In Scottsdale, AZ properties are not only attractive to American investors but also to our Canadian neighbors. In fact, Canadians are continuing to buy Scottsdale golf real estate as second homes and as investments. This trend started in 2008 and has carried to this day. It’s simple Canadians love the sunny weather in Scottsdale, AZ! Scottsdale weather is pleasant all year round and is a refuge for residents who don’t like the chilly weather.

Scottsdale Real Estate of Interest to Canadian Families

Scottsdale also offers golfing amenities, first class shopping, resorts, spas and awesome outdoor activities. It’s simple to see why Canadian investors would find all four areas of Scottsdale a great place to call home. However, there is also an investment opportunity here. The American dollar has been declining recently, while the Canadian currency has remained in tact-or at least remained more consistent in value. This enables Canadian real estate investors to spend less money on high quality properties and gain big rewards. In addition, United States homes have lower property taxes than Canadian properties and practically no restrictions or extra charges. These are some of the motivators that Canadian investors are thinking over.

One of the best reasons to purchase in Scottsdale is golf homes. Whether you’re looking in North Scottsdale, South Scottsdale, Shea District or Downtown, there is always a golf course nearby. Actually, there are over 200 courses in the entire city. North Scottsdale certainly has some of the nicest golf in the area and in the state, with residential neighborhoods like DC Ranch, Desert Mountain, Legend Trail and Troon North.

Great Ideas for Canadian Home Buyers

Scottsdale Arizona homes for sale can range between 200,000 to over $5 million dollars, depending on where you are aiming to be. North Scottsdale easily has the most expensive properties, while South Scottsdale has more working class scenarios. When you shop Scottsdale AZ properties on the internet you can search by location, according to types of homes (condos, townhouses, villas) or according to sales price. You can also search for communities in Scottsdale, such as retirement communities or golf communities.

Canadian real estate investors should realize that there are some minor legal issues involved in buying American homes from another country. For instance, you need a tax ID or SSN in order to get around a certain “surrender penalty” that can be applied by the American government in some situations. For the ideal case, it’s best if you let a Scottsdale company guide you in your investment opportunity. Scottsdale Realtors, like Jen Wehner, can help you invest in high quality properties with potential, or direct you to local neighborhoods that offer excellent living conditions.

Whether you are searching for easy urban living, a country lifestyle, a turn-key condo, a resort style country club, or a completely maintenance-free vacation home, a Scottsdale real estate broker, such as Jen Wehner, will help you get started with relocation and investment. Hey, someone has to gain from the U.S. dollar decline or else the economic crisis of 2008 benefits only the suits on Madison Ave. That beneficiary might as well be our Canadian neighbors!
