Hello World! (and Shanghai!)

 

Thank you everyone for checking out our new web-presence at SHRealEstate.com.

Shanghai Real Estate is going to be a blog about, well, obviously; the Shanghai Real Estate Market, it’s current situation, it’s newest trends and tips from experts and already Shanghai Homeowners.

We will publish quarterly statistics, of asking prices, and sales price. (Asking prices are more likely to be an indicator of market confidence as the final sales price is hard to determine because of tax strategies.)

Urban Planning News, Shanghai’s 20 new Metro Lines, New Developements, the expo Parks and demographic trends。

(below are the price changes from the last two weeks downtown) the average prices has taken a small dip from an average of 31850 to about 31620 Rmb / sqm.)

Shanghai Real Estate will features guest columns from Real Estate Investors, Contractors, Economists and outside views since foreign investment is an important driver of Shanghai’s internal economy.

I of course hope that there will be many interesting unexpected news to write about and am looking forward to hear about your experiences in buying, renovating, and investing.

We’ll feature a few of our own Shanghai Place properties to show you the best of the best in the SH Market Place.

In the tumult, with Shanghai and Shenzhen’s Stock indexe’s loosing more than 60% of it’s value in a year, the american financial crisis just unfolding, the u.s. housing markets further falling,  china’s exports slumping, the yuan rising, 

We want to make the site as useful as possible to you, so we really want to encourage YOU to make suggestions on topics and news to cover.

Shanghai’s House Sale Transaction Volume has fallen more than 44% outside the outer ring road and 22% within the inner ring road.
Developer’s are adjusting prices, most notably Hutchison’s hot “Maison de Artistes” in Gubei, which quoted prices 10% less from it’s originally intendet prices.
