Second only to <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> joined <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">New Jersey<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Arizona<\/span> as the most popular states for international homebuyers. The sales dollar volume of <span class=\"xn-money\">$18.66 billion<\/span> from foreign home sales in <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> during this time frame is almost double from last year&#8217;s report. <\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the ratio of <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> homebuyers from <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span> (including <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span>) compared to the rest of the world has narrowed. From <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 2016<\/span> to <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 2017<\/span>, homebuyers from <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Asia<\/span>\/Oceania (including <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">India<\/span>) each constituted approximately 40 percent of international homebuying activity in <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> had the highest volume of homebuyers from <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> of any state from <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 2016<\/span> to <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 2017<\/span>, with nearly half (43 percent) of Mexican homebuyers who purchased a home in the U.S. choosing <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span>. The Lone Star State also experienced a significant share of Chinese buyers, with 11 percent of international homebuyers from <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> purchasing a home in <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>Chairman Fullerton concluded, &#8220;As our state&#8217;s population continues to grow and diversify, it&#8217;s increasingly important for our real estate industry practitioners to be knowledgeable about the unique needs and challenges facing international homebuyers.
