Florida & Texas now make up 32% of U.S. homes for sale—about 290K listings out of 892K nationwide (as of March 2025). Inventory surges, new builds, and cooling demand are reshaping the market, especially in the MAGA territory.

that's interesting Jason. Canadians are selling their properties in floor-a-duh. Not aware that tex-ass is (er, was) as popular with Canadians. Maybe musk's move there is pushing decent folk out. What's the story with tex-ass?
Canadians are selling their homes in Florida and moving to places like the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Brazil. Fascism comes at a price and MAGA morons are about to learn that lesson the hard way.
I live in the RGV, in a 55+ community. Until recently, our park was Canadian owned. About 1/3 of our residents were Canadian. It's less now, & some are thinking of selling. The RGV in general has LOTS of our northern friends. Big problems here are property taxes, healthcare, and education.
I forgot about angry Canadians (never even realized Canadians could get angry until a couple months ago). I just just attributed the home sales to ppl worried about abortion rights & climate change. That's why I'd leave.
It's been fairly inexpensive to live in RGV. No more. Property taxes are nuts. Abbott/Paxton/Elon are horrendous. Gas industry is parching West TX. People ARE worried about those things...part of the reason we're leaving. Canadians ARE angry, but I think what's going on is PATRIOTISM has increased.
Expect trump to bail out the banks when all those loans go upside down during the coming depression unless he seeks retribution against the banks that declined him over the last 50 years.
The boom and bust cycles in our economy are due to unfettered greed and profit seeking. Rethuglicans and the rich oligarchs manipulate the economy to allow this.
And meanwhile, here in Seattle (that post-apocalyptic urban hellscape, according to Fox News) the modest, non-updated 1,200sq ft home on a 2k square foot lot on the corner sold in 4 days for nearly $1M. So 🤷🏻♀️ maybe living in a city where it’s not safe to drive a swasticar beats living in Magaville.
Maybe the blue dots could do house swaps with MAGAts in Blue States? The latter do nothing but bish and moan about how hard it is on them, being forced to live in civilization.
All the time. I’m so over the people in Eastern Washington bitching nonstop about our Governor, but know they would never consider moving to Idaho, because there are no doctors, services, or jobs.
Those of us in red states who can't move are broken hearted. This is our home and we hate the corruption that overshadows some of their beauty. All we really have is to have different forms of courage. I'm in the minority but I'm always willing to do good while I'm here. It's a special kind of hurt.
Having lived in Texas and repeatedly visited Florida, I can see why people would flee these backward states where being woke is a sign of weakness, not a sign of humanity.
we know sarcasm when we read it Liz! maggats have lived in the same rural areas their entire miserable lives. why they hang on to every car they, or their ancestors, ever owned is my question. Rusting junk. Eye sore but apparently beautiful to them.
Imagine ppl NOT wanting to live in Florida or Texas.
PSSSST...please do your research b4 you choose NC. I hear ppl say all the time they love NC. It's one of the most corrupt states. Rent/home prices soaring. I wish I'd known in 2017, what I know now! I'm letting you know in advance!
