Is now a good time for snowbirds to sell their American nests?
Harley Clark, a retiree from Ontario, hesitated for two years before selling his Naples, Fla., condo. Home association fees as well as maintenance costs had climbed for a while, including a recently proposed one-time charge of US$10,000 for revamping a common area.
But it wasn’t enough to make him sell.
“I was happy down there … it was just such a nice environment to be in,” Mr. Clark said. “But over the years it got worse and worse and worse.”
