Canadians are growing more and more fond of the idea of having a vacation home in South Florida, according to the numbers on new marketing reports from the Florida Association of Realtors. 

Canada has an especially cold winter which is part of the reason they've been moving to the area, and its consistently strong housing market has seemed to motivate Canadians to sell their primary residences.

In 2016, Canadians accounted for $8.9 billion residential property purchases in the U.S. according to the National Association of Realtors, but in 2017 they more than doubled their purchases to $19 billion.

South Florida, particularly Palm Beach County, has proven to be an attractive destination. For example, Canadians account for 15% of the 3,400…

Realtors know all too well that buyers often start searching for a home with everything on their list of preferences and end up purchasing one that looks different from what they originally said they wanted. Buyers aren't deliberately misleading their agents, they just havent seriously considered what their preferences are and end up relying on conventional thinking. Here are some tips for buyers: 

1. Begin with a preliminary visit to a mortgage broker.

Meet with a lender to set a ceiling on what you can afford. Sometimes budgeting and planning on your own doesn't take into consideration all the finer details. Get the truth from a lender before you waste your time looking in a price range you can't afford.
