Chinese buyers accounted for $13.4 billion in real-estate purchases from 2018 - 2019. A year earlier, that number was $30.4 billion.

Foreigners are far less eager to purchase American real estate, and the current political climate may prevent these sales from rebounding.

Despite representing nearly a fifth of all real-estate sales to foreign buyers, Chinese demand shrank dramatically from the previous year. In 2018, Chinese buyers accounted for $30.4 billion in home sales. The country started restricting outbound investments in 2016, allowing residents to take only the equivalent of $50,000 out of the country, as a means of propping up the country’s currency. This not only made it more difficult to purchase real estate in America, but prompted some Chinese investors to sell their U.S. assets.
