“We love this place. But it came to a point now — we are in our 70s — and it’s cheaper for me to come here two months and rent.”

Canadians made up nearly one-quarter of foreign sellers in Florida between April 2023 and March 2024 versus 11 per cent in the same period a year earlier, according to a National Realtors Association report.
