From Chinese investors flocking to California to Canadian snowbirds heading to Arizona, international home buyers are offering a growing niche for more real estate professionals.
But which places are international investors targeting in their home search? Point2Homes.com evaluated where buyers from overseas are looking online to gauge possible current and future home-purchasing patterns.

Las Vegas had the highest overall international traffic online among U.S. cities, with Canadians serving as the leading source of traffic there at 70.47 percent, followed by 5.28 percent of the traffic coming from UK residents and 2.19 percent from France.

Denver, Colorado is a wonderful place to live. I was born and raised here...stayed because Denver and the surrounding mountains have so much to offer. Email me at LLmaen@aol.com if I can answer questions or locate properties for you.

Very surprised that Portland, OR and the Oregon Coast were not mentioned. Temperate weather and ocean front estates for under $1M. I came here from San Diego, CA 8 years ago to enjoy clean air, endless outdoor activities, low priced real estate, high intellectual base and no crowds. If you are interested in same, simply go to All information about the Oregon Coast . steve@oregonbeachlife.com

The Phoenix, Arizona metro area, which inlcudes Scottsdale, Mesa and much more, is a great place to live and invest. Unemployment on a downward swing and pricing/rates that allow both the first-time homebuyer and investor great options. If you need any assistance or have questions feel free to contact me in Scottsdale at Steve@belleviewcommunities.com

Yes, Orlando is a good place to start. If you want to enjoy clean and quiet beaches, true Florida nature, together with real history and culture drive two hours north to the St. Augustine/Ponte Vedra Beach area. http://www.northeastfloridabeachhomes.com/ We will be your welcoming party!
