Byron Burley - 2018-04-18 - - The ranking was determined based on Canadian users’ Google searches conducted from January 2017 to January 2018, using keywords regarding homes for sale abroad and showed that these guys are big spenders. If it is true Canadians like buying properties by the sea it is also true that they are investing in the U.S. Actually, if compared to 3 years ago they are spending more and more. ![](https://agent.properstar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1-Apr-18-2022-10-19-32-16-AM.png?width=384&height=404&name=1-Apr-18-2022-10-19-32-16-AM.png) Point 2 Homes graphic on top international destinations for canadians According to the NAR’S Profile of International Activity in U.S. Residential Real Estate, the foreign investment is growing in the U.S. and this trend will continue to be noticed during 2018. The areas that are more seductive to Canadians are Florida, California, and Texas. ### And why is that happening? Well price is for sure a good reason. The average price for a home in the U.S. (312,482 CAD) is roughly half the Canadian one (602,100 CAD). However, the weather conditions are for sure a huge plus when it comes to seeking house abroad. There is nothing like a barbecue by the pool, right? ### And how does a dream house can look like in the U.S?
