Why not one Sydney trophy home bought by a foreigner in 2017

Despite 2017 marking a bull run of top-end sales in the $20 million-plus range, this year is the first time in five years in which there hasn’t been a single trophy sale to a foreign buyer, to date.

The last was the Point Piper waterfront home of luxury car importer Neville Crichton which exchanged a year ago for $60.66 million with Foreign Investment Review Board approval to Andy Wenlei Song. In 2015 there was the $27 million purchase in Rose Bay by British barrister Georgina Black and her husband, Telereal Trillium chief Graham Edwards.
