As a result, international buyers are pulling out. This comes as both the average ($780,300) and median ($475,000) purchase prices were the highest the NAR ever recorded for foreign buyers. "Therefore, it's not surprising to see a pullback in U.S. home sales from foreign buyers." International buyers tend to pull back during times of political uncertainty. It is unlikely sales from foreign buyers will improve in the coming year unless several factors, both economic and political, improve.
