I'm a real estate agent in Beijing and I know this market quite well. The prediction is that the real estate market in China is not going to slow down in the short term. More and more apartment buildings are springing up and people's enthusiasm to buy is not being surpressed by the price. The return on investment can reach as high as 30%, due to the Olympics.

I have apartments/villa/offices for rent/sale in Beijing and I help foreign expats on real estate investment decisions. Questions are welcomed. Thanks.
