Are Chinese buyers coming back into the market?
Several months ago, when China was in a lock down, our enquiries spiked quite significantly. As mentioned previously, there are a few reasons for this.
Trends That Keep the Real Estate Market Going In & After the Pandemic
There is no doubt that the pandemic continues to affect our way of living. We can also be sure that after the economy reopens, we won’t be as eager to meet with a customer in a face-to-face scenario and we can forget about handshakes and other friendly greetings.

An Agent’s Guide During the Coronavirus Pandemic
What You Can do During the COVID-19 Pandemic to Help Your Business Weather this Storm?
In a typical year, the real estate would begin its Spring boom right about now; however, 2020 will be no typical year. The Coronavirus pandemic has undeniably impacted the spring schedule, making it likely that real estate market activity is going to be pushed further into the spring and possibly into the summer months. With many people postponing (or cancelling) summer holidays and hundreds of millions being placed on lock down, buyers and sellers have been looking at properties online, even more so than they usually do. When society resumes its normal rhythm, and it will, pent-up demand will likely yield a surge of activity in the market. As a real estate professional, you’ll want to capitalize on this interest and hit the ground running. Make sure you are positioned properly through ListGlobally’s global listing coverage and integrated platforms to help you secure new business.

Real Estate Trends: What to Expect During 2020 in the USA?
If in the beginning of 2019, and after years of steady growth and low interest rates, many real estate and financial gurus expected a correction, and new opportunities to arise fuelled by technology, demographic changes, and the continued winding-down of traditional retail. But what will happen in 2020?
High demand and lower mortgage rates
This will be a year where the high demand and lower mortgage rates will likely continue. However property prices will increase because there are a few listings coming into the market when compared to the demand. As such, some may focus on investing on expensive and higher-profit houses than low inventories of entry-level homes.
The economic diversity and a high quality of life will especially impact this year’s top ten markets for real estate investors and developers.
Affordability will fall
The inventory of homes for sale has been falling steadily for several years and that led to price increase, leading to an affordability issue. As demand increases, due to the growing number of millennials entering the market, the supply of homes for sale could hit its lowest in history. The situation will only be exacerbated by the baby boom generation. According to Realtors 2020 forecast, Millennials will dominate the housing market, accounting for 50% of all mortgages by spring, according to the forecast.
2020 Realtors Forecast
Even though there's a strong US economy that has driven the unemployment rate to record low levels, and even though sellers are motivated, they are likely to get fewer offers in total due to more buyers being priced out of the market as we can see on the graphic below.
One other proof of that is the Case Shiller Home Price Index in the US. This index reached an all-time high of 218.43 Index Points in October of 2019, making it difficult for first-time home-buyers to afford a home.
However, there's "mean-inversion," which can raise the probability of a market correction after years of a big run.
Technology continues to reshape the real estate sector
Technology will continue reshaping the real estate sector, and it will take a greater role in the financial ecosystem, moving into the space left by banks.
If in 2019, billions of dollars were already spend in new business models as us iBuyer platforms and in some Proptech Unicorns like WeWork and Katerra, in 2020 we might expect venture capitalists to be more cautious about their investments in real estate. Proptech money will probably follow big data start-ups that use artificial intelligence to automate various components of the real estate experience, from AI leasing assistants to mobile buying platforms.
Note that there will be also space for companies that develop virtual and self-guided tours.
Hot markets in 2020
During 2020, urban areas will become more populated and priority will be given to use the space more carefully. There will be smaller apartments and developers will become more innovative about how they design and build real estate. They will be looking on how to use space more efficiently, but what will be the hot cities in 2020 ?
Austin is in the first position when it comes to the cities to keep an eye on during 2020. Rising from sixth place to first in overall real estate prospects and from fourth to first place in local expectation of investor demand this is a city full of talent. It is considered to have a popular lifestyle and ambitious commitment to business and real estate expansion.
On the second position we find Raleigh-Durham. This city has been seeing impressive investment in its suburban office and multifamily sectors. Moreover, this metro market topped the rankings for homebuilding prospects. The region’s concentration of educational institutions—Duke University, the University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University, and several smaller colleges—coupled with the Research Triangle Park, has branded the area as a technology mecca, and it now has more than 89,000 tech jobs.
To finish the Top 3, we find Nashville, the 18-hour city. This is a city has a strong potential for continued investment and development.
On the Botton of the top 5 cities, we find Charlotte, that is attracting technology and manufacturing firms, and the well known Boston.

Wealthy Chinese apply to move to the UK at the highest rate since 2014 as the trade war puts them off the US
9th September 2019 / South China Morning Post
The trade war is driving rich Chinese people to drop their plans to emigrate to the US and seek alternative destinations in Europe, particularly the UK, the latest data suggests. Applications for so-called tier-1 investor visas to the UK by ultra-wealthy Chinese jumped by more than half to 83 – including 10 from Hong Kong – in the first quarter of 2019 from 54 in the preceding three months, according to Growthdeck.
