Foreign Buyers: a Real Estate Trend to Watch in 2016

February 04 2016

global man 1A new survey by the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate (AFIRE) to detect upcoming real estate trends has found foreign investors will dominate the market in 2016. How big of a factor might foreign investors play in your business?

Not backing down

Sixty-four percent of roughly 200 respondents plan to make modest or major increases in U.S. real estate investments, and 34% expect to maintain holdings or reinvest sales proceeds into other U.S. assets. None plans a major decrease.

Why the bump in U.S. real estate purchases?

This strong response is attributable to a number of factors contributing to the rise in U.S. purchases in real estate trends:

  • Economics
    Europe’s immigration crisis, China’s economic slowdown, and Brazil’s recession make the U.S. a safe bet.
  • Tax legislation
    New legislation easing taxes for foreign pension funds invested in U.S. real estate will further boost sales, simplifying the investment process and opening doors to real estate deals that won’t require property purchases with U.S. domestic majority partners, as they have in times past.
