Wonder who the biggest buyers for US Real Estate right now? Canadian snowbirds - 02/22/12 06:44 AM
Canadians are now the largest home purchasing group of any foreign demographic in the U.S., according to a survey by Credit Sesame. Florida remains the most popular destination for foreign buyers, most of whom buy property for less than $100,000 each.

South Florida real estate sales increase as available listings drops - 02/15/12 09:33 AM

Real estate got out of hand across the country, with appreciation peaking nationally at 166 percent in 2007. But in Broward, values soared 272 percent. Miami-Dade did even better, up 283 percent.
