Due to China’s rapidly economic growth, the trading volume and price increase obviously. The sample composites with the housing price index and economic growth rate of China’s 35 cities over the period of 1998 to 2009.

Second, The investors live in big-size cities can obtain more benefits, who invest middle-size cities, while the investors live in small-size cities can obtain more benefits, who also invest middle-size cities.

Fourth, highly-diversification investors have a higher diversification effect than lowly-diversification investors. That is to say, the investors can hold various city houses based on the economic growth rate to increase the diversification efficiency.
