With interest rates below 4% right now – 91 % of all home purchases in the U.S. are at least partially financed – according to the NAR’s 2010 statistics.
That’s interesting because international buyers tend to pay cash and they certainly rely far less on conventional financing than domestic buyers do …. with fewer than 15% of foreign investors getting a mortgage.
Interesting too is that the number of acquisitions by international buyers (whether vacation property, or for investment purposes, or as a primary residence) continues to increase, especially in resort destinations like Miami… which bodes well the real estate market in much of South Florida for the remainder of 2011 and throughout 2012.
