Yes, you heard me right! I speak Canadian! I'm down here in Myrtle Beach armed and dangerous and ready to make some Canadian Buyer a great deal on a Beach Property. With the loonie now more valuable than the US Dollar for the first time since the bicentennial (that's 1976 in case you forgot), more Canadians than ever are finding Myrtle Beach the most enticing place for that second home, vacation getaway/investment property.
Average home prices in Canada were $ 317,825 in December ‘07, according to the Canadian Real Estate
Association. That compared with $ 255,211 for single-family homes and $ 218,232 for condos in the Myrtle Beach area in January.
With direct flights offered by Myrtle Beach Direct Air & Tours between Myrtle Beach and Niagara Falls, a Canadian buyer could come for the weekend and leave the proud future owner of an oceanfront property.
Financing is no longer a problem. RBC Centura, a subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Canada, with offices in Myrtle Beach is now ready to give our Canadian Buyers a great deal on a mortgage. While most banks require a visa or passport, RBC Centura only requires proof of Canadian citizenship.
With oceanfront prices dipping to an all time low-you can buy a fully furnished oceanfront condo for only $ 70,000 US Dollars!!!-now is the time to make good on those dreams of warm Ocean waters and white sandy beaches.

I can always tell who the Canadians are: they are the ones wearing only a T-shirt when it's 54 degrees outside and all the locals are bundled up because it's a bit chilly...
...So they tell me...
What do you think about the Loonie gaining so much lately? This is such a good time for Canadians to buy here...
Keep in mind, that the average home in Canada is taken from the most populated areas of Canada; Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia. Many other provinces within Canada are not going for the prices due to lack of people within those provinces. So yes, many people from Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia might flock to Florida, but many of the others, don't see the prices as cheap enough to buy. As an Ex-American citizen, I see that here in New Brunswick, even though it's starting to transition to a growing economy.
Ann-Marie: Good information. Thank you!
How do you like living in Canada? Being in Myrtle Beach, I'm spoiled. I don't think I could deal with such cold weather again (I dealt with it in Romania, the country I was born and raised in).
I'd love to hear from you on this!
Our Average selling price is pegged at about $190,000 here in Halifax, Nova Scotia. But oceanfront homes go for $450 +.
Thats a good deal considering your not scraping the ice off your car around the first week of April! We have had a terrible winter. Snow / Ice pellets/ freezing rain - You name it. Oh well - We can look forward to a good long golf season of 5 months.
I should think about linking my site! Not a bad idea.
Come see the beach in July! Check out my new blog and see what you're missing:

Hey this is before I even joined Active rain......but cool post about canadian buyers! :-)
We get a lot of Canadians buying condos in Kihei Maui too. I can usually spot them by their accent. Just found this group and joined up.
Anne Marie- had a client who was tossed between your area and ours. Fortuneately for us he chose the Clearwater/Palm Harbor area to retire. I am keeping your contact info in case of any future referrals. We deal with numerous Canadians. My Real Estate partner just came back from a trip to Quebec and Ontario provinces. So send any referrals our way. Thanks.
