In 2010, approximately 300,000 Realtors worked with an international buyer or seller, up from 250,000 in 2009. Overall the United States is experiencing increasing interest from buyers in the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, Canada and other countries. According to the 2011 National Association of Realtors President Ron Phipps, “Foreign buyers understand the value of owning a home in this country and can rely on Realtors to help guide them through the process.” Courtesy of Realtor.org
On a more local note, our unique location close to the Canadian border and the value of the Canadian dollar is creating a lot of interest in our listings from prospective Canadian buyers.
