      How to Buy a Home in USA; Complete Guide to American Dream - Foreign Advisory

      Can foreigners buy a house in the USA?

      Yes, foreigners can buy houses in the USA. The process is pretty simple, and foreigners may purchase any type of real estate, including residential property, commercial property, or land.

      Go through this guide to learn about the requirements, process, and tax implications of buying a home in the US as a foreigner.

      Landscape of foreign real estate transactions in the US

      Per the National Association of Realtors (NAR), foreign nationals purchased $74 billion worth of US existing home sales during April 2019 March 2020 ($153B at its peak in 2017). Additionally, 60% of foreign buyers were recent immigrants (newcomers) or visa holders in the United States. The remaining ~40% are non-resident buyers.

      Foreigners bought 107,000 existing home units worth $54.4 Billion from April 2020 – March 2021, down 30% in terms of the number of units (154,000 units during the same period last year) and down 27% in terms of dollar volume ($74 Billion during the same period last year).

      This decrease can be attributed to the shrinking of foreign travel due to Covid-19.

      The following infographic provides insight into the landscape of foreign real estate transactions in the US:
