International Visitors To US Go To Florida, Almost Exclusively

By Douglas A. McIntyre Published

People who visited the US from outside its borders to look at real estate during the fourth quarter went to Florida. The rest of America can forget on seeing real estate traffic.

According to Point2’s US International Real Estate traffic report

Florida attracted 31.04% of all international traffic to the U.S. in Q4, yielding just under 2% of its Q3 share to competing states. Arizona held its position as the second most popular online destination, and increased its share of traffic from 15.15% in Q3, to 19.44%. Nevada also carried over its Q3 spot, holding to third place, with a marginal increase in its share of traffic (8.61% vs. 8.22%)

And,

 

Las Vegas Maintained Lead City Status – Las Vegas once again ranked first (14.53%) on the report as the overall most attractive city for online visitors. Mesa, Arizona followed in second place and Orlando, Florida in third.

Since Point2 is not exactly a mainstream research firm, the numbers may be useless.
