BOX HILL - $13.3 million
Agents have noted that Chinese buyers are having no difficulty in securing funds, after the recent sale of a development site in Box Hill closed well above expectations.
The property encompasses two adjoining sites at 941-945 and 947 Whitehorse Road with a combined 917sqm.
"The price was definitely one thing that surprised us - But also, the amount of people and the fact that so many bidders were from Chinese groups,” said CBRE manager Chao Zhang.
"We're in a market where everyone thinks there's no more Chinese investment. Everyone thinks there's no money coming out of China. They're obviously wrong."
Chao Zhang sold the property with CBRE colleagues Scott Orchard, David Minty and Mark Wizel.
