Australia’s new visa system – which will open doors for foreign primary-school students and their guardians keen to study in Australia – is projected to increase its housing demand, reports The Australian (6 June 2016). The new visa rules will allow foreign students aged six and above to apply for a student visa, and is expected to be well received by the China market. Chinese are already the largest group of international students in Australia, accounting for 27.3% of Australia’s foreign student population last year. “Anything Australia does to ­increase the number of Chinese students will also increase investment in strategic areas of the real estate market,” said Gavin Norris, the Australian head of Juwai.com.
