There are 11.5 million houses in California. Estimating them to be worth, say 100K each. Perhaps there are some investors from china coming in here, but I'm betting not enough to hold that out.
Everyone says, people move every 5-7 years, lets use 10 years. That is 1.15M homes per year?
1.15M X $100,000 each = $115,000,000,000
That is quiet a bit of money. Granted they wouldn't have to buy them all up, only enough to cause prices to go up. Maybe 10% of those houses? So 1,150,000,000 per year, and they could perhaps influence the housing here. Assuming houses cost 100K of course.

Are the Chinese causing higher-end California home prices to remain high?http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-fi-china-invest4-2010mar04,0,2280130,full.story
"Private Chinese investors have begun to get into the action but, according to analysts, have generally been involved in small transactions, buying houses for their families and investing in factories and other facilities to be closer to the North American market."
