REALTORS in Australia, Britain and Canada are bracing for a surge of new interest in their already hot property markets, with early signs that wealthy Chinese investors are seeking a safe haven from the turmoil in Shanghai's equity markets.
Sydney realtor Michael Pallier said that in the past week alone, he has sold two new apartments and shown a A$13.8 million (S$13.9 million) house in the harbourside city to Chinese buyers looking for an alternative to stocks.
