Иностранные покупатели активов США не проявляют никаких признаков cнижения темпов

 Foreign buyers of U.S. assets show no signs of slowing down

NEW YORK – March 23, 2016 – Foreign real estate investors went on a buying binge last year, acquiring a record $91.1 billion in properties in the U.S. – more than double the amount spent in 2014, according to New York City-based research firm Real Capital Analytics (RCA).
Despite some global headwinds, that momentum is expected to stay strong in 2016 as investors continue to expand their acquisition activity across property types and into more secondary markets. Just this week, for example, a Chinese insurer made a $6.5 billion deal for the acquisition of Strategic Resort & Hotel and put in a $13 billion bid for Starwood Hotels & Resort Worldwide.

CoreLogic - cash sales share in 2015 lowest in seven years

Cash sales accounted for 33.4% of total home sales in December 2015 and 33.9% of total home sales for the full year 2015. The full year 2015 cash sales share was the lowest since 2008. The December cash sales share was  down 3.3 percentage points year over year from 36.7% in December 2014. On a month-over-month basis, the cash sales share fell by 2.8 percentage points in December 2015 compared with November 2015. The month over month decrease in cash sales share was larger than normal for the month of December, indicating that the elevated share reported for November, and attributed to the new federal mortgage rules (TRID), was temporary.  The cash sales share peaked in January 2011 when cash transactions accounted for 46.6% of total home sales nationally. Prior to the housing crisis, the cash sales share of total home sales averaged approximately 25%. If the cash sales share continues to fall at the same rate it did in December 2015, the share should hit 25% by mid-2017.
