Chinese nationals became the largest foreign buyers of US homes last year as they pour billions into American real estate, seeking safe offshore assets, according to a new study.
根據(jù)一項新研究，去年，中國人為了尋求安全的海外資產(chǎn)，投入上億美元，成為美國房地產(chǎn)的最大買家。
A huge surge in Chinese buying of both residential and commercial real estate last year took their five-year investment total to more than $110 billion, according to the study from the Asia Society and Rosen Consulting Group.
根據(jù)亞洲協(xié)會和羅森咨詢公司的研究報告，從2010至2015年的5年時間里，中國人在美國房地產(chǎn)市場累計投資額至少達到了1,100億美元，不僅成為住房市場最大的外國買家，而且還在迅速進入商業(yè)地產(chǎn)市場。
The sheer size of that total has helped the real estate market recover from the crash that began in 2006 and precipitated the 2008 economic crisis, they said.
如此規(guī)模龐大的總投資也幫助美國的房地產(chǎn)市場從2006年的崩潰以及2008年的經(jīng)濟危機中恢復。
And despite a slowdown due to Beijing’s clampdown on capital outflows, the figure for the second half of this decade is likely to double to $218 billion, the study said.
研究稱，即使中國目前限制資本外流，接下來5年的數(shù)字也會翻一翻，達到2180億美元左右。
"What makes China different and noteworthy is the combination of the high volume of investment (and) the breadth of its participation across all real estate categories," the study said. The authors of the study said their numbers, based on public and real estate industry data, understate the total. They necessarily miss purchases made by front companies and trusts that don’t identify the sources of the funds.
研究稱，“讓中國與眾不同和值得注意的，是其對房地產(chǎn)投資的額度和廣度。”但報告作者同時表示，報告基于公開數(shù)據(jù)，可能低估了實際情況，未能包括一些前沿公司和信托并未公開其資金來源。
While big deals, like the Anbang insurance group’s $2.0 billion purchase of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York last year, and its failed $14 billion offer for the Starwood group in March, make headlines, the study said Chinese buying of US homes far outpaces its investment in commercial land and buildings.
研究稱，盡管安邦去年20億美元收購華爾道夫酒店以及今年3月份放棄140億收購喜達屋都是轟動的新聞，但中國人在美國購買住房的總額超過了對商業(yè)土地和建筑的投資。
Between 2010 and 2015, Chinese buyers put more than $17 billion into US commercial real estate, with half of that spent last year alone.
從2010到2015年，中國買家在美國商業(yè)房產(chǎn)上投入約170億美元，其中一半是去年投資。
But during the same period at least $93 billion went into US homes. And in the 12 months to March 2015, the latest period for which relatively comprehensive data could be gathered, home purchases totalled $28.5 billion.
但在同一時期，至少930億流入美國住宅房產(chǎn)。2014年3月到2015年3月(這也是能收集到相關數(shù)據(jù)的最近的時期)，這一數(shù)字達到了285億美元。
That put the Chinese past Canadians, who have long been the biggest foreign buyers of US residential real estate.
這些數(shù)據(jù)讓中國人超越加拿大買家，成為美國房產(chǎn)的最大外國業(yè)主。
Geographically, Chinese buyers are concentrated in the most expensive markets: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle.But Chicago, Miami and Las Vegas have also drawn buyers.
從區(qū)域上看，中國買家主要集中在一些比較昂貴的市場，像紐約、洛杉磯、舊金山和西雅圖，不過，芝加哥、邁阿密和拉斯維加斯也很熱門。
That focus means they pay well above the average US home price: last year, Chinese buyers paid on average about $832,000 per home in the United States, compared to the average for all foreign purchases of $499,600.
這意味著，中國買家支付的平均房價超過了美國住宅地產(chǎn)的均價，去年，中國買家的這一價格是每套房832000美元，而外國買家花費的平均價格是499600美元。
The motivations are broad: some are buying second homes, some are buying as they move to the United States on EB-5 investor visas; some are investing for rental and resale.
中國買家的動機很多，一些人買二手房，一些人因為政府 EB-5的投資移民項目買房，還有人買房為出租和倒手再賣。
Most of the money in US homes, the study noted, is private wealth, not corporate.
中國買家的錢大部分來自個人而非公司。
"This familiarity of utilizing real estate as an investment or wealth preservation tool is more prevalent in China and reflects the broader comfort of purchasing second homes in the United States by Chinese individuals and families," the study noted.
研究稱，在中國，人們更習慣把投資房地產(chǎn)作為一種投資以及財富保值的手段，這也反映出中國許多個人和家庭覺得在美國買第二套房更舒適。
Since last year, there has also been the motivation to get money outside China and into dollar assets amid worry about the continued fall in the yuan, which was devalued slightly against the dollar in August.
報告稱，從去年開始，由于擔心人民幣貶值，也有中國人開始把資金外移，并轉(zhuǎn)換成以美元結(jié)算的資產(chǎn)。去年8月，人民幣曾小幅度貶值
The study says it expects a lot more commercial real estate buys in the United States by Chinese companies.
這項報告預計，未來中國公司將會購入更多美國的商業(yè)地產(chǎn)。
Last month, Chinese conglomerate HNA announced it would buy the 1,400-hotel group Carlson Hotels, owner of the Radisson brand.
上月，中國海航集團剛剛宣布成功收購卡爾森酒店集團旗下的1400家酒店，品牌包括麗笙酒店。
"Anbang is not the only firm looking at these assets. Other Chinese entities were originally interested in acquiring Starwood in 2015 before Marriott reached an initial deal, including Jin Jiang Hotel Group, which had already acquired a European hotel chain in 2015, and CIC, the sovereign wealth fund," the study said.
安邦不是唯一一家尋求海外資產(chǎn)的公司，在萬豪國際集團2015年達成初步收購喜達屋酒店之前，就有不少中國公司對其表示感興趣，包括2015年已經(jīng)成功收購一家歐洲連鎖酒店的錦江酒店集團以及中國人民保險公司。
