POPULARITY RANKINGS
Orlando was ranked as the #2 collective purchase location for international homebuyers
from four of Florida’s five top foreign buyer markets in 2019 (Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, and
Venezuela). Canadian buyers placed Orlando #6 on their list of favorites.
Nearly 35% of Florida property buyers from Brazil opted for a home in Orlando last year,
up from 20% in 2018.
Interestingly, the U.K. did not make it into Florida’s top five foreign buyer markets in 2019.
In 2018, Orlando garnered the #3 spot from the United Kingdom, while in 2016 we drew 29%
of all of that country’s Florida real estate buyers and earned its #1 ranking.
