South Florida remains the most attractively priced region relative to other US markets. Not only is the price per square meter still relatively low, but the region also offers one of the greatest appreciation potentials in the world, according to studies. Florida has remained the top US destination for international buyers for 14 consecutive years, according to the National Association of REALTORS®.
