HAO Realty Shanghai

We have put together a guide to help expats who are going to relocate to Shanghai. Check it out here: http://haorealty.com/shanghai-expat-relocation-guide.pdf

As 2018 is now behind us, we have taken the chance to get a quick look at last year’s state of Shanghai’s residential leasing market. Based on all available and expat-relevant market information (last year we have made status updates to 11,645 rental properties), you can find out which are the most affordable and most expensive areas in Shanghai for expats, and learn about the average prices for various property types and layouts in different residential areas. For better context of the data used for this market report please note: As we are specialized in finding short- and long-term housing for expats (in the sense of professionals sent on Shanghai assignments by their employers), we mostly handle high-end properties that can meet the (often very high) standards said expats are used to in their home countries. Such properties are fitted with imported, modern electronics and home appliances, from home entertainment, over kitchen equipment, to under-floor heating, etc...
