The majority of Canadians that own property in the U.S. plan to sell, survey finds

A Royal LePage survey shows 54% of Canadian U.S. property owners plan to sell within a year, with 62% citing U.S. political concerns as the primary reason.

  • On Aug. 27, 2025, a Royal LePage survey found more than half of Canadians plan to sell U.S. homes, with nearly two-thirds citing the current U.S. administration as the reason.
  • U.S.-Origin web traffic shows royallepage.ca visits surged 116% in Week 24 and 70% during November election week, linking political unrest to rising cross-border interest.
  • Nearly one third of respondents who sold or plan to sell U.S. property cite personal or financial reasons and five per cent point to climate risks, with many redirecting capital to the Canadian housing market.
  • Industry data show Canadian investment in U.S. housing has dropped sharply over the last five years, and Florida, Arizona and California could lose millions annually if Canadian investors withdraw capital.
  • Statistics Canada data show Canadians made 6.1 million U.S. trips in Q1 2025, down 10.8, as Canadian domestic businesses and investors increasingly prioritize homegrown opportunities with Royal LePage noting many sellers bring U.S. property proceeds back to Canada.
