Canadian buyers love Arizona

By
Real Estate Agent with Dominion Fine Properties SA582226000

In today's, Arizona Republic business section, they report that

 

"Canadians snap up East Valley homes"

 

 

Per the article, virtually every week during the past two years, a Valley home valued at a million dollars or more, was sold to a Canadian buyer, with the majority of the sales being located here in Scottsdale, Arizona.

 

 

 

Per Glenn Williamson, founder and CEO of the Canada Arizona Business Council, Arizona is the #1 place to invest.

 

Is it our weather?  The great home values?  Our low taxes?

 

I think it's a combination of all three AND the fact that Canadian buyers are savvy.

 

If you're looking to buy a home in Scottsdale, now is a great time.  Contact me to be placed on my "priority search" list.  Together, I'm sure I can help you find your new Arizona home.

Thanks, Charles and happy Easter to you.  We just got done dying the eggs for tomorrow.  They make such a great centerpiece for the Easter feast.

Wow, sounds like AZ is THE place to buy real estate these days. Now, if I could just win the lottery . . .

Happy Easter to you and yours, Juli!

I am going to guess it is the weather, the other perks don't hurt, but they can buy a big affodable house in North Dakota but opt not to. It's the weather.

I am up in Whistler right now, and I can guarantee you a big part of this is the drop in the dollar.  The Canadian dollar is strong, and it expensive up here.

LOL, Liz, I'd have to agree with you there.  That, and our very low tax rates.

Jane, I LOVE Whistler.  Although, now that my blood has thinned out from our Arizona weather, I did have a bit of body shock going on, even in August, LOL.  Can't wait to see your pix on the homes there.  I saw many of the condos, but some of those chalets just looked SO AWESOME.

Leolinda, did you catch the news article in the "republc" today?   It was really interesting.  I'll scan it and send it to you.

Okay, Endre, so maybe you're the #2 spot?   Or maybe, it's just that the Canadians know something we don't?  Like the fact that home prices are great right now?

Juli, Interesting … I had no idea that Canadians are buying Arizona. It likely is a combination of all weather, value and low taxes. With a great marketing plan … you can represent the Canadian buyers in your market. Happy Easter!
