Foreign Investors Pledge Allegiance to U.S. Real Estate
Is Strong Sentiment for Capital Appreciation Finally a “Buy” Signal?
Foreign investors in real estate say they remain committed to the U.S. as
their preferred real
estate investment opportunity.
The sentiment is underscored by a dramatic increase in the number of
respondents identifying the U.S. as the country providing the best
opportunity for real estate capital appreciation, according to the results
of the 18th annual survey conducted among the members of the Association of
Foreign Investors in Real Estate (AFIRE) and released today.
According to survey results:
51 percent of respondents identify the U.S. as providing the best
opportunity for capital appreciation;
Two thirds of respondents plan to increase their investment in the U.S. in
2010 compared to 2009;
Optimism about the state of the U.S. real estate market remains strong. 33
percent of survey respondents say they are more optimistic about the U.S.
real estate market than they were in June 2009.
The United States remains the country selected as the “most stable and
secure real estate investment environment.”
