Frequently asked questions
How strong is Chinese demand for Perth property?
China ranks #1 among published foreign-buyer nationalities for Perth (ATO Register, 2024-25), and our own demand signals read prospect demand as strong. The ranking is a published record; the demand reading is a modelled estimate, not a record of actual purchases.
Why does Chinese show demand for Perth despite the distance?
For long-haul corridors the destination itself is the draw: safety, yield, residency or lifestyle outweigh distance. PropScient weights these market pull factors accordingly.
Which languages should campaigns targeting Chinese buyers use?
Campaigns reaching Chinese buyers typically run in Simplified Chinese (Mandarin). Measuring demand in the buyer's own language matters too — English-only measurement under-reads several major markets, which PropScient corrects for in its native-language demand lanes.
What messaging resonates with Chinese buyers considering Perth?
Lead with the destination itself: Perth's story carries the campaign — sell the market first, the unit second. Advertise in Simplified Chinese (Mandarin): English-only creative under-reaches this market. These angles reframe the corridor's measured demand drivers; creative testing per campaign remains essential.
How does PropScient measure Chinese demand for Perth?
