Further, the Chinese immigrants I know typically come years in advance to scope Canada and buy real estate before their immigration papers are approved. Therefore, to attribute the slow down to the temporary freeze does not make sense.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-82280378645034462342012-11-03T11:00:21.587-07:002012-11-03T11:00:21.587-07:00They usually pay in (corruption) cash and carry no...They usually pay in (corruption) cash and carry no mortgage.

In fact, you just might be very stressed out knowing you're already underwater and getting deeper every month. <br />As for the HAMs and Vancouver being cheap, there are equally beautiful cities in the US which have come down in price and therefore represent a far better investment/value for their money. Vancouver is a falling knife, anyone who buys now, no matter how good a deal they make, will lose money over the next few years.

A man (I believe is a Chinese realtor) was showing some properties to his clients. Our real estate is considered a bargain for the HAM. In Shenzen and Shanghai, RE is much more expensive, and you get smaller and not as nice homes. If they continue to come, they will buy. But, is it enough to keep prices high. We will see. Unlikely, but wait and see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
