Chinese buyers not pushing up Aussie home prices

A Deakin University research paper also reveals Chinese buyers prefer houses over apartments, usually spend less than $800,000 and school zones aren’t a top priority.

Deakin Business School researcher Dr Mona Chung surveyed 367 Chinese buyers who have purchased property in Australia, revealing some unexpected responses.

Dr Chung said she was surprised by what motivated property purchases by Chinese buyers, with public transport rather than school zones topping their wish list.
