While national activity slowed, Texas transactions actually grew by about 4%, confirming the state\u2019s ongoing appeal to global buyers. The median price paid by international purchasers was $375,000\u2014higher than the statewide median of $334,000\u2014and their activity accounted for nearly 2% of all existing-home sales in Texas, outpacing the national average. Our state\u2019s diversity is on full display: buyers from Mexico led at 35%, with India at 14% and China at 9%, illustrating the broad spectrum of demand. Affordability was a key driver, with nearly 60% of these sales in the suburbs, 80% as detached homes, and 40% paid in cash. Texas attracted about 12% of all international home purchases in the U.S., despite added restrictions for some. Having spent over a decade guiding clients in DFW through both residential and commercial landscapes, I\u2019ve seen how international interest adds unique energy\u2014and opportunities\u2014to our market. Whether you\u2019re relocating, investing, or seeking long-term value, understanding these trends is essential for making informed, confident decisions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International buyers have made a remarkable impact on the Texas real estate market, investing $4.8 billion and acquiring roughly 7,800 properties over the past year.
