Latest News: South Florida Home Sales Up
Although the US Federal Tax Credit didn't apply to Canadians buying homes and condos in Florida, our appetite for Florida Real Estate hasn't abated. Sales numbers for the post tax credit perido indicate an almost 16% decrease in sale nationally, and a year-over-year, pending sales plunged 30 percent. This is despite record low mortgage rates. Realtors are noting that foreigners are holding up the Florida home sale market. And for good reason. With prices at rock bottom levels, this is the ideal time to buy Florida Real Estate. In Miami Dade County, average condo prices were only $125,000 while homes averaged $196,700. It stands to reason that many of these properties will become rental properties.
Entering the Florida condo rental market is the perfect way to finance your Florida home if you're not living there 6 months of the year, or if you're buying as an investment. It's a good bet that much of the current demand for Florida Real Estate is investment related. Most investors are watching bank foreclosures and power of sale listings.

Florida Retirement News
Canadian Can now get Health Insurance in the States
Canadians with pre-existing health conditions who were thinking of a Florida Retirement, are now able to apply for health insurance in the US. The Globe and Mail has reported that a new Health Bill called the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, as part of the Affordable Health Care Act was passed by the US government, and will allow Canadians to receive US health insurance, after certain conditions are met.
Robert Keats, author of The Border Guide said, “When you move to the U.S., you actually get your Old Age Security; it’s not clawed back any more, so that’s $6,000 a year or $500 a month. Plus your Canada pension, a portion of that comes tax-free, and then you pay a lower tax on the part that you pay tax on. So between the Canada pension, tax reduction, and the Old Age Security not being clawed back any more, that is usually more than enough to cover health insurance for a Canadian in the U.S.
Other Florida communities: Beverly Hills, Boca Grande, Broward County, Cedar Key, Avon Park, Winter Park, Dunedin, Everglades City, Florida Keys, Destin, Daytona Beach, Englewood, Homestead, Delray Beach, Lakeland, Longboat Key, Key Largo, Kissimmee, Key West, Indian Shores, Lakewood Ranch, Land o Lakes, Kendall, Oviedo, Palm Harbor, Panacea, Ocala, North Naples, Neptune Beach, Siesta Key, Seaside, Sanibel Island, St Petes Beach, Sunrise, Tampa Bay, Royal Palm Beach, Winter Park, Valrico, Titusville, and Tarpon Springs.
