I got a SFH within walking distance of King Street Metro for 10% below tax assessment and got a 50% discount thanks to my Euros (compared to Euro/$ exchange rate of 2002). Can't beat that. Best time ever to buy real estate in DC for Europeans...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-33826495283994175852008-07-07T07:55:00.000-04:002008-07-07T07:55:00.000-04:00Ok, maybe it is true but just if you are not Ameri...Ok, maybe it is true but just if you are not American.

Can a few prestige areas be saved by foreign buyers? Maybe. But the Europeans are being bit by their huge bubble in Spain and England. That's going to make them gun shy. Not to mention its famous how much the Germans have lost in Florida. <BR/><BR/>Foreign buyers leave a market faster than they enter it. So this might just be delaying the pain. <BR/><BR/>Got Popcorn?<BR/>Neilwannabuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297458705683991405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-53918113504707551762008-07-06T10:54:00.000-04:002008-07-06T10:54:00.000-04:00i think this does hold true for high-end propertie...i think this does hold true for high-end properties (very high end). take trump's florida property, for example--a russian guy bought it. i've also seen stats from a realtor website for the IP addresses of people looking at the properties and foreign IPs were far more prevalent than on lower-end properties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
