> my understanding is 15% of all US residential real estate is bought by foreign buyers

It’s not. If an article says that, it’s using such an absurd methodology that renders it useless.

The number likely hovers around 2-3% depending on how you define foreign investor.

There’s no QA around these types of articles and every incentive to just come up with the biggest number possible to try and rile people up. Often these are press reports from people with vested interests in real estate.
