This year, there were none,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/heather-mahmood-corley\">Heather Mahmood-Corley<\/a>, a Redfin Premier agent in Phoenix. \u201cI actually helped a Canadian sell their Phoenix home earlier this year. People from Canada are retreating from owning real estate in the U.S. because of political tensions; some of them are worried it will no longer be practical to travel back and forth between the two countries, and some don\u2019t want their money tied up in the U.S. But also, we\u2019re not seeing as many snowbird buyers in general; I\u2019ve noticed older people are more concerned about their stock portfolios and 401Ks as the economy fluctuates.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Historically, Canadians have made up the largest portion of international homebuyers in the U.S. In 2024, for instance, Canadians made up <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/2024-international-transactions-in-us-residential-real-estate-report-07-17-2024.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13% of foreign buyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, snapping up $5.9 billion worth of U.S. real estate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Fewer Canadians Are Searching For Homes in Nearly Every Major U.S. Metro Area<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a metro level, fewer Canadians are searching for homes in all but two of the 50 largest U.S. metros. The biggest declines in Canadians looking for U.S. homes are in big cities: Canadians searching in Houston dropped 55.2% year over year in May, and dropped 53% in Philadelphia and 47% in Chicago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Significantly fewer Canadians are searching in warm places that typically attract a lot of Canada-based second-home buyers. The number of Canadians searching for homes in both Miami and Orlando declined by about 30% year over year in May. Canada-to-Phoenix and Canada-to-Riverside (Palm Springs), CA both declined by about 23%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI haven\u2019t worked with a Canadian buyer in at least a year,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/marsha-mcmahonjones\">Marsha McMahon-Jones<\/a>, a Redfin Premier agent in Palm Springs. \u201cI\u2019m in touch with a few potential buyers, but they\u2019re staying put in Canada for now with the idea of potentially making a move if and when Canada-U.S. relations improve. I haven\u2019t heard of any Canadians who already live here part of the year <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">listing <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">their Palm Springs home, though.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those second-home destinations followed a similar pattern as Canada-to-U.S. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/redfin.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> users overall, with sharp dips in April and slightly smaller but still significant dips in May.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81260 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-52.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"552\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-52.png 552w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-52-300x254.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth noting that the housing market in Florida, a popular destination for Canadian buyers, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/florida-homes-for-sale-record-high\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has cooled<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for American and foreign buyers alike. Fewer people are interested in buying homes in Florida\u2013particularly coastal parts of the state\u2013as insurance costs soar and climate disasters intensify.
