Realtor: Clients accelerating move to swing state
BOCA RATON, Fla. — Housing prices, space to spread out, tax savings and sunshine. Those are likely reasons you think about when you think of why people move to Florida. But ask yourself, would the ability to vote in a swing state send you packing?
It may not be a big trend yet, but some Realtors, like Bonnie Heatzig, are taking note. She said she’s hearing from clients who are planning to accelerate their move.
“Everybody’s a little surprised,” she said. “You know, we’ve never really seen this in the real estate market before.”
Heatzig said the ability to cast a ballot in a swing state is among the reasons people are considering Florida as a place to call home.
“That’s a motivating factor,” she said. “A lot of people are accelerating their intention to move to South Florida in 2020 up from 2021, and we are definitely seeing that.”
