Although the coronavirus pandemic is generally slowing down the real estate sector worldwide, Chinese investors continued to look for good deals in the first quarter of 2020, especially in Germany. Based on the investment volume of Chinese investors, Germany was ranked as one of the top five destinations for foreign investment in the first quarter. Unsurprisingly, Germany has always been the most popular destination for Chinese investors from 2007 to 2019 according to the relative foreign investment data. Why are Chinese investors still looking for real estate in Germany during the coronavirus pandemic? This country has shed light on its appeals from different perspectives during the coronavirus crisis. Compared to other countries in Europe, Germany has handled the coronavirus pandemic much better in the eyes of citizens of other countries. The pandemic was under control relatively quickly after the first death caused by the coronavirus in Germany. The accessible healthcare system and effective political leadership lead to a stable society in Germany. In addition, the low unemployment rate indicates a strong economic environment in the country. Chinese investors therefore see the pandemic as anything but a bad omen for real estate purchases in Germany. For the typical Chinese culture of buying and investing abroad, countries, cities and educational institutions are traditionally the key priorities. Therefore, the great environment in Germany becomes the first choice for Chinese buyers. On the other hand, real estate offers relatively low-risk returns, prompting investors to diversify their investment portfolios. The trend of rising prices in the real estate sector leads to great advantages in the housing industry. Over the next few years, real estate will continue to be an attractive investment for Chinese investors.
