Best In Luxury Real Estate™
2026-10-10
The U.S. runs the world’s largest current account deficit—but that’s not the whole story. A new Federal Reserve note reveals the real driver: global demand for American assets. The U.S. has the largest negative net international investment position (NIIP) among OECD nations, not because it’s in trouble, but because the world wants to hold its assets. This isn’t a risk—it’s a structural advantage. For luxury real estate, this means foreign capital isn’t just flowing in—it’s securing a permanent stake in the most liquid, trusted market on Earth. How does this dynamic shape the future of high-end real estate as a global asset class?
