Selling Property to Overseas Investors
Selling Property to Overseas Investors
Foreign investors are starting to revisit the US real estate market as the opportunities for investment improve. My belief is the origins of the capital maybe changing, but the Asian interest in real estate still ranks at the top according to the Outbound Chinese Investment panel I heard speak at the China Business Outlook in January of 2010.
In addition, selling property to overseas investors caught my eye last September during my visit to the 13th annual China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) held in Xiamen, China. I believe we will see more capital starting to come from Asia. My perception is based on the booth activity I saw while helping host the World Trade Center Exhibit. There was a significant interest in US real estate. As a result, we will most likely see investors from Hong Kong as well as other Asian countries.
At the CIFIT investor symposium in Xiamen, I presented the investment opportunity for the Millenia below:
As more and more high net worth, entrepreneurial investors see the US as a country of economic opportunity; ( I mean who would of thought an NBA team would be purchased by a Russian; the China Investment Corp., would announce plans to invest up to $2 billion in US mortgages while the Bank of China establishes a new office to originate commercial mortgages in the US. Oh; and by the way Harley Davidson has clientele riding their bikes in China. Yes, times are a changing! ) we will continue to see advancements in cross-border real estate.

Retirement Homes in San Diego Area
Retirement Homes in San Diego Area
Retirement homes in San Diego area are available in many different types of communities. San Diego, California’s topography is as diverse as the housing styles found in the different communities. Is it too late to benefit from the economic downturn for property purchases in San Diego? No, in my professional opinion is not too late! According to the “Action Market Index” which Altos Research Corp. reports real-time analysis of local residential real estate markets across the country, many parts of San Diego County are “Cold, Buyers Market” as of the week ending March 26, 2010. The “Action Market Index” answers the question “How’s the Market?” by measuring the current rate of sale versus the amount of the inventory.
(Keep in mind, information obtained from Altos is based on properties currently listed for sale and available publicly. When evaluating a particular property, make sure you use comparable sales data in addition to the market trend information available in a report supplied by a local market Realtor. The data presented in the Altos report is accurate to the best of their knowledge, but cannot be guaranteed.)

If you are pricing San Diego from Europe, you are still going to enjoy a substantial currency benefit along with the inventory we now are presently showing.

Reasons to Invest in the U.S.A.
Investing in Property in The U.S.A.
Reasons to Invest
The attraction to the property market in the USA has been steadily strong amongst foreign investors for many years, due to the extensive range of benefits the market presents. Currency exchange rates have long been favorable to British and European investors, providing increased opportunities for multiple purchases, or the affordability of property that may not have been accessible in other established markets.
The attraction of an established market offers a highly developed purchasing process, enabling greater security to buyers. The location is also readily accessible from anywhere in the world, creating a property that can be accessed for personal lifestyle use, also with pure investment purposes.
The demand of the market has pushed prices up for many years, coupled with the ease of obtaining financing at low interest rates. The recent downfall of the market has created a unique window of opportunity for foreign buyers to enter the market with a distinct advantage over local buyers. The measures being enforced by the US government to rectify the country’s financial situation will benefit buyers with a return to a strong property market, yet with increased security against future severe downfalls.
The enviable lifestyle with excellent established infrastructure enables a continuous interest in the location. Rental opportunities in warm coastal regions such as Florida are constantly in demand, with year round potential from the local market and an average of 36 weeks annually from the short term holiday market.
