Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • Canadians are selling U.S. vacation homes in record numbers, driven by political uncertainty, a weak Canadian dollar, and rising costs of ownership.
  • President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods, annexation rhetoric, and new rules requiring foreign nationals to register for stays over 30 days have fueled fears among Canadian property owners.
  • Real estate agents report a surge in Canadian listings in popular snowbird destinations like Florida and Arizona, with some areas seeing a 600% increase in Canadian-owned properties for sale.
  • The trend marks a significant shift, as Canadians have historically been the largest group of foreign buyers of U.S. residential real estate.

What Happened?

Canadians are rapidly selling their U.S. vacation homes, citing a combination of economic and political factors. The weakening Canadian dollar, which recently hit a 22-year low, has made it more expensive for Canadians to pay property taxes, HOA fees, and insurance in the U.S. At the same time, selling in U.S. dollars has become more lucrative due to rising property values in popular snowbird destinations like Florida and Arizona.

However, political uncertainty has been the tipping point for many. President Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, coupled with his comments about annexing Canada, have left many Canadians feeling unwelcome. New rules requiring foreign nationals to register for extended stays have added to the unease.

Real estate agents in Florida and Arizona report a sharp increase in Canadian-owned properties hitting the market. In the greater Phoenix area, Canadian listings rose from 100 to 700 in the first quarter of 2025, while Canadian buyers have declined by 40%.


Why It Matters?

The selloff marks a significant shift in the U.S. real estate market, as Canadians have long been the largest group of foreign buyers. From 2010 to 2013, they accounted for 23% of foreign purchases, and even in 2024, they remained the largest segment at 13%.

The trend also highlights the broader impact of geopolitical tensions on cross-border investments. Many Canadians fear potential U.S. government actions, such as increased taxes on foreign-owned properties or even nationalization of Canadian-owned homes.

The exodus of Canadian property owners could have ripple effects on local real estate markets in snowbird hotspots, potentially reducing demand and cooling property prices.


What’s Next?

As Canadians continue to sell their U.S. properties, the focus will shift to how this impacts local real estate markets and cross-border relations. The Trump administration’s policies and rhetoric will likely remain a key factor in shaping Canadian sentiment toward U.S. property ownership.

Meanwhile, Canada’s own restrictions on foreign homebuyers, including a ban on non-Canadians purchasing residential real estate in heavily populated areas, may further discourage cross-border investments.

Real estate agents and policymakers will need to monitor these trends closely, as they could signal broader shifts in international property ownership and investment patterns.
