The USA property market has been hit hard recently after having been buoyant for a number of years. The severe economic downturn in the USA has meant that there aren't as many buyers as there have been over the past few years, and there is a glut of prime property for sale in the USA waiting to be snapped up by buyers who are in a good position to purchase.
Properties in the USA have always been a hit with the British because the Brits love to holiday in the USA, particularly in Florida. Only 8 hours distance by aeroplane, it means that British families may enjoy good value holidays in their own villa or apartment at good standards and reasonable cost. American property often has a pool, a terrace and spacious, well-deisgned accommodation that attract purchaser interest because there is a feeling that there is good value for money.
With the economic downturn in the USA and housing stock at a high volume aross the country, property prices have fallen steeply and many realtors and developers are offering enticing discounts to attract purchasers in a very fragile property market. Some buyers, whether seeking a second home or buy to let investors, will hang on until they are positively assured that USA property will not fall in value any further, but at the same time some buyers will be tempted by the very low prices and strike a deal.
Combined with the exchange rate of the dollar to the sterling pound, this offers an additional financial incentive for purchasers researching properties for sale in the USA, as they can stretch their money much further. The US central banking system, the Federal Reserve, have also introduced low interest rates in order to stimulate the USA property market and create demand. This means that British buyers can take advantage of the current economic climate and the USA's eager measures to push demand, and make their purchase of USA property even greater value for money.
British buyers who are researching property for sale in the USA should think about financial matters very carefully and ensure that all purchase costs are researched. Taxes in the USA are often complicated, more than in the UK and they will have to do in-depth research about the taxes they will pay including local, government and state taxes.
They will also need to consider how they will pay mortgage fees and financing their purchase. Mortgage loans in the USA are extremely difficult to be granted because of the position of sub-mortgage lending and the onset of the present economic problems. If buyers have a mortgage already arranged from the UK, or are remortgaging their UK property, this will make it a lot easier to finance a USA property purchase.
