Who's Coming?
International buyers are coming to the United States from all over the world, but the highest interest in U.S. property is being driven by Canada, China (The People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan), Mexico, India, and the United Kingdom, which accounted for about 54 percent of all reported international transactions.
Canadian residents continue to have the largest share of U.S. purchases, but dropped their share from 23 percent in 2013 to 19 percent in 2014. Buyers from China hold the lead in dollar volume, purchasing an estimated $22 billion with an average sale cost of $590,826, according to the NAR study. China was also the fastest-growing source of transactions, now accounting for 16 percent of all purchases, up 4 percent from last year.
