Golden Opportunity to Invest in the U.S. Housing Market

Great news for non-resident investors eyeing U.S. real estate! Recent data from the Mortgage Bankers Association shows that U.S. mortgage rates have dropped significantly, reaching their lowest levels since early March. The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage is now 6.87%, while the 15-year mortgage rate has declined to 6.49%.

This drop presents a golden opportunity for foreign nationals and U.S. expats to move into the U.S. housing market. Lower mortgage rates mean reduced borrowing costs and increased potential for excellent investment returns.

Reduced Competition Benefits Overseas Investors

At the same time, the National Association of Realtors has reported a 36% drop in international buyers compared to last year. Contributing factors include high prices, limited supply, and a strong U.S. dollar, making U.S. properties even more expensive for some. This reduced competition gives foreign investors and U.S. expats an advantage in a less competitive market, allowing them to get better deals and potentially more attractive purchase prices.
