MADISON, N.J., Nov. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, a subsidiary of Anywhere Real Estate Inc.

Key features in The International Buyer's Guide include:

The Current Real Estate Landscape

After years of record home sales and price appreciation, the U.S. housing market has experienced unit contraction and a deceleration of appreciation. Higher interest rates coupled with historically low housing inventory and resilient home prices has impacted domestic buyer activity. The median existing-home sales price grew 2.8% from one year ago to $394,300, marking the third consecutive month of year-over-year price increases.¹

International buyer activity has also experienced a contraction. Between April 2022 and March 2023, the number of existing homes purchased by international buyers fell to its lowest level since tracking for foreign buyer purchases began in 2009 – a 14% decline from the prior period.² Additionally, the dollar volume of international buyer purchases decreased modestly to $53.3 billion.

• Home Purchases: International buyers accounted for 84,600 of existing home purchases.
• Cash Offers: 42% of international buyers paid all-cash for a U.S. property, compared to 26% among all existing home buyers.
• Real Estate Investment: 50% of international buyers purchased property for use as a vacation home, rental or both in the United States.

Top Destinations

Florida, California, Texas, Arizona and North Carolina are this year's top five U.S. states attracting the greatest number of international home buyers. Major cities such as New York and Los Angeles have historically drawn international investment, however affordable secondary cities, suburbs and inland housing markets now present enticing, "hidden gem" opportunities.
