MIAMI — Germany posted the most global web searches for Miami homes in October 2022, according to a new report by the MIAMI Association of REALTORS® (MIAMI). Colombia, which had topped the list of foreign countries searching for Miami real estate for the past seven consecutive months, finished second.
“Germany’s surging interest in Miami real estate could be a result of Hurricane Ian’s impact to Southwest Florida and how German buyers, long time purchasers in Southwest Florida, could be shifting their investments to Miami/South Florida,” MIAMI Chairman of the Board Fernando Arencibia Jr. said. “The data continues to show a diverse list of foreign homebuyers searching for Miami real estate.”
Germany accounted for 22.19% of all international searches on MiamiRealtors.com in October 2022, up from 1.66% in October 2021. Most of the searches came from Berlin—the top international city searching MiamiRealtors.com in October 2022.
MIAMI REALTORS® will exhibit with the prestigious Immobilien Verband Deutschland (IVD), a Berlin-based real estate association that represents more than 6,000 member companies, at EXPO REAL from Oct. 4-6, 2023, in Munich, Germany.
