Chinese buyers snap up US homes as Americans contend with affordability crisisChinese buyers represented largest portion of foreign investors in terms of total spending and transaction volumeA surge of international buyers, mainly from China, have picked up homes in the U.S. over the past year as U.S. households continue to face mounting challenges in the market.The number of existing homes purchased by foreign buyers from April 2024 to March 2025 increased for the first time since 2017, according to a recent report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The report highlights that Chinese buyers represented the largest portion of foreign investors in terms of total spending and transaction volume, purchasing $13.7 billion worth of existing homes – an 83% increase from the prior year.That is a significant uptick from the $7.5 billion worth of purchases in the prior year, according to NAR. These buyers also have the highest average purchase price at $1.2 million, with the majority of purchases being concentrated in states with hefty price tags. For instance, about 36% of Chinese buyers purchased a property in California, while 9% purchased property in New York, according to the report. The number of existing homes purchased by foreign buyers from April 2024 to March 2025 increased for the first time since 2017.

Real estate experts say the housing affordability crisis in the U.S. is creating more opportunities for overseas buyers. (Steve Pfost/Newsday RM via Getty Images) / Getty Images)"If you look in that NAR report, over half of these international buyers are making cash purchases, because they can. They're wealthy international folks who are looking at the market in the U.S. right now and seeing there's not a lot of demand for homes in the U.S.," Berner said, adding that American buyers are content to sit on the sidelines right now because of affordability issues. The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage is 6.67%, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. That's more than double the roughly 3% rate seen in December 2021, highlighting the growing pressure Americans face with borrowing costs.While foreign buyers aren't necessarily edging out American buyers, they are capitalizing on the weak demand in the market.

Nationwide, prices have risen nearly 4% year over year and a staggering 60% since 2019, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies' State of the Nation's Housing report. In turn, it drove the cost of a typical existing single-family home to a record $412,000 in 2024. However, if paying in cash, experts say it is a good time to buy, regardless if it is an international or American buyer, given that they are skirting those high borrowing rates. Berner said the interest from international buyers is a welcome relief to certain sellers amid slow sales activity. "It's helping to kind of eat up some of the inventory that would otherwise go unsold," Berner said, adding that Realtor.com has seen a rise in delisting activity because "people are just kind of giving up on selling their home."

El deterioro de 7.698 millones (8.934 millones el año anterior) relativo a activos financieros originales representa en torno al 50,7 % de su valor contable.La unidad de activos inmobiliarios, que recoge aquellos inmuebles traspasados como tal en origen, presentó una minusvalía de 1.197 millones -969 millones el año anterior-, lo que representa un 31,6% de su valor contable. Los gastos no financieros se redujeron en el ejercicio un 13% hasta 511 millones y los gastos financieros por los intereses pagados en el año de la deuda emitida por Sareb aumentaron un 21% en 2024, hasta 1.042 millones por el alza de los tipos de interés.La cartera de activos se reduce un 62% desde su origenA cierre de 2024, Sareb tenía en cartera 12.050 activos inmobiliarios y 6.949 activos financieros.

HOY ES UN DÍA HISTÓRICO: ¡¡¡EL IMPERIO CREMATOCRÁTICO ANGLO SE ESTA SUICIDANDO!!!.—En todo el mundo, lo cripto funciona porque la gente está entrenadita con el humo del Ladrillo.Pero es increíble que el Estado del hegemón monetario se apunte al humo puro y, encima, se mutile una pierna. Vamos a tener el mundo inundado de falsodólares digitales, señoras, señores.Es una jugada de muchísimo riesgo porque les recuerdo que aún no está dada oficialmente «la» recesión en EE. UU. Cierro los ojos y veo la mano temblorosa en el búnker de Berlín en 1945.Estas son, de forma muy sucinta, las tres leyes cripto que ha aprobado hoy, 17/07/2025, el Congreso de EE. UU. (a la primera solo le falta la firma del POTUS y las otras dos han pasado al Senado):• GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins): su propósito es regular las 'stablecoins' respaldadas por el dólar (dinero estricto, deuda pública y otros activos seguros a juicio del legislador), estableciendo requisitos contables y de información, y la supervisión.Nótese que «respaldada (contablemente) por» no es «colaterizada con». La colateralización es la relación jurídica entre una hipoteca y «su» préstamo. Colateral se usa en contraposición a subyacente (relación entre un bono y sus cupones). Los cripto 'bro' abusan del concepto de colateralización, como minería, moneda, etc.Lo más acojonante de esta ley es que permite las 'stablecoin' algorítmicas, es decir, las que ni siquiera están respaldadas por nada, sino por un 'software' que evalúa constantemente la oferta y demanda que habrá de la 'joya' esta (¡¡¡ofeeerta y demandaaa, pura metafísica!!!) y de acuerdo con sus sabias fórmulas procede a crear o destruir existencias de la misma (en tiempo real y en sede contable del emisor, je, je) para ajustar el precio al objetivo de 1:1, porque todo el mundo «sabe», ¡ja!, que precio alto es porque falta oferta o porque hay mucha demanda, y viceversa.Como son «estables», te vas a encontrar en tu propio país vasallo con fondos de inversión 'conservadores' que van a tener un 17% materializado en este «maravilloso 'dinero' invento del s. XXI, que los cobardes burócratas de Bruselas ignoran».• CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act; Clarity es el acrónimo de 'Clarifying Law Around Regulation and Innovation in Technology for You' —parece de cachondeo—): establece el marco regulatorio para 'hactibos' digitales, separando competencias entre la SEC (Security Exchange Commision) y la CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission).Se trata de crear la apariencia de seriedad y pastoreo por el Estado, lo que eufemísticamente llaman en la cueva de Alí Babá «institucionalización».• Anti‑CBDC Act (Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act): prohíbe que la Reserva Federal emita una moneda digital de banco central (CBDC), porque los pobreticos ciudadanos se susceptibilizan si les controla el Estado, 'Cambridge Analytica' no, Facebook no, el Estado sí.¡¡¡Esta tercera es el cierre de la jugada!!!: la gran cagada. El razonamiento es el siguiente: el dólar digital sí computaría en los agregados monetarios más líquidos. No mola, pues. La tokenización de la deuda pública, por contra, disimula el impresorazo (la gente cree que el Dinero es solo el dinero estricto y poco más). Pero para que tengan éxito las colocaciones de las mierdas digitales 'privadas' en el exterior, hace falta que el Estado desaparezca formalmente de la ecuación, aunque sea el que alimenta el Activo de los emisores privados.Urge que el BCE ponga en circulación el euro digital y que se jodan los criptocaraduras. ¡Que gusto ser de la UE! Es una delicia tener nuestras recesiones y todo. Aún no nos hemos atrevido poniendo en su sitio el Ladrillo... pero ya está aquí (por cierto, veo que los ladrillistas son conscientes de que les viene un calvario dentro de unos años... ¡no tienen ni idea de que es inminente y que va a ser para siempre!).Si no se produce prontamente la puesta en circulación del euro digital, España debiera pedir el ingreso inmediato en EE. UU. como 51.º estado virtual y...• con los 'hactibos' de la Sareb-Sepes, 'colateralizar' una 'stablecoin', la Ladrillojodeté coin; e• inspirada en la oferta que falta y en la demanda que sobra (por extranjeros), emitir el Tuputamadreliving token.Volviendo a EE. UU., esto tiene que ver con la BBB ('Big Beautiful Bill') y demás gasto público elefantiásico, y en consecuencia con la deuda pública a cascoporro con la que el imperio-dólar pretende anegar el mundo para eludir la saludabilísima obligación capitalista de dar recesiones de vez en cuando para limpiar desajustes.Una pregunta 'inocente': ¿qué significado tiene el antagónico plan de consolidación presupuestaria que ha anunciado al mismo tiempo Francia?Desde luego, qué alucinantemente histórico es este 2025, señoras, señores.¡Viva la desangloidentificación! BR, salida. US, adiós.Tienes que preguntar en tu banco: ¿Mi fondo tiene directa o indirectamente 'stablecoins'? Hazlo por escrito porque va a haber sangre.P. S.: Como siempre, no me hagan mucho caso. Mi crítica es mordaz y con sesgo ideológico, propia de quien está cansadísimo con la estafa del Ladrillo. Peeero aquí hay riesgos reales para tu dinero. Ni siquiera la supresión de la permisividad con 'stablecoins algorítmicas' o la retirada de la prohibición del dólar digital van a poder evitar la inestabilidad sistémica. Ciertamente, hay tres crisis superpuestas: coyuntural, estructural y sistémica.
Central banks face dilemma over rise of dollar-backed stablecoinsCountries balance public demand for digital money against warnings over sector’s risks to financial stabilityThe Bank for International Settlements last month warned that the unchecked rise of stablecoins could threaten the public’s trust in money © Arnd Wiegmann/ReutersGlobal central banks face a dilemma over whether to embrace stablecoins or promote alternatives to the new technology, as the US’s aggressive backing of privately issued tokens thrusts the fast-growing sector into the financial mainstream.This week, politicians in Washington are advancing legislation to ban the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital currency and provide a regulatory framework for privately issued stablecoins. For the Trump administration, such tokens, which are mostly backed by dollar assets, offer a vehicle to project the strength of the greenback globally.But the Bank for International Settlements, the umbrella body for central banks, last month warned that the unchecked rise of stablecoins could threaten the public’s trust in money, imperil monetary sovereignty, and potentially pose risks to financial stability. Policymakers are also wary that these tokens can act as conduits for crime.Some countries are instead trying to develop their own central bank digital currencies, which would give the public access to safe central bank money in digital form and could stem the tide of dollarisation. But such projects have had limited success.“We’re in this bizarre world right now where dollar-backed stablecoins are dominant. Left unchecked, this is a road towards rampant dollarisation,” said Christian Catalini, founder of the Cryptoeconomics Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “But this isn’t the equilibrium. Other countries around the world understand this,” he added. “Their dilemma is: do you try to slow this down or embrace stablecoins as a source of financial innovation by promoting domestic [versions]?”There are about $250bn of stablecoins in circulation globally, with virtually all linked to the dollar. Investors have piled into such instruments, which can be used to park cash before trading cryptocurrencies or as a means of payment. Transactions settle in minutes rather than days and usually at a fraction of the fee charged by banks.Analysts believe the sector will expand rapidly. The Citi Institute recently said it expected the supply of stablecoins to reach $1.6tn by 2030, and to grow to as much as $3.7tn, boosted by the US’s more crypto-friendly legislation. But the sector’s rapid growth creates the risk that countries that do not follow suit could miss out on the sector’s growth and the chance to shape regulation.The Bank of Korea last month suspended trials of its own central bank digital currency and eight local commercial banks are working on a joint won-backed stablecoin. In recent months, the Bank of England has signalled it would relax its previous restrictive stance on stablecoin issuers. “UK authorities have moved because they’re suddenly worried about losing competitiveness in a world in which the US wants to make stablecoins mainstream,” said Varun Paul, senior director for financial markets at Fireblocks and former head of the BoE’s fintech unit.He added that much had changed since the BoE launched its first consultation on regulating stablecoins in 2023. “Back then, the technology was on the fringes of the financial system but now its growth is skyrocketing. The BoE understands that if it doesn’t relax its approach, it will lose the ability to set the rules.”However, this month BoE governor Andrew Bailey told The Times that moves by big banks to launch their own stablecoins could threaten financial stability. He also said it would be “sensible” for the UK to move towards tokenised deposits — digital versions of commercial bank money that allow for faster settlement — rather than launching a central bank digital currency.In the Eurozone — where some policymakers hope to promote the euro as an alternative reserve currency to the dollar — the European Central Bank has been a strong advocate for a central bank-issued digital currency. The bank has been working on its own digital euro project for retail use since 2021 and is keen to limit the bloc’s dependence on US companies for payments infrastructure.But while there are 69 retail CBDC projects in development globally, only three are live while two have been cancelled, according to the Atlantic Council, a think-tank.Overshadowing CBDC projects is the experience of Nigeria. In 2021, it launched its own digital currency, but consumers largely shunned it, instead opting to buy privately issued dollar-backed stablecoins. The project’s failure led to the government cracking down on cryptocurrency exchanges.The Nigeria experiment failed in part because the so-called e-naira was only a digital version of the underlying fiat currency, which was also not trusted by the public, said Nitin Datta, chief of staff at UNDCIF, a UN body for digital assets.“Nigeria was an open market experiment,” he said. “Exchanges and stablecoins will have a role to play as you can’t shut out the market.”But Ruth Wandhofer, chair of the UK payments systems regulator, said stablecoins still had to prove they could be used at a large scale. A global corporate treasurer “can’t use stablecoins to make large value transactions across borders”, she said at a conference last month, citing foreign exchange costs.“In some countries, there is also a lack of consumer financial education, payment network and IT hardware and transparency,” she said. “Ultimately it means that if you start using stablecoins in the middle, to get cash in and cash out, you may end up paying more than if you went to Western Union.”She added that more transactions taking place in cryptocurrencies would mean less taxation for governments. “So, of course, we have to have a digital sterling and digital euro eventually,” she said.For such projects, the creation of a digital euro was now the litmus test, said Josh Lipsky, senior director of the Atlantic Council’s geoeconomics centre at the Atlantic Council. “If the Eurozone gets this right, it would show the world that a public-sector option is viable — and become the global standard-setter for it,” he said.
