CALIFORNIA AMONG TOP THREE MARKETS FOR FOREIGN COMMERCIAL BUYERS

Source: Dallas Morning News 

Florida and Texas were the top markets on foreign real estate investors shopping lists in 2016.
The National Association of REALTORS® said 20 percent of its commercial real estate members closed a sale last year involving foreign buyers.

Florida, Texas and California were the most popular markets for offshore buyers acquiring small properties for either investment or use, the REALTORS® found in their annual commercial real estate survey.

"Nearly half of REALTORS® reported that they experienced a greater number of international clients looking to buy commercial space over the past five years," NAR's top economist Lawrence Yun said in the report. "Economic expansion has slowly chugged along since the downturn, but in comparison to the rest of the world, the U.S. remains one of the most attractive and safest bets for investors.

NAR found that most of the foreign buyers making a play in the U.S. were from China. Chinese investors accounted for 17 percent of the commercial property sales handled by Realtors.
