Where are Foreign Investors buying in the United States
Today we share with you an article that senior vice president and managing
officer of Intero, Alain Pinel wrote entitled, Foreign Investors
Zero In On The US ,speaking to the lure for investment that the United
States provides for foreign investors. Not surprisingly, San Francisco was on
the list–if you’re thinking about investing in the Silicon Valley, Bay Area or
San Francisco don’t hesitate to reach out to the Dawn Thomas Team; experts in
both foreign buyers and investment.
“Four of the top five global cities in terms of investment dollars are in the US….That’s what came out of a survey conducted by the members of AFIRE, the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate. The survey, just released by this pre-eminent international organization, listed New York as the most wanted city in the world by top investors. London is in second position, followed by three other US towns: San Francisco, Washington DC and Houston.
It is the first time that the US placed four cities in the top five in the world. Another proof, if anyone still had any doubt, that in spite of the troubles which have been rocking the country the last five years, we are in better shape -from an investment point of view- than any other country. The survey from AFIRE can be taken seriously as it represents the expert judgment of nearly 200 investing organizations from 21 different countries, with about $2 trillion worth of real estate assets under management.
The four US cities which made the list were already designated as the top cities in the US the year before, although the ranking was a bit different. San Francisco, previously number 3, jumped to the second spot, pushing Washington DC to the third spot. Boston, which was #4 and now stands in the 5th position, has been replaced by Houston, formerly #7.
Says James Fetgatter, the AFIRE chief executive: “The strong endorsement of both San Francisco and Houston by our members in this year’s survey directly reflects the propensity for real estate investment to follow jobs, in this case technology and energy, which are thought to be among the top drivers of the next economic wave.”
Where is the investment money going? Multi-family properties are in the lead. Industrial investments follow, ahead of Retail, Office and Hotel.
Other significant conclusions cited in the AFIRE survey:
Canada
Germany
Australia
United Kingdom
In terms of Best Opportunity for Capital Appreciation, the winners are:

Finally, the survey lists the top Emerging Markets:

Wishing you wise profitable investments in 2013….”
