International Activity In The United States Market



International Activity In The United States Market

#cbarsteve #mshomestore

The economic environment during the 12-month period April 2017— March 2018 provided both opportunities and challenges for foreign buyers interested in purchasing U.S. residential property. Amid tight supply, solid employment growth, and historically low interest rates, home prices continued to increase strongly in the United States. Measured in local currencies of foreign buyers, the U.S. home price appreciation was tempered by the weaker U.S. dollar for some countries such as Canada and China. Sustained employment growth in the United States bolstered home buying by domestic residents who competed against foreign buyers for the limited supply of homes on the market.

Highlights

Foreign buyers purchased $121.0 billion of residential property from April 2017—March 2018, a decrease from $153 billion during the previous 12-month period (April 2016—March 2017).
The average price of properties purchased by the mix of foreign buyers was $454,400, a decrease from $536,900 during the previous period. 
Foreign buyers continued to purchase properties at the higher price point compared with all existing home buyers: among existing home buyers, the average price was $290,600 and the median price was $249,300. 
The major foreign buyers were China ($30.4B), Canada ($10.5B), the United Kingdom ($7.3B), India ($7.2B), and Mexico ($4.2B).

Military Kids Ideas | PCS Move | Steve Freeman Realtor

Post from MilitaryByOwner During a military move, it’s natural to get caught up in the logistics of all the tasks you need to accomplish. And if you’re a parent, the tasks during a move only multiply. While we all know that  PCS moves  affect our children, it can be easy for their needs and emotions to get lost in the shuffle as we manage the mountain of to-do lists we face. Over our years of military moves, my husband and I often reminded each other that we’d fallen into “task mode” (our gentle reminder to consider the feelings of various family members as we ran yet another errand, packed another box or handled travel details). It’s so important to realize how much help our children need through this major life change, whether they’re excited to move or dragging their heels. Here are a few tried-and-true strategies from experienced military parents that we hope will help make your PCS move easier. Before and During the Move Let kids help.  From separating belongings to ...

How Can Steve Freeman and Coldwell Banker Alfonso Realty Help Create Your Awesomeness

Why is Coldwell Banker Alfonso Realty and  Steve Freeman  the home for awesomeness and other real estate brands just merely innovative? Take a look. What is innovation? The Oxford Dictionary defines innovation as two simple words: something new. That's it. Something new. A new product. A new method. A new idea. That's innovation, but the word has lost its meaning. Innovation once conjured up thoughts of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, or the Wright Brothers. It was a term reserved for trailblazers like Steve Jobs, Marie Curie or Steven Spielberg. But today, in our industry, innovation has been demoted to a trite adjective used to bolster the mundane into a thinly veiled disguise of something grand. Real estate declares innovation at the launch of a website that has gotten a facelift, an app that does the same thing as its competition, or a brokerage that decides they no longer need a physical office. When everyone lays claim to innovation, it ceases to be the power...
