U.S. Foreign Property Investment - statistics & facts
Foreign property investment refers to the purchase of real estate by foreign nationals. It is a major source of investment in the United States and property sales to foreign buyers totaled 54.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2021. In recent years, the largest share of foreign residential buyers originated from Canada and Mexico, followed by China. Foreign buyers of U.S. real estate prefer properties in suburban areas to properties in small towns and central areas of major cities. This is probably why an overwhelming share of sales is detached single-family homes.
