predicts that searches by Chinese investors for Canadian property will increase about 10 per cent in 2019 compared with 2018. The growth rate will be fairly flat compared with last year when searches increased eight per cent during a year of fluctuating demand.

Ms. Law says buyers from China are less interested in purchasing in the United States. An intentional slowdown on visa processing, the uncertainty surrounding the government shutdown and worries about future fallout from the trade war all contribute to the chill, she says.
