The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ 2012 Profile of International Home Buying Activity, released in June, shows that 52 percent of REALTORS® had at least one international transaction in the past year.

Total residential international sales in the United States for the past year ending March 2012 equaled $82.4 billion in 2012, up dramatically from $66.4 billion in 2011.

Although U.S. home sales to foreign buyers declined slightly in the year through March 2012, a spike in sales of more expensive property pushed the total sales volume of international sales up 24 percent.
