Tourism value of Chinese students came with

And outside the campus, but also a symbol of Chinese students to the United States every year to play a considerable population. why? Because unlike the students to other countries, Chinese students parents will read along with the United States, these parents will spend at least $ 500,000 purchase of real estate in the United States.

According to the National Association of Realtors (National Association of Realtors) statistics, these Chinese parents constitute a large part of the US housing market in China buyers. And China, an international real estate website also confirmed that education is the primary motivation for Chinese buyers. This is important, because the Chinese topped the list in buying US residential real estate to foreign buyers.

For the gradual rise of the Chinese middle class, the purchase of real estate in the United States is a very wise investment choice.
