A recent slowdown in international travel is raising concerns among real estate experts about its potential effect on the U.S. housing market, particularly in luxury destinations that have long relied on wealthy overseas buyers. With fewer international visitors touring properties, demand for high-end homes in cities such as New York, Miami, and Los Angeles may take a hit. Traditionally, international buyers have played a crucial role in maintaining price growth and activity in these markets, but ongoing travel restrictions and geopolitical tensions are prompting many to hit pause on their U.S. home searches.
In addition to impacting sales volume, experts warn that declining international demand could lead to longer listing times and potentially softer prices in the upper end of the market.

Real estate professionals are watching trends closely, as a prolonged dip in overseas interest could shift market dynamics more broadly.
