Purchase should not be banned, but ownership of properties purchased by foreign investors should not be recorded in public registries, nor recognised by the courts.

 @9VTCDFBanswered…6mos6MO

We should place a large tax on the purchase of residential properties by foreign investors and interstate investors.

 @9VRBZQXanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, but allow only max 2 houses per a person/company per state. Exception: if it is actively being used for legal commercial uses.

 @9VPSQ9Xanswered…6mos6MO

Requires limitation to protect the abnormal market fluctuation by financial stance differences

 @9TQ5HHDanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, but only for FDI (foreign direct investment) to protect housing for locals.

 @9TKSK4Danswered…7mos7MO

Yes, 👍🏻 foreign investors should not be granted permissions to purchase residential properties

 @9SQ6SGWanswered…7mos7MO

 @9VYX78Ranswered…6mos6MO

Yes, during the current housing crisis out of country residential purchases should be holted or limited

 @9W2XZ44answered…6mos6MO

Foreign investors aren't the cause of the housing crisis - restrict the amount of properties one person can purchase, and get rid of landlords

 @9VZ8VMFCoalitionanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, so long as it doesn't have too much of a damaging effect on the housing economy

 @B32RT3FLaboranswered…2mos2MO

Yes, and also ensure a percentage of housing is made available specifically for those who utilize housing for its intended purpose.

 @9ZM933Ganswered…5mos5MO

If you are not an Australian citizen there is no reason you need owning residential property in Australia. There are many things to invest in without peoples home life being the roulette table. Housing needs to be set free from capitalism.

 @B2CYF93answered…3mos3MO

No, however they should dramatically increase stamp duty and increase capital gains taxes upon sales of residential properties by foreign investors.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

In your view, why do some cities choose to open their housing markets to foreign buyers, while others look to restrict it?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How differently do you think investors see a home compared to someone who actually wants to live in it?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

What kind of balance should be struck between protecting local buyers and encouraging global investors in a city's real estate market?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Could restricting who buys property change how communities feel or look, and would that be a good or bad thing?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

If you lived in a country where locals were priced out of the market, what would you do to address the problem?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Have you ever considered living or investing abroad, and how would you feel if you were restricted from doing so?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Have you ever felt like you couldn't compete in a market because outside forces were driving up prices, and how does that feel?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Is it fair for governments to prioritize local residents in the housing market, or should investment opportunities be open to everyone?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How do you think limiting foreign buyers can impact your dream of owning a home one day?

 @B2SGP8Zanswered…2mos2MO

Depends on the purpose of the purchase. If it's to live in full-time I see no problem with foreign investors purchasing residential properties. If it's for business purposes or to be used several weeks a year as a holiday-home, residents should take priority

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Do you believe that keeping homes affordable for locals should take precedence over encouraging foreign investments in the economy?
