The U.S. Just Lost Its #1 International Buyer — Here’s Why It Matters

They bought beachfront condos in Florida, second homes in Arizona, and investment properties from coast to coast.

But now? Canada's packing its parka and going home.

For the first time in more than a decade, Canadian buyers are stepping way back from the U.S. real estate market — and in this episode, I dive into what’s really behind the shift. Is it the exchange rate? U.S. politics? Canadian real estate trends? (Spoiler: it’s all of the above.)

We break down:

• Why Canadian purchases of U.S. homes fell by $1.6 billion in just one year

• How the Canadian dollar is making U.S. homes look a lot more expensive

• What this means for hot Canadian-friendly markets like Florida, Arizona, and Texas

• Who’s actually buying U.S. homes now (psst... it’s not who you think)

This isn’t just a North vs. South story — it’s a major shift in international demand that could reshape housing markets in ways we’re just beginning to see.

If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.

Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
