A Heads Up Moment On China

Quote from achilles28:

You guys do realize that exports account for nearly half Chinas' GDP.

Whats the real driving force behind Chinas boom? A hot real estate / manufacturing sector? Or foreign demand?

What % of US GDP is export?
 
I own Prime real estate in Shanghai and Hangzhou and I can say from my experience that while prices are astronomical, many people are waiting for a drop. If I tried to sell at current market prices quoted for me, I would get no buyers. Its actually been like that since last year. I own apartments as well as commercial offices in Shanghai. It seems that while people are moving into cities at a faster rate, they are not financially able to afford it yet. I had an offer recently on one of the apartments I am trying to rent, by 7 families combining savings to pay for the rent alone.

Although if I accepted a price even 2% below fair market value, I would get a ton of buyers..

That said I still believe in the long term prices will move up...

So, what does apartment space rent for in Shanghai?

For an average apartment of 2000 sq feet, usually around 13,000 yuan/month, depending on the location it could go higher or lower. These apartments are very compact, comparable to a studio in the US. For more luxury apartments rent could go as high(or higher) as 150,000 yuan for a 3 bed 2 bath.
