The best places to buy real estate in the USA



The real estate market suffered a national crisis of 2008-2009 due to a large number of foreclosures and the deterioration of property values. As the industry begins to emerge from this dark financial period, many real estate markets stand out from the rest by showing great potential for financial gain.

Tacoma, Washington

Tacoma is considered one of the best places to buy real estate in the country due to the limited amount of available homes on the market, and the gain of this area has remained in sync with housing prices. This means that a household in the Tacoma area is likely to increase steadily in value and sell quickly due to limited market.

Cleveland, Ohio

the real estate market in Tacoma is based on stable earnings and limited availability of properties, in 2010 the housing market Cleveland, Ohio is attractive due to low prices and the many foreclosures. According to the website "Housing Predictor's" Cleveland's economy in real estate is based on the premise that these rates are so low that there is no other place to go but up.

Uncertainty in the market does not affect the builders' confidence in the US


Confidence in builders of new homes for single families in the USA have not changed in November as market uncertainty continues to defy builders and buyers alike.

The index of the National Association of Home Builders that measures builder confidence was unchanged in November 54 level last month.

Buyers have shown hesitation in the housing market as a result of the recent government shutdown. Increases in mortgage rates are also holding potential buyers, analysts say.

However, while builders continue to struggle with increases in construction costs and low valuations, remain largely optimistic reports NAHB.

"The political and economic uncertainty is affecting consumer confidence," NAHB chief economist David Crowe said in the report. "The fact that builders confidence remains above 50 is an encouraging sign, considering the outstanding debt and federal budget problems cause builders and consumers stay on the sidelines."

The component index measuring current sales remained at 58 in November. On the other hand, the components that measure future sales and traffic of prospective buyers fell from the previous month.

Regionally, confidence remained the same in the south and west, while down in the Midwest and raised in the Northeast.

Tips to invest in the USA


First came the subprime crisis after the collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers and now own political conflicts of electoral advertising recession times. The fact is that real estate in the United States is not getting off and is offered as a good investment opportunity, long term, to foreign capital. 

Consider the scenario 

According to the National Association of Realtors USA, NAR, for its acronym, foreign buyers were an important engine for real estate in the last year, adding purchases 82,000 million, 25% more than the previous year. 

According to the agency, between March 2010 and March of 2011de March 2011, the Mexican capital represented 7% of foreign investment property, just behind Chinese Canadians (9%) buyers (23%) and with a investment valued at 5,740 million dollars. 

The reason? the market is favorable: low prices, a large inventory and the certainty that eventually the earth will begin to regain its value. Never more than today in America is some awareness that the Properties are long-term investments. 

The average price paid by foreign investors, $ 315.000, was higher than that paid American residents only reached $ 218.000. This perhaps because, in addition to greater liquidity, many foreign buyers are opting for resort type properties in the residential segment and higher in locations with better promises of goodwill. 

While NAR has distinct location preferences of each nationality of buyers, closely related to accessibility (Mexicans to Texas and Arizona, Chinese to Western and European to the east coast), in the last 10 years, Florida has been the entity most popular for overseas buyer in general, thanks to its climate, tourist profile and demographic mix that gives wealth. 

Managing a property from the distance is easy

One of the biggest fears of foreign buyers is undoubtedly the inability to care for, maintain and manage your property at a distance; however, since the mortgage crisis of 2008, in the United States plus the ability to obtain substantial discounts on the purchase of real property, a new business model that facilitates foreign investment in this direction emerged. 

The diagram suggests that, beyond the purchase of a property with attractive price, which will generate goodwill, it is possible to put it on rent. This scheme allows you to get a guaranteed average around 5% per annum on the initial investment ranging from $ 50.000 to $ 350,000 to the profile of the investor returns.
