In the past Mexicans and Latin Americans were the people that wanted to get a job but now according to this article Texas and Florida has a lot of well to do Mexicans and South Americans that want to live or invest in real estate. Also, the asians of course in California and other places are doing the same. Luxury home agent Rex McKown invested $650 this year in a set of Rosetta Stone discs to learn Chinese.<br /> <br />Irvine broker Alisha Chen opened an office in Taiwan three years ago to capitalize on the growing interest there in Southern California properties.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Foreign buyers spent an estimated $82.4 billion on U.S. homes in the 12 months ending in March, according to a National Association of Realtors' survey of U.S. agents. That's up 24 percent from $66.4 billion the year before.<br /><br />RICK NGOC HO, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER<br /><br />MORE PHOTOS »<br /><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br /> <br />Kim Chang of Bellflower and other agents say they regularly meet foreign clients jetting into Southern California for three- to seven-day homebuying sprees.<br /> <br />Both U.S. Realtors and local agents report a marked increase this year in foreign homebuyers shopping for bargains as the housing market bottomed out.<br /> <br />In Orange County and Southern California as a whole, Chinese and other Asian buyers – many paying all cash -- have snatched up properties as investments, as vacation or retirement homes or as a residence for children studying at local schools or universities, local agents say.<br /> <br />Canadians have been buying winter homes in Arizona and Florida, according to a report by the National Association of Realtors. Wealthy Mexicans and South Americans have been investing in South Florida and Texas.<br /> <br />Foreign buyers spent an estimated $82.4 billion on U.S. homes in the 12 months ending in March, NAR's most recent survey of U.S. agents shows. That's up 24 percent from $66.4 billion the year before.<br /> <br />According to the survey, foreign buyers accounted for nearly 5 percent of all U.S. home sales and almost 8 percent of the amount spent.<br /> <br />The National Association of Realtors estimated that foreign buyers accounted for 11 percent of California home sales.<br /> <br />The California Association of Realtors, however, pegged foreign sales at 5.8 percent of the state's transactions. Of those, 39 percent of the buyers come from China, followed by buyers from Canada (13 percent), and from India and Mexico (8.7 percent each), CAR reported.<br /> <br />The state group doesn't break down statistics for Orange County. But local agents estimated that the proportion of Orange County and Southern California sales to overseas buyers is higher than the statewide average.<br /> <br />About 20 percent of the buyers at Irvine's Lambert Ranch development -- which caters to Asian buyers with wok kitchens and floor plans for extended families – are from abroad, said Joan Marcus-Colvin, senior vice president at the New Home Company.<br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-82203614547729630172012-12-15T20:52:49.556-08:002012-12-15T20:52:49.556-08:00I'd be interested to see that teased out by de...I'd be interested to see that teased out by demographic. Assuming the vast majority of your return readership is white, it would be interesting to see what percentage of the white population you carry per capita. For instance, CA is at the high end of minority population, so your per capita white reader claim there should be adjusted upward. A state like Nebraska is below the national minority population and so the per capita white would be adjusted down. A large minority population helps explain some of your Florida problemWoilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-31080416971580648232012-12-15T11:24:55.059-08:002012-12-15T11:24:55.059-08:00Why would Steve want to moved to the neo-con capit...Why would Steve want to moved to the neo-con capital of Texas? Texas already has there future Lt governor pushing for a guestworker program Jerry Patterson and he called white people illegal immirgants because they entered Texas land in 1830 against the Mexican government for real. Texas is just like California they only have about two guys really against anti-immirgation Poe and Smith in Texas and Ronabracher and Royce in California. Also, a lot of ex- republicans that left Calif for Texas can afford to get away from the hispanics in Texas, the Woodlands is only 5 percent hispanic but the state is 38 percent and the politicans like Mr Jerry Patterson don't want to change things. Granted, he isn't as worst as Jerry Brown in Cal but he is not great.
