Weak U.S. Dollar = Strong Real Estate Opportunities in the U.S.

The weak U.S. Dollar is good news for foreign investors! Now foreign investors can buy more real estate for their same financial investment because of their increased purchasing power. In addition, some U.S. real estate markets are weak, too, which means even better news and more profitable opportunities for buyers! Even in strong residential markets like New York City, prices can be considerably lower than in competing cities, such as London, Tokyo, and Paris.

 

“U.S. real estate has always been a popular option for buyers around the globe, said Tu Packard, senior economist for Moody's Economy.com. The appeal lies in the general stability of the country compared with others throughout the world. Add to that the fact that the dollar is so weak and interest rates are low and house prices are at their lowest in years... it's a compelling combination for a home buyer," she said. “The U.S. dollar's trade rate is the weakest it has been since the 1970s,” she continued, as reported in a MarketWatch article written by Amy Hoak, Feb. 25, 2008.

 

Strong investment opportunities exist in all sectors of the United States real estate market. As always, real estate is a local business, so I am able to assist foreign investors how to best understand the various markets and the investment opportunities.

 

As a FIABCI member, I have access to and contacts in 65 countries around the world in addition to countless cities and property types  throughout the United States.  Not only have FIABCI members been providing the international community with answers to questions on real property needs for nearly 60 years, we understand real estate and cultures around the world.  My clients make informed decisions about investments both in my local market and internationally based on my experience and the contacts I have developed through FIABCI’s diverse network of real estate professionals.
