SHANGHAI - The sales of commercial homes in 2010 fell 42.4 percent from that in 2009 in Shanghai after authorities took measures to cool down the property market.
Commercial housing sales dropped to 16.9 million square meters in 2010, according to a statement released by the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Statistics.
The speculative demand in the real estate market had been effectively curbed after the central and local governments unveiled tightening measures, which include home purchase restrictions, higher down payments and lending rate hikes, the statement said.

REAL ESTATE MARKET STATUS
OVERSEAS PROPERTY OVERVIEW
Individual Chinese investors are accelerating their expansion into the overseas property market as tightening measures on the sector at home continue to restrict their opportunities.
So far, 13 local governments have rolled out policies to restrict the number of homes that a family can purchase. The further increase in down-payments for both first and second homes has also raised the cost of investment.
According to Real Capital Analytics, China-based companies have invested more than USD 3 billion in the US real estate market this year. The figure does not include US-based Chinese companies or other intermediaries. Statistics from the US National Association of Realtors also show that investors from China are the most likely foreign investors to purchase US properties valued at USD 1 million and more.
