What’s the attraction?



Are you kidding? Canadians ache for the sun and warm weather in the winter months and for a winter holiday destination, it is hard to beat Florida.

Getting back and forth is convenient and cheap. The locals speak English, they accept our driver licences and car insurance, the water and food is safe and the crime rate is not a big concern.



So who are buying condos in Florida?

Snowbirds
It makes sense for them. Retirees who can afford it, can spend six months a year in Florida and keep their Canadian health care benefits.

Getting away from our harsh winters can add years to their lives.

Investors
By Toronto standards, Florida condos can seem cheap. By a unit and rent it out to a local who may pay your expenses and give you some cash flow to boat.

Holiday seekers
Buy a condo instead of a cottage and make Florida your holiday and vacation destination.
