[VANCOUVER] The hottest market in the world for luxury real estate? Victoria, British Columbia.

温哥华是世界上最热门的豪华房地产市场吗？不列颠哥伦比亚省的省会维多利亚市才是。

Thanks to Chinese and US buyers, the provincial capital of 85,000 off Canada’s Pacific Coast shot to the top of the "luxury thermometer" in the latest annual report from Christie’s International Real Estate.

佳士得国际地产最新年度报告表明，多亏了中国和美国的买家，这个加拿大太平洋沿岸有85000人的省会城市登上了“豪华房地产市场”的顶端。

The study looked at the change in sales, price and time on the market from 2016 to 2017, converting to US dollars and including factors such as “buying trends, destination preferences and lifestyle amenities” in its definition of luxury.

该研究考察了2016年至2017年间市场的销售，价格和时间的变化，并把这些变化转化为美元，并在其奢侈品定义中纳入了诸如“购买趋势，目的地偏好和生活方式设施”等因素。

Victoria was only fifth-hottest based on average price -- up 6 per cent to US$1.2 million from 2016, with a high of US$9 million -- behind Paris; Washington; Orange County, California; and San Diego.

按平均价格计算，维多利亚市仅排第五，相比2016年均价增长了6%，即上涨120万美元，如今均价高达900万美元。但落后于华盛顿; 奥兰治县;加尼福利亚和圣地亚哥。

But the little city of afternoon teas and lush gardens soared when it came to sales volume and speed, which Christie’s weighted more heavily.

以下午茶和郁郁葱葱的花园著称的这个小城市，该市的销售量和销售速度飞速上涨，此前，佳士得预估的销售量和销售速度比这还要高。

The number of sales grew by 29 per cent from 2016, while the average time to find a buyer was only 32 days, among the fastest turnover anywhere.

从2016年开始，销售额增长了29%，并且每32天就成交一单，这是世界最快的营销速度之一。

British Columbia, seeking to cool a run-up in property prices that has stirred local outrage, has been taxing foreign purchases of property in Vancouver by as much as 20 per cent since 2016 and recently extended the levy’s reach to include Victoria, at the tip of Vancouver Island. Ontario followed with a 15 per cent tax last year in Toronto.

房地产价格的上涨激起了当地人的愤怒, 英属哥伦比亚省试图给房地产价格降温。自2016年以来一直对温哥华的外国购房征税高达20%, 最近将征税的范围扩大到包括温哥华岛角上的维多利亚。安大略省去年在多伦多税收达15%。

That’s unlikely to kill the appetite for million-dollar mansions in Victoria. Sales in Vancouver and Toronto have slowed, but prices haven’t fallen, and Christie’s expects the provincial capital to hold up too.

但是这一做法并不会减弱房地产商销售豪宅的野心。温哥华和多伦多的销售有所放缓，但价格并未下跌，佳士得预计该省的资本也将保持不变。

Plus, it’s a bargain. The typical luxury sale in New York City was US$3.6 million. And where was the most expensive residential sale in the world last year? This one you just might guess.

另外,这是一种讨价还价。在纽约，最奢侈房价售额是360万美元。去年世界上最昂贵的住宅销售在哪里?这个你们可能会猜到。

Hong Kong. For US$360 million.

在香港，以3.6亿美元的高价售出。
