Impact of International Buyers on US Existing Home Sales
Purchases of U.S. homes by international buyers was $121B in the fiscal year ending March 2018, down from $153B the previous year, a 21% decline, according to the NAR. The drop was driven by accelerating home prices, a strengthening dollar, and geopolitical concerns. The estimated number of units bought by international buyers is 266,800, or 5 percent of existing home sales (units). The share of dollar volume of home sales that this represents is around 8 percent.
