In the past few months, many international investors have grown more wary of properties in the U.S. However, many of them still plan to grow their holdings in the country, and their multifamily portfolios are expected to expand in the coming year, according to a recent survey from real estate investor association AFIRE.
Sixty-three percent of respondents to the survey — conducted in March from a sample of 72 AFIRE member companies — have a negative outlook on cross-border investments in 2025, up from 45% in the fall 2024 survey. Despite this, 44% of investors outside the U.S. report that they plan to increase their U.S. property investments in the coming year, up from 24% the previous year. Only 8% intend to reduce their investments, down from 33% in 2024.
