This was followed by \u201cown use\u201d at 37%, 25% and 34%.<\/li>\n<li>The single highest motivation for Juwai.com property enquirers interested in Calgary real estate was \u201cown use\u201d, at 62%.<\/li>\n<li>27% of Toronto and Vancouver enquirers, and 23% and 21% of Montreal and Calgary enquirers, indicated that investment was a motivation.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Immigration was the least frequently cited motive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"image_block_single\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sothebysrealty.ca\/insightblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Graph-2.png\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Demand for conventional housing outweighs luxury demand:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chinese homebuyers have been credited as an influential segment of purchasers within the Canadian luxury real estate market; however, Juwai.com data dispels the notion that their interest is limited to the high-end segment.
