The U.S. dollar has reached its strongest levels in years, especially against the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso. According to the Financial Times, this surge is driven by new and potentially new U.S. tariffs and global economic shifts.
For foreign investors and U.S. expats, this creates a unique opportunity. Cash-out refinancing on U.S. property now provides even more value, as a strong dollar means greater purchasing power when converting home equity into foreign currency—whether for new investments, debt repayment, or portfolio growth.
Why the U.S. Dollar’s Strength Matters to Property Owners
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the dollar against other currencies, has risen sharply. As Reuters reported, the Canadian dollar is at its weakest since 2003, and the Mexican peso has hit a three-year low against the U.S. dollar.
For U.S. property owners abroad, this means equity pulled from real estate today has greater value when converted into foreign currencies. Refinancing now can help lock in these favorable exchange rates before market conditions change.
Key Benefits of Cashing-Out Now
- Maximize the Value of Your U.S. Dollars – A strong USD means your cash goes further when converted into foreign currencies.
- Pay Off Debt – Use the funds to clear high-interest loans in your local currency.
- Invest in New Opportunities – Buy more property or enter other markets.
- Increase Cash Flow – Keep liquidity on hand for future expenses or investments.
