vancity buzz今天又是热闹非凡。一篇老生常谈的高房价文章之后，又开始了对中国人的批斗大会。
Chinese buyers spike Vancouver's luxury home market by 79%
The luxury home market in Vancouver doesn’t seem to be affected by the recently announced Canada-wide recession, and RE/MAX largely attributes the hot market to foreign buyers.
Demand for homes priced at $3 million or more has spiked 79 per cent between January and July of this year in Vancouver and a whopping 119 per cent in Toronto, both because of foreign investment – in particular from China.
And according to RE/MAX, these investors are actually living in their homes.
“While there has been a lot of concern about foreign investors in Canada’s housing market, we’re seeing that the foreign buyers in our major luxury markets are living in their properties,” said Gurinder Sandhu, Executive Vice President, RE/MAX INTEGRA Ontario-Atlantic Canada Region in a statement.
There has been major concern over foreign investment in Vancouver’s real estate market and even prompted Mayor Gregor Robertson to propose a possible speculation tax on it back in May. That was quashed by Christy Clark, who said she was worried about housing prices dropping.
Data is limited on what percentage of foreign buyers make up Vancouver’s housing market, but the British Columbia Real Estate Association said in a report that they don’t make up more than 5 per cent of the overall market. The association recommended that the provincial government look into the issue so we can establish some firm numbers.
Around 77 per cent of Vancouverites support an absentee homeowner tax, according to anInsights West poll.
不管三七二十一，标题直指中国买家
我想温哥华目前的形式，报纸媒体连篇累牍的报道高房价问题，实际上映射的就是中国对加拿大的负面影响，无论是移民也好，非加籍或者有绿卡的中国人，还是中国这个国家，已经完全处于舆论的风口浪尖，和社会不满的出气口。各个论坛的种族主义言论已经到了触目惊心的地步，和美国南部密西西比这种地方，已经没有什么区别了。只差对中国人公然的暴力了。
