Douglas Elliman CEO Dottie Herman added in the report that moneyed Chinese real estate investors are flocking to the U.S. due to the “problematic real estate market in China.”
“They’re parking money in the property market as investments and also using it as a short-term home for their college-aged children,” Herman was quoted saying in the report.
Chinese buyers topped the list of international home buyers in the U.S. this year, according to the National Association of Realtor’s report 2014 Profile of International Home Buying Activity. According to the report China led the list in terms of dollar volume, with $22 billion worth of investments in the U.S.
