Singaporeans, South Koreans, Israelis and Norwegians are accelerating purchases of U.S. real estate as a growing economy and rebounding prices lure yield-hungry buyers from overseas.
International investors made $7.97 billion in U.S. commercial-property purchases this year through April, a 25 percent jump from the same time in 2012, according to Real Capital Analytics Inc.

With deals including the tallest buildings in Los Angeles and Minneapolis, cross-border buyers are contributing to a U.S. real estate recovery that has seen prices by some measures reach new peaks. Sellers are taking advantage of the rising values and demand. Blackstone Group LP, the second-biggest U.S. office landlord, has said it expects strong interest from sovereign-wealth funds for properties it plans to sell starting this year.
