Dawn Hodson Staff writer A woman was fatally struck by at least two vehicles on Highway 50 near El Dorado Hills early Thursday morning after driving the wrong way in eastbound lanes, overturning her vehicle on a 30-foot embankment and then running onto the freeway, according to investigators with the California Highway Patrol. The incident occurred around 4:15 a.m. Aug. 6 near the Sacramento County/El Dorado County line between Latrobe Road and East Bidwell Street. The victim, identified as 37-year-old Crystal Mora of Sacramento, was pronounced dead at the scene. Westbound lanes of Highway 50 were closed at El Dorado Hills Boulevard through the early morning hours. The incident remains under investigation and no other details were available as of press time.

aised on a horse ranch in Sloughhouse, artist Tracy Ross has been surrounded by natural splendor since her earliest memories. “I was always inspired by the beauty of the foothills and Sierra Nevada mountains,” she said of her childhood years in the quiet countryside. Now Ross resides in El Dorado Hills with her 9-year-old son Ryder and creates splendor via murals throughout the county. Her father’s name is Bob Ross who, although a painter, is definitely not the same Bob Ross of television fame, she shared, explaining that her interest in art started early through her dad’s influence and by 17 years old she created her first mural depicting a giant chicken on the side of a feed

CSD to reopen its after-school program soon Sel Richard Staff writer The El Dorado Hills Community Services District is once again offering its own after-school program, Adventure Zone, slated to begin Aug. 17.

More than a year later, the new program will be operated by CSD staff with the purpose “to provide a safe, caring and enriching environment,” said CSD Recreation Director Michael Cottrell, assuring that robust protocols, procedures and expectations have been created and implemented in the program. “Staff are trained on all facets of the program and will be audited n

Invasion of body snatchers

lien plant spores from another world fell on Earth and have grown into giant seed pods that have the ability to take on the human form. When the giant pod is placed near a sleeping person it replicates that human, assimilating the physical characteristics and memories into an identical likeness — only the mind is devoid of all human emotion. The mystery of strange seeds being mailed from some obscure location in China has many citizens worried in our country. Americans are already confronted with the Wuhan flu virus and the mass hysteria it’s causing. That script is better adapted to the 2008 movie “The Happening,” when an unknown, airborne virus causes people to commit suicide. I suspect anyone wearing a mask outdoors with no one in sight has seen this sci-fi flick. But wait, with the escalating number of suicides occurring there’s a parallel developing between today’s virus and the fictional movie. Now we have strange seeds from China being mailed to households across the country. In the 1956 movie “The Invasion of The Body Snatchers,” Dr. Miles Bennell desperately tries to warn others of the strange phenomenon taking place. People are not themselves any longer; they’re behaving oddly and the community of Santa Mira is in jeopardy. Sixty-four years since the movie’s debut, a real-life invasion of the body snatchers appears to be in full motion here in the United States. Just look at those rioting in Portland, Seattle and beyond. Their minds have been altered. They no longer appreciate their country, fellow man or anyone with a different perspective. I suspect these nefarious seed pods arrived here

much sooner than now. Individuals and entire organizations have been exposed. Their minds altered with ideals counter to the values and freedoms we share. CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times are infected. Most, if not all, of the personnel working at these news media organizations are no longer who they used to be. One by one seed pods were placed near employees during the night. The seed cover spilt open and an oozing foamy substance was blown away, exposing the new shell of the human forming inside. This person would carry a blank stare with no emotions. Everyone would be equal. No individualism. No ambition. No sense of responsibility. In their quest for new followers these beings share the same ideology. Everyone must depend on government assistance. Corporations must be abolished. Religion must be eradicated. Everyone must think alike, act alike and never speak out against the new world order. The invasion of the body snatchers is under way. Many in powerful political positions are accelerating this takeover of our free spirit, our freedom to worship, our freedom of self-determination and the freedom to speak our minds openly in the public square. As Dr. Miles Bennell and his girlfriend Becky Driscoll tried to escape the wrath of the invaders in the movie, our own citizens attempt the same. The blaring sound of the town’s alarm in the movie has been replaced with tracking technology in our cell phones and public surveillance cameras. If we’re unable to overcome this threat we’ll soon live under the same totalitarian control that China and ■

CRIB NOTES by Julie Samrick

Who’s got it worse?

hen schools shuttered in March most couldn’t have predicted it would be five months before children would go back and, even then, school wouldn’t be what they’d known. While most of our local children are starting school remotely from home this week, a few will be on campus for a little while, with how that looks varying. It felt like the Twilight Zone when my high schoolers were envious to learn their younger sister got to go back for half days before finishing the rest of her school day online. Less than a year ago my high schoolers were sent home because of a water line break and it was my middle schoolers who lamented the injustice. All schools are in a no-win situation right now as they undertake an entire paradigm shift in quick time. The most controversial issue I’ve noticed surrounding schools is whether kids should be back physically and if so, how? Many parents want their kids back in the classroom now, believing that the mental health effects of the virus — keeping kids away from friends, structure, activities and in-person learning — are worse than the virus itself. Still others’ fear of exposure to the virus is paralyzing. To them it is an obvious, hair-pulling choice to remain physically apart. To many kids, especially younger ones who don’t have the independence that a driver’s license or a parttime job bring. for instance, school is their world. Think about your most vivid memories between the ages of 5 and 15 years old. I’ll bet at least one has something to do with school. While we continue to figure out best practices at schools everywhere, let us remember to stay connected through other communities too, even if we need to

•

create new ones. For our kids this could be neighbors, sports teams, Scouts, church friends. Even if these interactions mean masks, Zoom calls or no hugs, it is important for us all to stay connected to people who care. There is much news about anxiety and depression being on the rise among kids during this pandemic but I don’t need to see numbers when I think about my daughter’s smile or how chatty she was after going on a bike ride with a friend she hadn’t seen in months. I heard it when my son said he’d choose to be with all 600 of his graduating classmates one last time rather than have any spectators at a graduation ceremony. At the very start of this pandemic I worried most about older Americans. They are the ones most at risk to have severe health complications from the virus. I worried about their mental health too. They were the first ones to be told to shelter in place, to isolate themselves from grandchildren, their children and friends. Children, on the other hand, were supposed to be the healthy ones, the resilient ones to COVID-19. We rallied around our high school seniors in the spring, offering them creative alternatives to missing their end-of-high-school milestones. We thought the time would be a mere blip in their lives that they could tell their grandchildren about, their “walking to school barefoot in the snow” story of hardship. But now, in month six, many of those seniors will start college remotely from home. The class of 2021 is now missing the start of their senior milestones, as are a new class of freshmen, sixth graders, kindergartners, student athletes and more. Every child has been affected somehow by the virus. ■

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Messages from top students EDITOR: just finished reading the wonderful messages from the Oak Ridge valedictorian and salutatorians published in a recent Village Life and needed to put pen to paper. My day, as with many these past few months, was on the normal, uneventful, dull side until I read their insightful, selfless, truthful, inspiring and very lighthearted feelings about their four years at Oak Ridge High School. I was beyond impressed with how they all put themselves “out there” with their thoughts and experiences to share with their classmates, parents and El Dorado Hills community. I just felt compelled to write and give my congratulations and heartfelt good luck to these amazing students and to the entire Oak Ridge Trojan 2020 class. KATHY ANDREIS El Dorado Hills ‘

stressed how complementary they are. There is much information on the internet about Orwell. He was journalist and writer who lived away from power. He described the world that he saw and has drawn conclusions with insight that reverberates for over seven decades. There is hardly a better way than reading Orwell’s novel “1984” to understand the current U.S. government, the one installed on Jan. 20, 2017. The same is true for present day Russia and China, with some historically induced differences, of course, but one will recognize the same script — birds of a feather. Gorka, on the other hand, is a spin doctor and power player wannabe who advocates exactly the kind of world Orwell warned us about. Much can be read on the internet about Gorka too, including about his short, completely Orwellian service at Trump’s White House. If you like tough talk about society filled with conflict and turmoil and all powerful, oppressive government where ideology comes above law and top ruler above everything and everyone, then you will relish Gorka’s writing. If you hope for peaceful, lawful, prosperous society you must look elsewhere. And that, of course, is not just a reading choice. MILAN MIJIC El Dorado Hills

other nations impose on their citizens. “Look, you fools! You’re in danger! They’re here already! You’re next!” Dr. Bennell screams out in an attempt to warn others of the dangers ahead. The chaos under way in this country, the attacks on our founding fathers, the attempts of rewriting history and the destruction of our way of life is all proof that we’re under invasion by those who have been taken over by these menacing seed pods — only these seed pods are from the spores of aliens aligned with communism, socialism and marxist evil.

We are having growing pains as a nation as new habits and attitudes begin to take shape with no clear finish line in sight. Everything is changing; our entire consciousness is changing. We’ve opened the hood of the car and can see everything. It’s overwhelming, but we need to hold tight, remain connected and model to our kids how to do the same.

regularly by internal and external parties to ensure high service levels.” The “safety first” philosophy is embodied in a new feature called ePACT, an online emergency network that collects medical and emergency information for participants and eliminates the use of paper forms. Cottrell assured it is a highly secure program and allows his staff to be better prepared in dealing with emergencies. “Because it is web-based, staff and parents can securely access the system via smartphone, tablet or computer so it’s always accessible whether at the park or during a field trip,” he explained. Health protocols will include daily screening and temperature checks, enhanced cleaning, social distancing between groups and encouragement of good hygiene practices. Staff and supervisors will wear masks at all times. Parents are expected to wear masks when picking up children but participants will not be required to wear masks. “Our priority remains to be the health and safety of participants, staff and the community,” Cottrell stated, adding that any new guidance from the El Dorado County County health officer may have an impact on operations. The supervision ratio is one staff or volunteer for every 10 youth with a maximum enrollment of 30 participants. Age-appropriate and integrated activities are the backbone of the new program.

“Children are encouraged to be actively involved so that they develop social skills and learn to make responsible choices within the program’s structure,” said Cottrell. Art, science and outdoor fun will be available as well as time for homework and free play. The program is planned for operation 2 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday with early openings for all scheduled Buckeye Union School District and Rescue Union School District early release or minimum days. Participants are asked to bring a healthy snack. The program will not follow the previous hourly fee structure. Tuition will be a weekly rate of $95 and families are being asked to commit to an entire semester (August through December). “First and foremost I’d like to thank the Boys & Girls Club of El Dorado County Western Slope for providing a safe, structured and positive environment for young people ages 6-18 over the past 12 months to the El Dorado Hills community,” Cottrell said, glad to be running an in-house program again. “I’m excited to bring the programs back in-house and plan to offer the safety-first model that can still be fun-filled and is chock full of cooperative learning, which kids love.” Registration for kindergarteners through fifthgraders is currently being accepted and older grades will be waitlisted and accepted as appropriate staffing is acquired.

might even be worn down and rusted out and creating a space that a community or family can look at and enjoy for years to come. I feel like art brings people together.” Her current mural is on a sheep barn commissioned by El Dorado Hills locals Tom and Mary Lusi. The painting is 8 feet by 50 feet and covers two sides of a barn that sits on a hill overlooking Bass Lake Road. Ross has created a landscape of rolling foothills, majestic mountains, a lake with oak trees and a river. With past projects, Ross said she sometimes endured uncomfortable or precarious situations such as 100-plus-degree temperatures at the height of summer. One assignment had her painting a chimney atop a tile roof. Although Ross acknowledges that she encounters challenges with almost all of her ventures, the sheep barn has been surprisingly stress-free. “This one has been nothing but sweet to me,” she shared. “No scaffolding, no heat, just breezes and butterflies. Usually I have a sketch that I start with but (with) this one, my clients have let me just create the mural as I go. Which during this time with the coro-

navirus has been very therapeutic and peaceful. “My inspiration is all the simplest things that I find beauty in on a daily basis. Springtime brings this feeling of new beginnings, with all the wildflowers and rolling green hills; I feel like we all need a new beginning at this time in our world,” Ross mused. Despite the fact that her current mural is a landscape, Ross said her deepest interests lie elsewhere. “My passion has always been portraits, anything from painting them on guitars to charcoal or pencils,” she divulged. “I also do a lot of animal portrait commissions.” Ross uses mostly acrylic to paint her murals, but will sometimes employ oils. And she sketches her portraits with tools as mundane as a blue Bic pen as well as graphite or Prismacolor pencils. Locals who have taken notice of her work are consistently delighted and amazed. “Her current work on the side of a barn off of Bass Lake Road — in terms of depth, color and presence, I believe it’s the work of genius,” said Bruce Riseman, former owner of Placerville’s Mama D Carlo’s Italian Kitchen.

Some of Ross’ other work can be found at Crystal Basin Cellars, where she illustrated a landscape of Apple Hill on an old, rusted, 8-foot-by-30-foot shipping container. On the patio at Poor Reds BBQ she painted a clawfoot tub and part of an old metal fence line. Ross also painted the portrait of Amy Winehouse inside 36 Handles Restaurant and Pub. Ross credits much of her success to her friendship with fellow artist Robert Gilbert. “He has been a huge support in my art business and it’s always so nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of,” she said. When she’s not painting, Ross enjoys camping, fishing and hiking with her son. And her favorite read, “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,” gives a sneaky clue to her guiltiest of pleasures. “I love riding my motorcycle. I’ve got a Honda Shadow and a dirt bike,” she said. “There’s nothing better than getting out and feeling the wind on my face.” For more information visit Tracy Ross Art on Facebook, Tracyrossart on Instagram or Tracyrossart. com.

Lawsuit

shutdowns in the spring, many schools failed to track attendance. The new standards introduced in the bill are meant to address inconsistencies among districts and schools as well as a guarantee that school funding will be maintained even for off-campus students. Education funding has traditionally been based on the number of students attending per day. This was suspended during the shutdowns and districts were paid as if students were still on campus. A provision in SB 98 dictates that districts will get the same funding as last year, based on their student enrollment numbers at the end of February 2019, with no regard to increased or decreased enrollment this fall. Although proponents laud the bill’s preservation of educational equity by ensuring adequate funding to the most disadvantaged areas, those fighting

the bill contend it undermines school choice and can force top-performing schools into turning away students looking for a better option. The state’s decision is seen as a blow to communities of color who rely on the social and academic services at these public schools to close performance gaps and break the cycle of poverty. “I created Fortune School to close the black achievement gap in my hometown of Sacramento by preparing kids for college starting in kindergarten,” explained Margaret Fortune, president and CEO of Fortune School, which operates charter schools in California serving predominantly lowincome, black students. “As a result, more and more Black and Latino parents are choosing Fortune School because we are effective and they want a high quality education for their children … The state

budget changes all that and is a slap in the face to the many hard working Black and Latino parents who want the best opportunity for their children to obtain a good, high quality education.” “The moment per pupil funding stops following the child you have no equity or equality. SB98 protects schools with declining enrollment at the expense of children. It holds the child and their funding hostage to the school where they previously attended,” said John Adams Academy Director of Outreach & Compliance Norman Gonzales. “All of our campuses have grown each year that they have been in operation. Unlike other public schools, we as a charter public school have paid for our facilities with bonds from private investors and make our bond payments from the per pupil funding that we

receive for each enrolled student,” shared Gonzales. “This year our academies will welcome approximately 763 new students whose education the state will not fund. That is the equivalent of approximately $6.5 million of state funding that we will not receive. “El Dorado and Placer counties, where our schools are located, are blessed with a number of high-performing schools,” Gonzales continued. “There are approximately 50,000 students in California that will have their educations defunded by SB98 simply because they changed schools.” At the signing of the bill, Gov. Gavin Newsom acknowledged a realization of its harm to expanding schools. “By not funding those expansions, families enrolled in those schools may be displaced, with impacts exacerbated by the uncertainties caused by COVID-

19. I urge members of the Legislature to pursue targeted solutions to these potential disruptions, and will work with you in the coming weeks to enact them,” he pledged. To date, no legislation has been provided. “This is about choice, equality and justice under the law. The state has chosen not to fund a child’s constitutional right to a free public education.” said Dean Forman, founder of John Adams Academy, which has nearly completed a new 96,000-square-foot facility to accommodate the hundreds of new students enrolling in its Lincoln program this fall. “To simply sign legislation and ask for a fix later leaves families and educators lost in the balance,” Forman insisted. “The state defunding students hurts families when they need relief the most.”

Kissela Court

Continued from B1

The spacious living room has a delicate, old-worldstyle chandelier hanging from the beamed ceiling as well as a gas log fireplace and three sets of French doors that lead to the covered balcony, which has a built-in barbecue and room for seating/outdoor dining. This makes indoor/outdoor entertaining seamless and allows a nice breeze to move through, especially when the glass on the front doors and French doors in the front dining room are open. Large, arched transom windows above the French doors help bathe the living room in natural light. The chef’s kitchen boasts professional-grade appliances, a pantry closet and a large island with quartz countertops, seating and a sink. The butler’s pantry with prep space, storage and a wine fridge ties the kitchen to the front, formal dining area. Between the

dining room and the living room is a spectacular wet bar — another perk for those who love to throw a good party. Also on the main level are the home’s laundry room, a mudroom that offers access to the four-car garage (with room for storage or a boat), a half bath and a front office with French doors opening onto the front courtyard as well as a built-in workspace for two. A front suite with a charming chandelier, a full bathroom and courtyard access via another set of French doors is the perfect spot for guests. Down a short hallway is the owners’ suite. This bright space has a seating area in front of a cozy fireplace and access to the back balcony. The bathroom is stunning with an impressive glass-walled shower with multiple shower-heads and decorative tile, a deep

soaking tub that enjoys a greenbelt view, two sinks, a private toilet and access to the spacious walk-in closet. The home has gorgeous tile-plank floors in the living spaces and carpet in the bedrooms plus elegantly arched doorways and high ceilings. Downstairs is a large bonus room and two additional bedrooms — each with a full bathroom. The bonus space and bedrooms have access to the private back patio, which offers space for seating (covered and open-air). Take a dip in the beautiful pool, relax in the built-in spa and catch up with friends around the fire pit. Interested in this Kissela Court home?

Compact Greer home plan is woodsy and welcoming Associated Designs Home plan column

istinctive cedar battens and trim accent the Greer’s wooden siding, giving a clean-lined, woodsy look to this compact home. The slender sidelight and porch support post both echo and complement the vertical line theme, which neatly frames the grid work doors. This compact, three-bedroom, twobathroom plan fits neatly on a narrow lot and is as economical to build as it is to maintain. It’s an ideal size for a couple, young family, empty nesters or a single person who wants a home office as well as a guest room. If needed, it could be easily adapted for wheelchair accessibility. Family living areas flow together in one bright, expansive space that fills the entire right side; bedrooms, bathrooms and a laundry alcove fill the left. A coat closet is on the right side of the entry, opposite a door providing direct access to the garage. Natural light is abundant throughout. It washes into the living and dining areas through wide windows and into the kitchen through a smaller window that

fronts the sink. A raised eating bar marks the boundary between the kitchen and dining area. Family and friends will enjoy hanging out here, whether snacking or just conversing with those working in the kitchen. The kitchen’s ample counter and cupboard spaces include a step-in pantry. The Greer’s owners’ suite boasts a walk-in closet and oversized shower. Windows face the rear, offering added privacy along with a pleasant view of the

back yard. The side bedrooms share another bathroom, which is outfitted with a combination tub and shower. The laundry appliances that hide behind accordion doors in the hallway are conveniently close to bedrooms and bathrooms. Associated Designs is the original source for the Greer 30-484.

Nation’s housing affordability hits 18-month low National Association of Home Builders News release Despite low interest rates, a supply shortage coupled with rising home prices contributed to a decline in housing affordability in the second quarter of 2020, according to the recently released National Association of Home Builders /Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index. In all, 59.6 percent of new and existing homes sold between the beginning of April and end of June were affordable to families earning an adjusted U.S. median income of $72,900. This is down from the 61.3 percent of homes sold in the first quarter of 2020 that were affordable to median-income earners and the lowest reading since the fourth quarter of 2018.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s original estimates of median family income for 2020 were developed prior to the COVID19 pandemic. To account for the pandemic’s effects, the HUD estimates were reduced consistent with NAHB’s economic forecast for 2020. As a result, the 2020 national median income estimates used in the HOI calculations ($72,900) are 7.1 percent lower than the initial national 2020 estimates ($78,500) from HUD. “There was under-building before the pandemic hit, and the coronavirus outbreak has exacerbated the situation by disrupting existing supply chains,” said NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke, a custom home builder from Tampa, Fla.“Builders are particularly concerned over surging lumber prices that are up nearly 70 percent since mid-April.” “Home prices appreciated robustly during the second quarter due to better-than-expected housing demand in the wake of the pandemic and because the coronavirus hindered the ability of builders to ramp up production,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “Looking forward, in this record-low interest rate environment housing should be a bright spot for the economy as rising demand continues in the suburbs, exurbs and other lower density markets.” The HOI shows that the national median home price jumped to a record $300,000 in the second quarter from $280,000 in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, average mortgage rates fell by 27 basis points in the second quarter to 3.34 percent from 3.61 percent in the first quarter. Scranton-Wilkes Barre-Hazleton, Pa., was rated the nation’s most affordable major housing market, defined as a metro with a population of at least 500,000. There, 89.1 percent of all new and existing homes sold in

the second quarter were affordable to families earning the area’s median income of $66,600. Meanwhile, Cumberland-Md.-W.Va., was rated the nation’s most affordable smaller market, with 96.9 percent of homes sold in the second quarter being affordable to families earning the median income of $57,500. Rounding out the top five affordable major housing markets in respective order were HarrisburgCarlisle, Pa.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; St. Louis-Mo.-Ill.; and Wilmington, Del.-Md.-N.J. Smaller markets joining Cumberland at the top of the list included Binghamton, N.Y.; Kokomo, Ind.; Lima, Ohio; and Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill. San Francisco-Redwood City-South San Francisco was the nation’s least affordable major housing market. There, just 8.5 percent of the homes sold during the second quarter were affordable to families earning the area’s median income of $129,200. Other major metros at the bottom of the affordability chart were in California. In descending order, they included Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale; AnaheimSanta Ana-Irvine; San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara; and San Diego-Carlsbad. All five least affordable small housing markets were also in the Golden State. At the very bottom of the affordability chart was Salinas, where 16.1 percent of all new and existing homes sold in the second quarter were affordable to families earning the area’s median income of $75,800. In descending order, other small markets at the lowest end of the affordability scale included Merced; San Rafael; Santa Cruz-Watsonville; and San Luis ObispoPaso Robles-Arroyo Grande.

SURVEY:

Annual foreign investment in U.S. home sales has seen a decline Troy Green National Association of Realtors Foreign buyers purchased $74 billion worth of U.S. existing homes from April 2019 through March 2020, a 5% decrease from the previous 12-month period and the second consecutive annual decline in foreign investment in U.S. residential real estate, according to a new survey from the National Association of Realtors. Foreign buyers purchased 154,000 properties, down 16% from the prior year. NAR’s 2020 Profile of International Transactions in U.S. Residential Real Estate surveyed members about transactions with international clients who purchased and sold U.S. residential property from April 2019 through March 2020. Foreign buyers who resided in the U.S. as recent immigrants or who were holding visas that allowed them to live in the U.S. purchased $41 billion worth of U.S. existing homes, an 8% decrease from the prior year and 61% of the dollar volume of purchases. Foreign buyers who lived abroad purchased $33 billion worth of existing homes, down 1% from the previous 12 months and accounting for 39% of the dollar volume. International buyers accounted for 4% of the $1.7 trillion in existinghome sales during that time period. “Foreign buyers and

recent immigrants have become less of a force in the U.S. housing market over the last couple of years,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “A lack of housing inventory — the primary factor hindering domestic buyers — is also holding back some foreign buyers. Additionally, less crossborder travel, falling international trade and fewer foreign students attending American universities are impacting foreign homebuyers.” China and Canada remained first and second in U.S. residential sales dollar volume at $11.5 billion and $9.5 billion, respectively, continuing a trend going back to 2013. Mexico at $5.8 billion, India at $5.4 billion and Colombia at $1.3 billion rounded out the top five. China was the only country among the top five to

see a decline in dollar volume from the previous year ($11.5 billion from $13.4 billion). Colombia replaced the United Kingdom as the fifth largest country of origin by dollar volume of foreign buyers. The median existinghome sales price among international buyers was $314,600, 15% more than the median price of $274,600 for all existing-homes sold in the U.S. The price difference reflects the location and type of properties desired by foreign buyers. At $449,500, Chinese buyers had the highest median purchase price, with nearly half of them purchasing property in California and New York. “In the upcoming year, better opportunities may become available for foreign buyers in large U.S. cities like New York and San Francisco,” said Yun. “New patterns

of domestic migration are trending away from expensive cities to more affordable suburbs and small communities because of the pandemic and greater work-fromhome possibilities.” Nearly half of foreign buyers – 48% – purchased a home in the suburbs and 29% bought a home in an urban area, a figure that’s held steady over the last five years. Seven percent of international buyers bought property in a resort area, down from 15% in 2009. The decline in the share of foreign purchases in resort areas reflects, in part, fewer buyers from the United Kingdom and Canada, who tend to buy vacation homes. For the 12th straight year, Florida remained the top destination for foreign buyers, with 22% of all international purchases happening in the Sunshine State. California ranked sec-

ond as the destination of 15% of foreign buyers. Texas at 9%, New York at 5%, and New Jersey at 4% completed the top five U.S. destinations for international buyers. “While we’ve seen a recent softening of demand, interest in U.S. real estate from international buyers remains strong overall, especially in the most affordable metropolitan areas,” said NAR President Vince Malta, broker at Malta & Co. Inc. in San Francisco. All-cash sales accounted for almost two out of five — 39% — international buyer transactions, with a higher percentage among non-resident compared to resident foreign buyers at 59% and 27%, respectively. Nearly two-thirds of Canadian buyers — 66% — made all-cash purchases, the highest share among foreign

buyers. Asian Indian buyers were the least likely to pay all-cash at just 8%, but the most likely among international buyers to obtain a mortgage at 87%. Forty-percent of Chinese buyers made an all-cash purchase. Half of foreign buyers purchased the property for primary residence use and three in four — 74% — purchased detached single-family homes and townhouses. “Driving economic development through diverse and inclusive communities continues to be a top priority for NAR,” said Katie Johnson, NAR’s general counsel and chief member experience officer. “NAR collaborates with associations across the country to educate foreign buyers on the opportunities in U.S. real estate and maximize the global business potential in our local markets. NAR and the Realtor brand — built on professionalism — has grown to a network of 104 real estate associations across 85 countries, ensuring stable, accessible markets that allow our members to make direct connections with global real estate professionals and sources of foreign investment.” View the full 2020 Profile of International Transactions in U.S. Residential Real Estate at nar.realtor/researchand-statistics/researchreports/profile-of-international-activity-in-us-residential-real-estate.
