houses and land in Australia last year, including $2.49 billion worth of existing homes.

It shows the Government issued 4827 real-estate approvals to foreign investors last year for commercial and residential properties.

But the figures are incomplete, because the Government changed the rules in April last year so foreigners no longer had to notify the FIRB if the property was to be their principal place of residence.

In 2007-08, the biggest foreign investment in both residential and commercial real estate in Australia was made by buyers from the US, Britain and the United Arab Emirates.

Hardly an exhaustive investigation, sample size of 58 properties, hmmmmm. A political wash over to cover another back flip by KRUDD.

That crew are not anti-property (we all need shelter) per say, the are anti-high-prices-don't benefit society bloggers. Some may naively believe that if a crash occurs then they will be able to snap up bargains but in reality if a crash occurs what will be a bargain, environment will have changed, there may not be a bounce to profit from their purchase.

Cheers

I'm not on any side of the boom bust argument but that article looked at "unlawfully" bought houses. I read recently that many Chinese were clubbing together and using a family member resident in Australia to purchase properties on their behalf for investment. I presume these are lawful purchases, but against the intention of the legislation.
 
hello,

really, so they just lobbing $ to somebody to buy a property, no name on title

just pulling the cash out from matteress or are they getting a line of credit against house/property in China

keep ramping it up, explod's keen for it

thankyou

They're a tiny percentage, but considering it's a percentage of ~1.2billion or so people there must be quite a lot of them and the rich upperclass in china are seriously, stupidly rich.

What I'm saying is that there are people in china who really do just have cash lying around and could afford to buy an Australian house. Whether they really are teaming up to buy multiple properties under family members names or not I have no idea, but if I was a rich chinese I would certainly look at ways of diversifying my money out of china as a bit of a fallback, wouldn't you?
 

In the last year or so there have never been more homes sold in the higher up areas of Melbourne and record prices of all time too, in Toorak, Brighton and Armadale I have noted prominent people selling out where they have lived for long periods, they have sold very well because of the three LLL's of course but I note there was often the story that they were going to rent for awhile, wonder why? Eh, its how the rich get very much richer, sell at around the top, wait for awhile and then strike a bargain.

It can be seen in a lot of ways this property business.
 
Revised Reiv Clearance Rate 74%

With an extra 54 auctions added to the numbers, now everything adds up correctly(funny though the 'sold before' has reduced from 192 to 101) ..........as a matter of interest, if you take out the 'Sold Before' and 'Sold After' and only account for those that sold on the auction day you end up with a clearance rate of 70%

cheers
 
In Brisbane, only $6.5 million of property sold at auction over the weekend, about half of the $12.8m auctioned the previous weekend. The city's 21.7 per cent clearance rate was 14 percentage points lower this week.

Discuss.
 
In Melbourne, APM figures showed just $93.3m in property sold over the weekend, down substantially from $239.3m the previous weekend.

What's there to discuss? Melbourne has crashed. Not a slowdown, but a fully fledged capitulation!!

Which means that either Enzo's figures are false or that it is a MASSIVE firesale which is explaining the clearance rates. I would say that it is a combination of both. Vendors are taking what they can get while they can.

But hang on....I thought this could only happen when interest rates reach 10%

REIV last weekend auctions $399.58mil...........this weekend $411.59mil

That's a far cry from the APM figures

In Sydney the auction clearance rate was up 2.5% to 63.2% ... still down on the 70% clearance rate recorded in the first quarter. Adelaides increased by 6% to 51.4%. Maybe auctions are beginning to show their age and the people are going back to the good old offer and acceptance method. Any data on this ? Auctions in WA are not the rage at all and most property is sold by private treaty and settlement agents handle the documents rather than solicitors. Clearance rates falling does not necessarily mean the price is falling. It could mean that the greedy Real Estate Agents have coached their vendor to a higher selling position which is unatainable in this current market.
