Florida Real Estate Currently a Hot Commodity Amoung Canadian Investors - So Says the Florida Property Store Investment House

According to a report released this year by the BMO Financial Group, more than 500,000 Canadians currently own property in Florida. Canadians account for roughly one-third of all foreign real estate purchases in Florida, making them the largest group of international purchasers in that region. My Florida Property Store does not see this number dropping anytime soon.

"Since 2004 we have seen a steady climb in interest from Canadian buyers in general, with many Torontonians recently purchasing property in Central Florida primarily as a lifestyle choice, for present and future use. Much of the demand however has been assisting many investors from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) with strategic purchases to improve and diversify their investment or retirement portfolio."


Like many, Canadians are drawn to Florida for its warm winters a pleasant alternative to a season that often brings loads of snow for those north of the U.S. border. According to the Herald Tribune, and the Florida Association of REALTORS®, 13 percent of Canadian buyers are opting for homes in Central Florida. Central Florida real estate is ranked second in popularity among Canadian buyer’s, beat out only by Sarasota. The wide array of attractions available for all ages in the Orlando area makes it an enticing locale to purchase a second home in. Central Florida truly provides a "one-size-fits-all" vacation experience.


In addition to the lure of Central Florida’s weather and attractions, Canadians are also drawn to purchasing in Central Florida for favorable costs. According to the Herald Tribune, the median-priced of homes in Florida is nearly half the price of those in Canada. In addition to these savings, the Canadian dollar currently trades approximately 10 percent above 'fair' value versus the U.S. dollar. This valuation provides Canadian shoppers with extra buying power that they are content to assert in the Florida real estate market, which is perceived to be "on sale" currently.
