If the grass is always greener on the other side, then maybe the water is also bluer, the mountains higher, the forests thicker, the beaches … sandier? This year, The New York Times Real Estate section brought you more international home listings than ever before, with three new possibilities every week, so wherever you might want to move next (or perhaps just dream of moving), we were probably there in 2024. In 28 countries across five continents, we led readers on home tours of Caribbean cottages, Swiss chalets, Australian estates, Maltese manors, Chilean villas and many more.
