Foreign buyers in the U.S. have dropped by half in 2019 compared to the previous two years. Only in 2019 compared to 2018 there was a decrease of -36% in residential real estate, foreigners only spent $78 billion in 2019 compared to $121 billion in 2018.
Fewer foreigners buying residential homes in the US has pushed a decrease in listing prices. With lots of inventory and no buyers to fill them up, the market has switched from a seller to a buyer’s market. It is shocking the magnitudes of the drop as we have reached the lowest level of foreign residential investment since 2013.

Statements like ‘the market is going down’ or ‘we’re seeing a market slowdown’ make us wonder about a future crisis but is realty effectively like this?
At the moment the market in Miami is just stable, it’s not collapsing. The volume of sales has decreased but not drastically, I would say that it has just cooled off and it is also considered a sign of solidity.
In the last 15 years the market has gone thru cycles of depression and growth. In Miami we have experienced a great boom over the past 5 years so it’s normal and healthy to go thru a slowdown. The real estate market is more sustainable that way. Read the rest of this entry »

Sam Tawik, a well-known New York developer, just invested $12 million in the area of Midtown Miami. Indeed he bought 27 apartments in the fabulous condominium 4 Midtown (see picture). If he is investing such an amount there, he must be pretty sure that Midtown Miami will become soon the new Soho.
In the early 60’s artists bought lofts there for at most $50,000 and these properties are now worth $3 million. Tawik values the short term appreciation in Midtown and thinks that the prices of the area will follow the Soho trend. Tawik’s strategy is simple: he is buying units which have highest end user demand and which appreciate in value the quickest. No wonder why he can hope a 35% of return on his investment within 3 years! Read the rest of this entry »
