Quebec snowbirds, people who move south during the winter time, have increasingly been listing their U.S. homes online. Jasmin Gosselin, pictured here, says U.S. President Donald Trump's attitude toward Canadians is what motivated him to sell his Florida condo. Many Quebec snowbirds living in Florida are listing their properties for sale, citing the high cost of living and a favourable exchange rate due to the declining value of the Canadian dollar.
The newly inaugurated president has vowed to impose a 25 per cent tariff on products from Canada and Mexico unless they curb the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders.While Gosselin considers this threat disrespectful, he acknowledges that rising costs are also putting pressure on his wallet."My HOA fees were around $500 a month five years ago. Now, it's $900 a month this year," said the snowbird.Insurance and health issues have also added financial strain on the couple.
The Quebecer with DuPont International Realty is based in Florida's Broward County, a popular area for Canadians, according to her. She has noticed a growing trend of snowbirds selling their properties.Quebec AMShe attributes this phenomenon to the exchange rate, noting the market is unlike anything she's experienced in 10 years.
