It's Paradise for Canadian Buyers !
If you were a Canadian and came down to Southwest Florida in 2006, you found that buying your vacation home in Paradise was a most unpleasant experience.
In January of 2006, the Canadian dollar was worth only $.87 US. Consequently a four bedroom/3 bath home listed for $400,000 US but cost Canadians $460,000 Canadian. And so many Canadians saw their piece of Paradise as being more and more unattainable.
But here we are two years later. This home in Ft Myers has fallen from $400,000 to $249,000 today. It still has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths in a gated community and only 5 miles from the gorgeous beaches of Southwest Florida. However, now it costs Canadians $249,000 with the two currencies at parity.
For a home like this and many others, it’s a “Half-Price Sale” for Canadians ! So leave your “balmy” 32 degrees in “Ta-ron-ah” and come get your piece of Paradise where it’s 88 degrees today...
