网易教育讯 据美国侨报网编译报道，富有的中国投资者以往都是倾向于把纽约和洛杉矶之类的大都市作为投资置业首选。不过，他们最新的目标已经转向全球旅游胜地夏威夷。
据《商业杂志》（Biz Journals）报道，十分了解中国富人投资动态的加拿大企业家德里克•慕斯（Derek Muhs）称，最近中国买家对夏威夷房地产的胃口猛增，一些人开始寻求购买更大的地产项目，甚至和当地开发商进入实质讨论阶段。
在日前召开的“备战中国房地产投资论坛”上，慕斯向房地产精英介绍了中国买家投资夏威夷地产的特点，包括他们喜欢买什么、为什么买和如何争取中国顾客。
未来几年，中国买家在全球购买住宅和商业地产的投资额有望超过1750亿美元，夏威夷也在中国投资者的列表中。慕斯介绍，中国人喜欢买高端社区的独栋住宅，价格在50万-150万美元之间，七成买家用现金交易。
“他们之所以买房，主要是有闲置资金，希望分散投资风险，以备经济环境不景气的情况发生，”慕斯称，“他们的首选是纽约、洛杉矶、旧金山这类有好学校的成熟大都市，不过夏威夷也在中国买家最爱的10大城市中，有时还能挤进前五。”
慕斯指出，中国买家喜欢新建或者翻新过的地产项目，社区配套设施齐全，环境更熟悉。慕斯举了个例子，他的一名客户最近在洛杉矶买了套旧房，放弃了夏威夷的选择，原因是洛杉矶有更多中餐馆。
不过，夏威夷也有自己的优势，很多中国投资者认为夏威夷是很好的投资选择。
“中国投资者热衷海外置产，并且倾向于投资多元化，”慕斯称，“他们喜欢用现金交易，不愿意把鸡蛋都放在一个篮子里。这就是他们的理财投资习惯。”
在接触中国客户的过程中，信任问题是最大的挑战。比如，相比专业人士，他们更相信亲朋好友的选择。“我一个客户在希腊卖了一套房，只因为他家人也在那买了房。”
Chinese buyers have ‘insatiable appetite’ for Hawaii real estate
Wealthy Chinese buyers have an “insatiable appetite” for Hawaii real estate, and there is a group that is looking to purchase larger projects and is even in discussions with local developers, a Canadian entrepreneur and co-founder of a New York and Shanghai-based company that offers lifestyle and travel opportunities to its private network of high net worth and emerging wealth Chinese members said Wednesday.
Derek Muhs, co-founder of Affinity China and the keynote speaker at the “China Ready Real Estate Investment” seminar held at the Ala Moana Hotel, told a group of real estate industry stakeholders and others, about what the Chinese are buying in Hawaii, why they are buying it and how to connect with Chinese consumers.
Chinese real estate investors are expected to spend more than $175 billion during the next few years acquiring residential and commercial properties around the world and Hawaii is on the list of desired investment places, according to Affinity China.
The Chinese are buying single-family homes in high-end areas ranging in price from $500,000 to $1.5 million, and 70 percent of them pay cash, Muhs said.
“They buy it because they can afford it and they are looking for deals, like distressed assets and when the economy slows,” Muhs said. “They come to top locations like New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco with central locations and good schools, but Hawaii is there in the top 10, sometimes in the top five.”
He also pointed out that Chinese buyers like new, or newer, projects and look for infrastructure, such as shops and other amenities.
The Chinese also like it when businesses adapt to them.
