                  International Homebuyer
                            Profile
Oscar Gonzales Copyright 2013



          2012 International Home Buying Activity
   • Total sales volume to
     international clients is
     estimated at $82.5 Billion for
     the 12 months ending March
     2012, up from an estimated
     $66.4 Billion for the 12
     months ending March 2012.

   • The estimated volume of
     international sales increased
     between 2011 and 2012 by
     24%.
Oscar Gonzales Copyright 2013



                      International Home Buyer Profile
• A random sample of Realtors® on their
  experiences over the 12 months ending March
  2012 identified two types of international
  clients:


       – Type A: Foreign clients with permanent
         residences outside the U.S. These types of
         clients typically are purchasing property for
         investment, vacation, or visits of less than
         six months to the U.S.

       – Type B: Clients who are recent immigrants
         (less than two years) or temporary visa
         holders residing for more than six months
         for professional, educational, or other
         reasons.
Oscar Gonzales Copyright 2013



                                Geographic Segmentation
     • Proximity to the home country, the convenience of air transportation, and
       climate and location appear to be important considerations to purchasers. For
       example:
        – East Coast attracts Europeans.
        – West Coast is attractive to Asian purchasers.
        – Mexican purchasers are active in the Southwestern markets.
        – Florida appears to be attractive to South Americans as well as Europeans
           and Canadians.
Oscar Gonzales Copyright 2013



                                Geographic Segmentation
     • International buyers came from a total of 71 countries; the top five (Canada,
       Mexico, China, U.K., and India) accounted for 53% of transactions. Most
       states had at least one international transaction, but four states—Arizona,
       California, Florida, and Texas—accounted for 51% of transactions.

                                   Motivation for Buying
                          • Homes in U.S. are less expensive than comparable foreign
                            properties and viewed as a secure investment and provide rental
                            and long term appreciation possibilities.

                          • International students. The student(s) use the property as a
                            residence while studying in the country. In addition, the properties
                            can also acquire rental and investment aspects, with the student(s)
                            functioning as landlords.

                          • Foreign executives temporarily working in this country.

                          • In the case of recent immigrants to the U.S., home ownership is
                            viewed by many as an important accomplishment in their efforts
                            to become established in this country.

The student(s) use the property as a residence while studying in the country. In addition, the properties can also acquire rental and investment aspects, with the student(s) functioning as landlords. • Foreign executives temporarily working in this country. • In the case of recent immigrants to the U.S., home ownership is viewed by many as an important accomplishment in their efforts to become established in this country.
