Canadians are hurrying to sell their U.S. homes as tensions between the two neighbors and historic allies mount, exacerbated by President Donald Trump’s push to impose tariffs on the country, Axios reports. Canadian property owners in states like Florida—which are popular with “snowbirds” escaping harsh winters—are “worried,” said broker Alexandra DuPont. She said she’s working with some 35 Canadian sellers, but no buyers. “They feel like they have to take a break from the U.S. for now and see where it goes,” DuPont said. Trump’s promised tariffs take effect on April 2, in what Trump has branded as “Liberation Day.” Canadian Mark Dunlop, who is selling his Florida winter home, told CTV News that the White House doesn’t “understand the visceral impact—the punch in the stomach Canadians feel.” “We didn’t think things would get any worse between the United States and Canada,” he added. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed to impose reciprocal tariffs.
