As the Year of the Monkey gives way to the Year the Rooster, Chinese consumers are expected to travel abroad and hunt for properties among other things, reports the Financial Times (25 January 2017). A survey by Juwai.com, China's most popular international real estate website, showed that more than a third of overseas real estate professionals expect enquiries from Chinese nationals over the holiday. “We find that the wealthier buyers are more likely to combine property hunting with tourism during Chinese new year,” said Charles Pittar, CEO of Juwai.com.
