International buyers account for more than $6 billion in annual investments in the Texas housing sector, a new report from the Texas Association of Realtors says.
The Austin-based real estate trade association analyzed home-buying transactions between March 2012 and March 2013.
During that period, international homebuyers contributed more than $6.13 billion to Texas’ economy, the researchers found.
Texas and Arizona were tied as the U.S. states with the third-highest investment by international homebuyers. Florida and California were the top markets for foreign buyers.
