Profile of Florida International Buyers
The Florida Association of Realtors has released the 2021 Profile of International Real Estate Activity. The one-year report shows activity from August 2020 through July 2021. During this period tourist arrivals to the United States totaled 13.8 million, a decline of 83% compared to the level during the same period prior to the pandemic in 2019.
Here are some highlights from the 2021 report:
$12.3 Billion Dollar volume of Florida’s existing homes purchased by foreign buyers during August 2020–July 2021, which is 5% of the dollar volume of Florida’s existing home sales (22% decrease from the prior 12-month level of $15.6 billion)
22,500 Number of existing homes purchased in Florida by foreign buyers, which is 4% of existing-home sales (34% decrease from the prior 12-month period level of 33,900)
71% Share of foreign buyers whose primary residence is abroad
$347,300 Foreign buyer median purchase price
66% Foreign buyers who paid all-cash (39% among all U.S. foreign buyers)
72% Foreign buyers who intended to use the property for vacation or long-term rentals
Florida’s top 5 foreign buyers
- Canada ($1.8 B)
- Argentina ($0.9 B)
- Colombia ($0.8 B)
- Brazil ($0.7 B)
- Venezuela ($0.4 B)
Top foreign buyer destinations
- Miami-Ft. Lauderdale-West Palm Beach (52% of foreign buyers)
- Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford (10%)
- Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater (8%)
- Cape Coral-Ft. Myers (5%)
- North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton (4%)
- Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island (4%)
Tourist arrivals to the United States are rising but are still slow due to the travel bans and advisories in many countries regarding inbound and outbound entry and quarantine regulations. This increase should have a positive impact of foreign buyer activity.
