Although an impending China-US trade war has made financial markets volatile, Chinese real estate buyers have stayed calm, reports Realtor Mag (11 April 2018). “At this point, most Chinese buyers are cautiously optimistic,” said Carrie Law, CEO of Juwai.com, a Chinese international real estate website. "From all sides, you hear that this trade war is not likely to escalate to the point where it is a serious threat to international trade and relations. At this stage, most property investors seem to feel the trade war will amount to no more than a noisy argument between two friends who later will hug and make up.” According to Juwai data, Chinese enquiries for US properties were 26.2% higher month-on-month in March 2018.
