Canadians do not want to live in America and this shows: the number of Canadians looking for American houses is decreasing by 20% from one year to the next

Given a tense political climate riddled with prices, security problems and border arrests, it is not surprising that Canadians are not as eager to visit or live in the United States as in the past.
Redfin data published on Monday shows that the number of Canadians looking for American houses is down almost 20% compared to last year. The dive started in February when the Trump administration announced a 25% rate on imports from Canada, according to Redfin. The prices were suspended for a month, but entered into force in March.
“A Canadian customer is selling his last American property because he no longer considers him as a good place to invest or vacation,” said Cheryl Van Elsis, a Redfin agent in Las Vegas, in a statement. “He used to own four houses in the Las Vegas region, which he mainly rented to other Canadians here for casinos or poker events. But now he no longer wants links with the United States ”
The analysis is based on the number of users of unique Canadian Redfin.com (that is to say that each user is counted only once) in search of houses to buy or to rent in the United States, which had dropped from 19.5% from one year to the next in August. The most steep drop in April – a 34.2% drop in annual shift – when the Trump administration announced its global tariff policy. Admittedly, the total number of all potential buyers and tenants seeking on Redfin.com also decreased during this period, but only by a “fraction of the amount” of Canada.
Some Canadians have been so resistant to us, they completely get around with the country. Michael Mortensen, a development consultant based in Vancouver, 58, told NBC News from NBC News He refused to spend money in the United States while President Donald Trump “takes iidi and chaos feathers. He had planned Hawaiian holidays with his family, budgeting around $ 10,000, but had started to examine alternative destinations to avoid the United States “without even a link or a stopover. Canadians were also seriously unhappy with President Donald Trump suggesting that Canada becomes the 51st American state.
“We have to defend Canada, you know,” said another Canadian citizen at CBS News. “They push us in our eyes, so we were able to bring them back.” Meanwhile, a March investigation of more than 1,500 Canadians to light showed that two thirds of respondents said they had reduced their purchases of American products.
Historically, Canadians liked to visit or move to Florida, New York, California, Arizona and Nevada, according to Allianz. They all offer more favorable climates and many tourist attractions. But they are also among the cities identified by Redfin as having the most steep decay in Canadian research. Las Vegas has seen one of the biggest French tourism falls, its mayor recently pleaded for Canadians to return.
“As mayor of Las Vegas, I say to everyone in Canada, come. We love you, we need you and we are missing,” said the mayor of Las Vegas, Shelley Berkley, at a press conference last week.
West Palm Beach, Florida, saw the greatest drop with a drop of 26.6%from one year to the next in August, followed by Tampa (-23.1%) and Orlando (-23%). Anaheim, California, experienced a 26% drop in research traffic and Los Angeles research fell by 25.5%.
The other cities that have dropped more than a 20% drop in research traffic from year to year include Columbus, Ohio; Detroit; San Diego; Washington, DC; Boston; And New York City, according to Redfin.
