The Foreign Nationals market is a large one if its appetite for all manner of U.S. real estate is any indication of size. Consider that foreigners spent $153 billion in 2017 on U.S. residential real estate, or approximately 285,000 properties; this represents 10% of all of the U.S.’s existing home sales in 2017. The majority of home purchases by foreigners were made in Florida, California, Texas, New Jersey and Arizona, by buyers from China, Canada, U.K., Mexico and India.
