Yes probably in some cases - But I think a lot of 'socialist' laws could also be a target.

For example, it will be interesting to see how AirBnb will affect house prices in countries which are currently deemed 'tenant-friendly' (as opposed to 'landlord-friendly') - Those countries have laws designed to make property investment unsavoury for landlords and this has kept house prices down so far, but with the flexibility of renting out through AirBnb, housing might become an attractive investment option in those countries.
