    Bugger - I sold out of this area too early (not). NW rail adjoining/under the block, M2 very close, odd shaped block, no street frontage to formed road, bushfire prone, non-subdivisible ;)

    I Would say it's neither a sign of strength nor a sign of weakness. Money is like water..flows from one point to another of less pressure till the landscape changes and therr are better deals vs risk...
    In 20 years, who knows..the real estate money may be going into places in Africa, etc...

    I think foreign investment will continue while the (financial) climate is good.
    May interesting point raised by others...
    One more point is the Asian concept of land banking......buying to hold (often cash) and following the capital growth.
    And "safe as houses" can be in Australia...:)
    It also gives a safe haven for those who can afford to move out from particular countries when they may experience internal difficulties.

    I think the influx of Chinese money is a sign of weakness not strength. It's the fleeing of people who know/can see the end of times for China's economy and are gittin' while the gittin's good.

    Interesting front page of the Weekend AFR today "Shanghai Rout hits property developers"
    A few of the large mainland developers that are building here in Sydney have had a shocking week w their share prices dropping. Some of which have paid overs for large dev sites

    No its 50 times, not 500.
    If/when Australia starts to clamp down on money laundering (like the rest of the first world is doing) Chinese demand would drop off sharply as a lot of the funds are illicit. Australia is preferred at the moment over other destinations since for some reason it is currently embracing corrupt cash. Evasion is easier in Australia since real estate agents and lawyers don't have to report anything.

    True its not really possible to "run out" just generate higher and more dense uses. The sky (and the physics of construction) is the limit for tower apartments.

    After the Chinese, we have 1/4 billion Indonesians and 1.3 billion Indians waiting for their day in the sun.

    I think we will see more and more from the subcontinent migration in the next decade...and heavily focussed on the 4 biggest cities. Already have seen quite a bit in in syd and Mel...Brisbane is incraesing .
