ATO数据公布：67%的外资澳洲住宅，来自中国

Group 1 - The data released by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) indicates that approximately 67% of residential properties registered as "foreign-owned" in Australia are associated with Chinese buyers [2][4] - The statistics are derived from the ATO's Foreign Ownership of Australian Assets Register, covering newly acquired properties held over the past eight years, not a complete list of all foreign-owned properties [4] - The majority of foreign buyers are concentrated in Victoria, with 16,929 properties (over 40% of the total) [4][6] Group 2 - From July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2024, properties still held by foreign interests include 23,550 from mainland China and 3,486 from Hong Kong [5] - The data shows that foreign buyers primarily purchase new homes (23,147 units) rather than existing homes (8,463 units), with policies now largely prohibiting foreign purchases of second-hand residential properties [8][9] - Foreign buyers account for only about 0.8% of residential transactions in Australia, indicating that over 99% of properties are purchased by local Australians [9] Group 3 - Industry experts predict that housing shortages in Australia will persist at least until 2030, with the Australian dollar remaining relatively weak [10] - Australia is viewed as a country with transparent laws, secure property rights, and a low risk of geopolitical conflict, making it attractive to foreign investors [10]
