Now, that tide is turning — fast.
A Political Shift Is Reshaping Florida’s Housing Market
Rising political tensions between Canada and the U.S., combined with an escalating trade dispute and increasingly polarized rhetoric from Donald Trump, are prompting many Canadians to rethink their U.S. real estate exposure.
According to Canadian media and industry data, Canadians collectively own over $60 billion in Florida real estate. But sentiment has changed.
A recent survey by Royal LePage found:
54% of Canadians who own U.S. property are considering selling
The primary reason cited: the current political and economic climate
Declines in Canadian ownership were seen across all major Florida markets, with Southwest Florida hit hardest
Royal LePage President & CEO Phil Soper summed it up clearly:
“The polarizing political climate in the United States is prompting many Canadians to reconsider how and where they spend their time and money.”
Why Florida Listings Are Rising — and Prices Are Softening
As Canadian owners exit, inventory is quietly building in once red-hot markets like:
Sarasota
Cape Coral
Fort Myers
Many sellers are motivated — not just to sell, but to sell quickly.
That creates a rare combination buyers haven’t seen in years:
More listings
Longer days on market
Increased price flexibility
Willingness to negotiate on terms and financing
Why This Is a Golden Entry Point for Buyers & Investors ☀️
While headlines focus on losses, seasoned investors see something else:
Opportunity.
Florida’s fundamentals remain strong:
No state income tax
Strong population growth
Global tourism demand
Long-term rental and short-term vacation potential
A proven track record of recovery after downturns
History shows that moments of uncertainty often produce the best entry points — especially for buyers who can move decisively with the right financing.
