Why Florida
People all over the world envy the Florida lifestyle.
With its cosmopolitan cities, world class beaches, golf, boating and sports Florida offers an attractive lifestyle. The state’s strong economy is another positive factor for the Florida residential market. More than any other state, Florida is known for its diverse population and its ability to attract new people.
Many buyers from outside the United States including Europe and the Pacific Rim benefit from the weaker U.S. dollar which multiplies the purchasing power from the buyers paying in Euros, Yen or the British Pound. Buyers from Latin America and Europe also appreciate the relatively low cost of Florida property compared with similar homes in their own countries. For U.S. buyers, one of Florida’s financial attractions is no state income tax. In addition, qualified residents benefit from the state’s homestead exemption, which reduces local property taxes.
