Snowbirds: Is Florida Out?

A Canadian friend e-mailed this link to me today. It's a story from the Toronto Star outlining the apparent reluctance of Canadian Snowbirds to commit to the purchase of Florida real estate now despite the abundance of properties for sale, a big decline in prices and a historic upsurge in the Canadian dollar or "Loonie." Reasons cited were the general negativity of the local professionals and press regarding Florida's real estate market, excessive insurance rates for coastal properties due to the threat of future hurricanes, and an unfair tax structure for non-resident owners of Florida real estate.

This bodes well for Arizona. Unlike Florida, non resident owners of real estate here are not punished at tax time, we have no hurricanes, and hazard insurance rates in Southern Arizona, although climbing, are not anywhere near what Floridians are paying. We also have an abundance of real estate for sale, and prices have dropped to more reasonable levels since 2005. This is a great time to buy, and sellers are more motivated than ever.

And the Sun shines here a lot! (over 300 days a year!)

So to my Canadian friends I say: Take a look at Tucson. Your Loonie goes a long way here. Bring your golf clubs too. Find out what Tiger already knows: Tucson is a great golf city as well.

This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how to keep a reader
amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost.

..HaHa!) Great job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!

Browsing digg.com I noticed your website bookmarked as: Blogger: Via Realty for Tucson
Az Real Estate. I am assuming you book marked it yourself and
wanted to ask if social book-marking gets you a large amount of site visitors?
I've been looking at doing some social bookmarking for a few of my websites but wasn't certain if it would generate any positive results.
Appreciate it.

I do trust all the concepts you've introduced for your post. They're very

are too brief for newbies. May you please prolong them a bit from
subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

I am new to building web sites and I was wanting to know if having your site title
related to your articles and other content really
that critical? I see your title, "Blogger: Via Realty for Tucson Az Real Estate " does seem
to be spot on with what your blog is about but yet, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based
more around site branding. Would you think this is a good
idea or bad idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there just stumbled upon your website via Google after I entered in, "Blogger: Via Realty for Tucson Az Real Estate" or
perhaps something similar (can't quite remember exactly). In any case, I'm relieved I found it simply because your subject material is exactly what I'm searching for (writing a college paper) and I hope you don't mind if I gather some
information from here and I will of course credit you as the reference.
Thanks for your time.

And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind.
Could it be only me or does it look as if like a few of the comments appear like written by brain dead individuals?

:-P And, if you are posting on other sites, I would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to
