Editorial | CASABROVA
All articles →CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — October 2026
The board barely moved: twenty-one of twenty-nine markets are unchanged, and the three that crossed two points did so because our own readings changed, not because anything happened in those markets. The top is now a three-way tie — Estonia 74.6, Poland 74.3, Slovenia 74.3 — with three tenths of a point between first and third.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — September 2026
The Score did not move: no market changed by even half a point, and Estonia edged past Poland into #1 by 0.20 — inside the noise. What moved was the cost of money, and in opposite directions: New Zealand and Korea raised, Israel cut, Canada held, and 12-month Euribor crossed 3%. House prices rose in 25 of the 27 markets we can price for 2025, led by Hungary at +18.3%; only Canada and New Zealand fell.
Q2 2026 Investor Briefing
Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
Global Investor Briefing — May 2026
Scores were stable this month — the real stories are a generational currency window for shekel buyers, Greece emerging as a withdrawal candidate while Spain surprisingly holds at peak, and three markets moving from correction into recovery.

Dallas-Fort Worth is CASABROVA's flagship US market, offering the strongest population growth (1.5%+ annually) and job creation of any major US metro. Average home prices of ~$350,000–450,000 are well below coastal cities, while LTR yields of 5–6% and STR yields of 7–8% in tourist-adjacent areas like Arlington (AT&T Stadium, Six Flags) provide solid cash flow.
Texas has no state income tax, making rental income more efficient than in states like California (13.3%) or New York (8.8%). However, property taxes average 2.2% of assessed value — among the highest in the US — which must be factored into net yield calculations. No foreign ownership restrictions; foreigners can obtain US mortgages at 6.5–7.5% with 30–40% down.
Key considerations: DFW's suburban sprawl means location selection is critical. Areas near the DART light rail, Legacy West (Plano), and the Arts District command premium rents. The market is less cyclical than coastal cities due to diversified employment (defense, tech, finance, logistics). For Israeli investors, direct TLV-DFW flights and the large Israeli community in North Texas provide familiarity.
