[Lead-in] 1. The weak housing market and tightening credit are a nightmare for American homeowners lately. But with the sagging dollar, overseas investors are flocking to the US to scoop up prime real estate. Susan Candiotti follows two international bargain hunters as they search for a house in south Florida.
[Story] 2. How about a backyard like this? Close to sand and surf, year-round warm weather and exciting night life. You have no trouble picturing yourself waking up to this view in the morning?
"Yes, I love this area." "I can picture, also, a boat."
Right here on their own dock.
"I like it. Here you can cook a lot."
Silvia Ferry and Omar Orev are on the prowl for a home in Miami Beach. She's Italian, he's Israeli, an overseas power couple, investors with big money to spend.
"This two-bedroom home was listed last year, the listing price last year was $3.4."
That's 3.4 million.
"Today, we're listed at $2.495."
A million dollar savings. Silvia and Omar don't bat an eye.
"The super euro is buying more than ever."
3. International investors are diving into the America real estate market, thanks in part to a weak U.S. dollar and in Florida, anyway, a 30 percent drop in prices.
[GREG MCBRIDE/ BANKRATE.COM] "The U.S. Dollar is at an all-time low against the euro, so those buyers have unprecedented buying power on a currency basis and with falling U.S. home prices, it's making it that much more attractive to them."
4. That buying power has American developers openly soliciting European and South American customers using slick Internet layouts, onsite tours for brokers, and print ads in overseas magazines.
"This is absolutely the best moment. The best moment for everybody."
"People who don't make offers today are going to look back and regret that they didn't buy."
5. Florida isn't the only hot market for outside investors. Texas is reeling them in and so is California. Real estate agents say the main attraction, warm weather and vacation destinations. Is America for sale? Better than foreclosures, market watchers argue.
[KATHLEEN COSTANZO, COLDWELL BANKER REALTOR] "Not only do they buy houses, it's just the whole domino effect. They're going to buy houses, they're going to remodel, they're going to buy carpeting."
Keeping the economy going and more often than not, plunking down cash for a piece of America.
