China has a massive real estate market and locals invest as much as two-thirds of their savings in real estate.

By comparison, US citizens invest around one-third in real estate, diversifying investments in different assets.

Due to its vast size, it’s hard to review China’s real estate market as a whole. Instead, many analysts review markets by cities and clusters.

While Shanghai has experienced a significantly overheated real estate market, cities like Wuhan have been promising.

If you’re a foreigner and plan to invest in Chinese real estate, you will most likely work with a local real estate agent.

While there are plenty of multinationals available, you can also find many small-sized agents.

In this article, we primarily review larger companies that help foreign investors with procurements of commercial and residential property. But, we will also review smaller agencies that can be suitable for individual buyers.
