This list was created in 2005 and can show you how each foreign country can play an important role in the real estate market.
So how has this impacted the economy? Because they are purchasing real estate, it keeps the market at a steady low. Without countries buying into the real estate market lending rates would rocket up about 4% higher, making it even more difficult for anyone to buy or sell.
Another advantage to countries buying into the U.S. real estate market is the fact that it adds more real estate jobs to the U.S. real estate market. When land is purchased residential or commercial buildings may be built, which gives property jobs to hundreds of people. If property is bought with a building or home already on it there may be restoration work needed to fill the need of the buyer. This can also provide hundreds of real estate jobs.
One reason foreign real estate market has always retained a profit, is because immigrants that live in the United States, or those who will be arriving every year from now on, are purchasing real estate.
Foreign real estate marketing investors are currently contributing to the U.S. economy in a positive way. While they purchase property that they may or may not use them. U.S. gets the profit and they get the land.
Real estate careers are also on the rise because of the demanding real estate market. Courses are taken and classes are forming all around the U.S. to promote the market. People are enjoying their real estate careers because of all the benefits; working outdoors, helping to make people's dreams come true, making money with each sell, and controlling their income. The construction business has also grown as demands for new construction or remodeling has increased. Every investor that invests in U.S. property has a certain vision of what they see on that land. It may be a large store or a large apartment complex.
It's important to realize how much the U.S. depends on foreign real estate investors to help keep up with the economy. Without it there would be a loss of property jobs, poor economy as well as financial ruins.
It is a trend to see the foreign countries placing more money down on an initial investment which in turn has them borrowing less money and this allows them to see more of a profit on their investment. This is an advantage to lenders in the U.S. because they feel that foreign investors are more of a good risk. This large down payment would also boost the economy quickly.
Foreign investments are very important and necessary to keep up the economy.
