Five Doral Listings Under $500K

South Florida has ridden a huge wave out of the financial debacle that sank the real estate market several years ago – and at a pretty fast rate.  Much of the rebound is due to the influx of foreign buyers wanting a solid place to put their money that would offer a good return.  The US real estate market – specifically Florida – fit the bill. 

In a press release from the Miami Association of Realtors, “Brazil again led all foreign countries searching for South Florida real estate on the MIAMI Association of REALTORS® (MIAMI) website in February 2015.”  Additionally, according to MAR, “Brazilians spend the most on South Florida properties among foreign consumers, paying an average of $495,000. On average, Miami’s international buyers paid $444,000 per purchase, compared to $245,000 statewide.”

The Doral real estate market is on an upswing in terms of development by real estate developers that see the value. For foreign buyers looking at South Florida as a place to invest, Doral real estate offers significantly more property for the money.  When considering the above statistic, here are the top five Doral listings under $500K:
