太牛了!美國房價低,中國就有出國購房旅行團!前兩天在長城衛星電視節目中看到一個別致的出國旅行團!都是些三、四十歲的白領夫婦,在美國的房地產經紀人的帶領下,在紐約曼哈頓,洛杉磯,舊金山等美國大都會城市看房,看著這些來自於中國大陸的年輕人,我感到驚歎不已,“在美國沒有身份怎麽貸款買房呢?”“哈哈。。。”老公在一邊說“人家是用現金買房,一次付清。”“啊?這麽多大款啊?”
今天隻好看到有網友提到的這篇文章:
Plan to Solve Crisis: Let Immigrants Buy Houses看看:
Posted Mar 19, 2009 03:52pm EDT by Aaron Task
The Fed's actions to lower mortgage rates won't stop home prices from falling, because lower rates aren't enough to sop up the huge supply of excess housing inventory, says John Mauldin, president of Millennium Wave Advisors and author of the popular "Thoughts from the Frontline" e-letter.
Instead, Mauldin believes the U.S. government should pursue a controversial idea that's been floated a few times in the past year, including here by Gary Shilling, among others: give immigrants a pathway to citizenship if they buy a house.
The economic benefits of this concept are potentially powerful:
* An inflow of foreign money into the U.S. economy, which will both boost the dollar and the economy because of related spending.
* Help sop up the supply of excess homes on the market, which will help put a floor under prices and revive the construction industry, creating jobs.
* Help shore up America's middle class. This assumes most immigrants with the money to buy a home are educated, white-collar workers who can help do what immigrants have done throughout U.S. history - energize the country as they pursue the American dream.
Note: Mauldin doesn't support giving financial incentives to immigrants or making citizenship automatic with a home purchase. We discussed whether this idea could ever fly politically. Mauldin believes that many Americans would welcome hard-working individuals into their neighborhoods to put a floor on their own housing prices and make the local economy thrive. What do you think?
