Tips On Buying International Real Estate

A strong U.S. dollar isn’t just making vacations overseasmore affordable; a brawny buck puts foreign real estate on sale, too.

Jason Kumpf, real estate expert at USForex, says their clients are “absolutely” using dollar strength to justify buying international real estate, particularly in continental Europe and the U.K. Even Canada is attracting more Americans now that the loonie is at about a 20% discount to its U.S. counterpart, says Kumpf.

Wei Min Tan, a residential condominium specialist at Rutenberg Realty’s Castle Avenue, says select buyers will always want to invest in a top-tier city like London, but a wave of buyers is also favoring countries with lower costs of living, including Malaysia, Thailand, and Costa Rica.

“They may see it as a place to retire in the future. Here [retirement] can cost so much, there it’s a fraction,” Tan says.
