A Record-Breaking Year for International Real Estate in the U.S.
In the past year, foreign buyers spent a record $56 billion on U.S. residential real estate, according to industry reports—a staggering 33% increase from the year before. This represents the first major international rebound since the pandemic and signals a significant shift in today’s luxury real estate market.
At Douglas Elliman, and especially in dynamic markets like Dallas, this trend is being felt across neighborhoods and price points. Whether it’s high-rise condos, gated estates, or new-construction investment properties, international demand is back—and stronger than ever.
Why This Matters for Sellers and Buyers
As this surge continues, it’s crucial to understand why working with a globally connected real estate agent is no longer optional—it’s essential.
Foreign Buyers Are Targeting Top U.S. Markets
According to Robb Report, the top states attracting international buyers include:
-
Florida
-
California
-
Texas
-
New York
-
Arizona
What’s more, nearly 50% of international purchases are being made in cash, giving these buyers a strong competitive edge.
