We are excited to announce two big updates to the ListHub Global service!
ListHub Global, launched in July 2013, has expanded and now includes two networks for advertising to international publisher websites – EdenHome and ListGlobally. Additionally, the EdenHome network, our first international partner, continues to grow and has added SouFun, the leading real estate portal in China. The new collaboration gives agents and brokers the ability to market their listings to international buyers in China, and provides a critical link to one of the most significant sectors of the foreign investment market.
About SouFun
SouFun, China’s fastest growing real estate listing portal, maintains a database containing real estate related content for more than 336 cities in China as well as close to 100 offices focusing on local markets. With this agreement, SouFun is bringing the U.S. housing market to Chinese buyers through internet portals highly focused on user experience.
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) 2013 Profile of International Home Buying Activity reports that China represents the second largest group of foreign home buyers, after Canada, comprising 12 percent of foreign purchases of U.S. real estate in 2012. It also has been one of the fastest-rising international investment markets, increasing 140 percent since 2007.
The rise in interest in U.S. properties from Chinese buyers in recent years has been fueled in part by the opportunity to own land outright in the U.S. In addition, recent restrictions on multiple-property ownership in China designed to help curb housing prices there have broadened the appeal of overseas investment.
