What do these foreign investors plan on doing with these high-end properties once there are no more wealthy foreign investors to pay the rediculously high prices? Once everyone else is priced out, then what?
Then the bubble pops! That's not going happen anytime soon though.
I don't think most foreign property buyers are looking for returns, hence them being ok with paying very high prices. They're probably not a part of the buy to let investors, as they're just looking for a safe place to park a portion of their money and possibly a place to live if they ever want to leave their country or raise their kids abroad.
I might be wrong about this though.
Interesting take. I've read a lot about the Chinese real estate market over the past couple years and part of me thinks they're doing this because that's all they know how to do. Any other kind of investing would be considered much too risky, plus they already have loads of experience dealing with high end real estate.
The bubble will pop, just not sure when. It seems like people have been predicting doomsday scenarios for the Chinese market for a while now with no such results.
