Asian investment in US real estate driven by high-profile Chinese deals
The podcast discusses how high-profile deals from Chinese buyers have historically been a defining factor in Asian investment into US real estate. However, Chinese buyers have been in retreat in recent years, selling billions in real estate. Despite this, investors from Asia still play a significant role in US real estate.
