International Residential Real Estate
Most international residential real estate transactions are generated by individuals purchasing lots or built units (including family homes, apartments, condominium units). These purchases form the bulk of what is sometimes referred to as the vacation/second home market or residential tourism market.
Some of the factors leading to the growth in the international residential real estate sector are:
- the rise in international tourism and travel;
- the baby boomer generation reaching retirement age and looking for more flexible retirement options;
- the increase in available information on the World Wide Web regarding property listings in countries around the world.

Famous quotes containing the words residential, real and/or estate:
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”

“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Our vices always lie in the direction of our virtues, and in their best estate are but plausible imitations of the latter.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
