While there are some economists who warn that the euphoria won?t last forever, the current state of the U.S. real estate market looks pretty good. So good, in fact, that international buyers are buying property at near record rates. A recent report by the National Association of Realtors shows that international clients purchased an estimated $68.2 billion worth of residential property in the 12 months ending in March 2013 ? or 6.3 percent of the total value of the existing home sales market in the U.S.

Of that $68.2 billion, five countries accounted for 53 percent of total purchases.
