Realtor.com economist Jiayi Xu highlights that the rollout of increased tariffs coincided with reduced interest from Canadians in warm-weather real estate, particularly in Naples, where online traffic from Canada fell dramatically from 73% to 59.6% in a matter of months. This retreat underscores a larger trend of Canadian hesitation towards U.S. investments amid ongoing trade disputes and controversial U.S. political sentiments.
