USA Property Market Overview

The USA is a continent rather than a country and its vast expanse includes every climate type from the frozen areas of Alaska through the desert climate of Las Vegas to the tropical paradise of Florida. The most popular property areas for visitors to the USA are Florida and Las Vegas - these trends are governed by the accessibility of these regions by air from Europe and the popularity of these locations as warm winter holiday destinations for many Americans. Florida is not only a property hotspot for Britons, but for many Germans and North and South Americans too. The popularity of attractions such as Disney World, Universal Studios, more than 1,000 golf courses and the Vegas casinos attract visitors from all over the world and boost a healthy demand for rental properties in these areas.

The top property hotspot of the USA has to be Florida, which attracts more than 40 million tourists per year and is still among the world’s top tourist destinations. Although the property market has slowed, the advantage is that prices are comparatively low and represent a good investment both for the property investor and those seeking a second home. Other regions of the USA offer buyers properties at very tempting prices and cater for all budgets and tastes.

Property Investment in USA

Although the property market in the USA has slowed, there are still many buyers in the framework and property is still one of the most lucrative forms of investment. An advantage of the slower market is that prices are being held steady and give new investors the opportunity to buy into the market. The exceptional rate of exchange between the dollar and sterling, as well as the euro, makes the USA a really exciting investment opportunity, offering buyers good value for their outlay. Properties should be chosen in optimum rental locations in and around main tourist attractions to maximize rental returns. Florida and Las Vegas are regions without off-seasons, while the buy-to-let market in these locations is extremely popular with Britons.

When considering an investment area, it is essential to have clear guidance, as with property ventures anywhere in the world, there could be pitfalls, which need to be avoided. A properly researched property can bring great benefits to the homebuyer where returns on investment can be as high as 12% per annum.

Traditionally the majority of homebuyers in the USA are those who buy-to-let. However this market is also supported by purchasers who, despite the obstacles, are determined to emigrate or retire in the States. This determination is stimulated by the climate and lifestyle especially in areas such as Florida for retirees and the quality of education for families wishing to emigrate to a better life. The excellent build quality and a straight forward buying process, are other factors that influence the decision to buy property in the USA. The reasons for the sustained popularity of American property are understandable when you consider the stability of the economic and political climate. This, combined with good long-term capital growth in key locations, gives property investors great reassurance in a worthwhile investment.

USA Property Hotspots

USA property is on offer at all prices to suit all budgets, from the well heeled to more modest pockets, but there is no doubt that the best hotspot is the one that suits the buyers needs. Currently Florida and Las Vegas are high demand locations, especially for the buy-to-let market owing to the shorter flight times to Europe. There is a rising market in the counties surrounding New York, although property within the Big Apple itself remains beyond the reach of most buyers.

Coastal properties and locations where there is access to lakes or rivers remain hot favorites with buyers. Purchasers who are thinking of immigration also go where they will find the best job opportunities, climate and education to suit their needs; Florida and California remain top choices for these buyers.
