In the mix of noteworthy reports this evening for manufactured housing investors and professionals in this item, that even with the trade battle, Chinese are still the #1 foreign buyers of U.S. housing.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
The National Association and CNBC reports this evening that Chinese buyers are expanding their reach in the U.S. housing market, as middle class home buyers, with numbers seeking financing, are getting in on the act.
- For 6 straight years, Chinese buyers have been the top foreign buyers in both units and dollar volume of residential housing, according to the National Association of Realtors ™ (NAR), and now they expanding to new, lower-price tiers.
- More middle-class Chinese buyers are searching for lower-priced homes and they are using mortgages much more often, said the NAR.
- While California is still the favorite among Chinese buyers, they’re moving into other markets, such as Texas, Georgia, and Florida.
- “Chinese consumers may have soured on some American products, like iPhones, but they have only sweetened on U.S. residential real estate,” said CNBC.
According the Wikipedia, about 5.6 percent of those in the U.S. are Asian Americans. But Foremost research reflects that only about 1 percent of manufactured home owners are Asian in origin.
This is one of several barriers of acceptance that the manufactured housing industry has not yet generally addressed, as the data reflects.
