In Sunny Isles Beach over $240m worth of condo real estate was sold in 2007

In a slow housing market, one type of buyer is still bullish on America -- foreigners. According to a new study by the National Association of Realtors, about one in five American real estate agents sold a second home in 2007 to a foreign buyer, defined as someone who has legally entered the United States to buy a home. A quarter of the agents surveyed said their business with overseas buyers had increased over the past five years.
