Countries
Eight markets, three grades.
We don’t rank them — what matters depends on the buyer. Ease of purchase, safety, and cost of living, side by side.

Safety is the destination view (best to worst buyer area). Cost is the documented formula against a comparable US city. Ease of purchase is derived from how a foreign buyer takes title and whether local financing is available — both read from our cited buying guides; the grade links to its source.
