New Yorkers massively move to other states: where do Russian-speaking immigrants flee from the city

Every day last year, approximately 950 people moved to Florida from the northeastern states. This is evidenced by data from a recent ICG report. According to the document, every day in 2019, an average of 20 people moved to Florida from Connecticut, 72 people from New Jersey and 242 from New York. During the pandemic, the outflow of residents from these regions has only intensified, and they still go mainly to Florida.

According to the August Douglas Elliman Report, the number of new contracts for the purchase of single-family homes and condominiums in five counties in the South and Central-West Coast of Florida doubled in July 2020 and continues to grow. The demand for homes in the region has grown by 268% compared to July last year.

At the same time, in August, those wishing to buy housing in the Sunshine State did not diminish, since many fleeing from the northeast of the country want to have time to move before the onset of cold weather, which could entail a new wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which means even more economic problems.

The reason for wanting to move is not so much the good weather as the low taxes. And the loss of a job or the transition to a remote job due to quarantine gave residents of northern states with high taxes the opportunity to live where it is more profitable for them. What can I say, even if President Trump changed his residency from New York to Florida.

According to Jill DiDonna, senior vice president of sales and marketing at a local real estate company, Florida is seeing unprecedented demand for real estate purchases.

“We are seeing unprecedented demand from across the U.S., but New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are seeing the most demand,” she said.

Russian-speaking immigrants are also fleeing from New York, with its economy dilapidated due to quarantine and one of the highest taxes in the United States. And if Americans prefer well-known Florida cities, where housing will cost more than a million dollars, then ours are looking for cheaper options and with the opportunity to live with their own people.

The city of North Port, located between Naples and Sarasota, has become the undisputed favorite among Russian-speakers in the United States.

A large Russian-speaking community was formed there, consisting of people from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. They have already opened in the city four Russian shops, an Orthodox church, as well as medical offices, law offices, construction firms, car services, etc.

In addition to the proximity to the famous Florida white sand beaches, one of which is the most popular Lido Key, near the town there is a lake, nicknamed the Russian Miracle Lake and hot springs. They were discovered by the post-Columbian Spaniards during the development of Florida and considered a source of youth.

According to Yuri Mosha, head of the company Florida Invest, which sells plots and builds homes in North Port, the influx of new customers shook the market, but prices are holding up so far.

“Plots with an area of ​​10 sq. feet (about 000 acres) cost $10-$10. For comparison, the same plot in Staten Island will cost about $000. And building a three-bedroom house in North Port will cost about $12,” he explained.

Florida Invest helps Russian-speaking immigrants and residents of post-Soviet countries who want to invest in real estate in Florida, purchase land plots, organize the construction of a house, and arrange a loan for the purchase of land (for two years with a payment of $ 500 per month).

Many people buy homes to stay in North Port and enjoy the beaches, fishing and golf. The city offers all the amenities for families with children, including an abundance of playgrounds, schools.

But some consider real estate in the city as an investment. Florida Invest offers two options for earning money on real estate in North Port:

  1. Resale house after construction, the profit in this case will be about 15%.
  2. Housing for rent. Lake, beaches, and fishing attract many pay-to-go holidaymakers to North Port $ 1600- $ 1700 per month for housing in the city. When checking in via AirBNB, you can earn $ 100- $ 150 per day, depending on the season.

The tax on a new home is $ 4000 per year. You can just buy land and not build anything, then the tax is $ 400 per year.

By means of Florida Invest it is also possible to purchase land and invest in building a house without coming to America. The company already had clients who bought a plot, built a house and profited from selling it without ever visiting the United States.

Florida is slowly becoming one of the most popular states to live in due to its low taxes and good weather. And Russian-speaking immigrants are no exception. They, too, are increasingly moving to the Sunshine State and have already managed to create their own community there. Who knows, maybe after some time North Port will become the new New York.
