Interesting, down here (Sarasota) had on the news yesterday that real estate prices and rental prices at an all time high....a clear vision of the have's and the have not's.

Certainly not limited to the exchange rate of just Canadians! Everyone is bailing out.
Prices on 'real' houses is at an all time low. So the 'values' of permanent sites at resorts with or without an RV have been driven way down to an all time low.
I just bought a 3/2 'real' house in Florida on an acre for FAR FAR less than any snowbird park/resort site. Why stay at a cramped CG for winter when I can stay in a beautiful house with my MH for the winter? It was a no brainer for me!!:C
That's what is driving down the prices overall and the increase of resort property for sale.

In touring a few parks in the Phoenix East Valley area, we found a common theme. Canadians are putting places up for sale in big numbers. Prices are down. The US rents are killing them in CDN dollars.

The Canadian sellers may not be getting that much of a return once they pay Canadian capital gains and perhaps US capital gains as well since it is not their principal residence. Good luck to them.

I had not thought about the appreciated property angle. The people I talked to were all mentioning feeling the hit of the monthly cost. There is a 55+ housing development here (Montesa, next to Gold Canyon RV and Canyon Vistas RV parks), that has a monthly lot rent of $600, which is about $1000 CDN. There are 70 homes for sale there.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
