A new stamp duty for foreign investors in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, has raised concerns among real estate experts, reports the Australian Financial Review (15 june 2016). This is especially true in the wake of similar measures in Hong Kong and Singapore that have significantly cooled markets and deterred foreign buyers. However, Gavin Norris, Head of Australia of Juwai.com, notes that if policies are perceived as fair and not onerous, they it’s unlikely they’ll have a "particular impact" on Chinese buyers. He also points out that “We shouldn't take these buyers for granted, because they are smart and mobile. Nothing is forcing them to invest in the east coast of Australia."
