foreign buyers

Overseas market customers

Foreign buyers are purchasers from other countries, typically used in real estate and property markets to describe non-citizens or non-residents acquiring domestic assets: Foreign buyers have driven up housing prices in coastal cities.

The term often carries political charge in debates about housing affordability and national economic policy, with some jurisdictions imposing taxes or restrictions on foreign buyers.
