2025 International Buyers in U.S. Real Estate: What the New NAR Report Means for South Florida | The Listing Team

2025 International Buyers in U.S. Real Estate: What the New NAR Report Means for South Florida
By Scott Lehr, The Listing Team at RESF

🌎 Key Highlights from the Report
The 2025 NAR International Transactions report reveals that foreign buyers purchased $56 billion worth of U.S. residential property in the past year, totaling 78,100 transactions. Florida captured 21% of all international sales, securing its position as the top state for foreign investment.

📍 Top Countries of Origin
Leading sources of international buyers include:

🇨🇳 China – $13.6B
🇨🇦 Canada – $6.6B
🇲🇽 Mexico – $4.7B
🇮🇳 India – $3.5B
🇬🇧 United Kingdom – $3.2B

These markets are drawn to South Florida for its economic stability, climate, and cultural diversity.

🏠 Buying Trends & Preferences
The median purchase price among international buyers was $494,400. Nearly half (47%) of transactions were all-cash, reflecting the strong purchasing power of overseas investors. Another 47% of purchases were for vacation homes or rental investments, further fueling the local short- and long-term rental market.

🌴 Florida’s Competitive Edge
Beyond the warm climate and beaches, Florida offers no state income tax, a favorable business environment, and proximity to Latin America. Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Broward County remain prime targets for high-net-worth individuals seeking both lifestyle and financial advantages.

📈 Impact on South Florida’s Market
For sellers, the influx of foreign capital means higher demand and competitive offers—especially for waterfront and luxury properties. Buyers should be prepared for faster-moving markets, while investors can benefit from strong rental yields and property appreciation.
