More New Zealand houses are being sold to people who live in China, according to real estate agents.

Tony Alexander, BNZ chief economist, said the latest BNZ-REINZ Residential Market Survey showed a quarter of all houses or apartments sold to foreigners were going to the Chinese.

"Whereas last year in March, 15 per cent of dwelling sales to people offshore were to people in China and in May 20 per cent, this March, the proportion is 25 per cent. So a rising proportion of sales going offshore are to people in China of which about 41 per cent are considered as likely to shift to New Zealand," Alexander said. Agents said of all the sales they handle, 6.4 per cent are to people who live overseas.

He has previously advocated that New Zealand should adopt Australia's more restrictive approach to foreigners buying houses.

Australia, Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Canada all have measures to defend their housing stock against foreign buyers.

的确应该像澳洲一样限制外国买家。本地工作的人根本赶不上房价的上涨

它母親的，離岸人士購房者只有四分之一是中國人，這本身就説明不是中國海外買家決定性的哄擡房價。它這標題想誤導些啥。

一想起中国人民占世界人民的比例同英国人口占世界人口的比例。国外买家中，25%是CHINESE你就释然了。Tony Alexander 就没明白这一点。
