Indian Rocks Beach Condominiums for Sale

Condominiums for SALE on Indian Rocks Beach Florida

Indian Rocks Beach FL condominiums for sale from MLS.

LOOKING for a nice condo on Indian Rocks Beach Florida to enjoy and share with family and friends for generations?

Indian Rocks Beach located in Pinellas County, and is part of a larger, sprawling metropolitan area which includes both St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and many other communities.

The population of Indian Rocks Beach is relatively small, and was 3,673 as of the 2020 Census.

The relatively small population gives Indian Rocks Beach a small beach town feel, as opposed to many of the larger cities in the region, including Tampa, Clearwater and Saint Petersburg.

The geography of Indian Rocks also helps keep the small-town feel, because it is located on a barrier island which naturally constrains the growth of the town.

Indian Rocks Beach is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA. Waterfront condos on the Gulf of Mexico, bays, Intracoastal waterway and salt water canals. We can arrange showings for you and even do LIVE video walk through upon request* 1-239-272-4663 or email glenbigness@gmail.com

Canadian Buyers and Florida Real Estate

 

Canadians and other foreign buyers of Naples Florida real estate continue the strong buying trend in our area. Contrary to what you may have heard, there are available financing options for Canadians on Florida properties, but the fact remains that cash is still king when it comes to acquiring most properties. The Naples real estate market still may provide a good buying opportunity for many foreign buyers because prices are still lower than what they once were a few years ago and the weather is near perfect year round. However, prices have been rising and inventory decreasing due to strong overall demand.
Canadian buyers coming to Florida, see homes, condos and new construction today!

The local real estate market offers many price points in certain areas vs. others. This is why it is important to work with a very knowledgeable local real estate advisor who can point you in the right direction, depending on your objectives. Home prices have steadily increased over the years across Florida.

Consistent demand for homes by foreign buyers and investors has become very dominant in the local housing market. Many foreign purchasers see an opportunity to diversify their assets due to the relative value coupled with secure property rights and well defined legal codes.

Disclaimer: Please note that we are not attorneys, nor tax advisors, and as such, you should consult a professional tax specialist and legal counsel with cross-border experience in real estate and estate issues.  The following is for basic informational purposes only.


What You Need To Know As A Canadian
Canadian home buyers coming to Florida search the MLS today!
There are things you need to know without incurring tax or immigration implications. The current immigration bill was approved by the Senate and states that you could get a Canadian Retiree Visa that would allow you to remain in the United States for up to eight months if you decide to own a second home here. Currently this is limited to six months, but the U.S. House or Representatives is devising its own immigration bill and is not following the arrangement put forth by the Senate. The obvious current caveat is the seven month limit you have before your health coverage expires in Canada. The bill also introduced a proposed retiree visa that would allow foreigners to purchase $500,000 in real estate with a maximum stay of three (3) years. *contact and use a real estate attorney and tax accountant always!

Owning property in Florida will certainly offer you an enviable lifestyle. It is prudent for you to understand that purchasing a home or condo in Southwest Florida may be different from the way it is done in Canada. In addition, you should also know about the advantages of 
transferring money from Canada to the USA via a currency broker versus a bank.

The way you hold title to your new property is also important for your estate planning process. There are several ways you can take title and knowing the various 
property ownership types as well as understanding Florida common law is an important first step. Other useful information you may wish to become aware of are the types of U.S. entities available to Canadians as well as what it means to have Canadian entities in the U.S

US Taxes, Entities and Canadians

The most important aspect for you as a foreign or Canadian buyer is to understand the U.S. tax implications related to capital gains tax or estate tax issues. U.S. taxes on Canadian residents and other topics, such as U.S. estate taxes and probate issues for non-residents become very important because they can mean the difference between overpaying and not making a profit when it comes time to sell, including the FIRPTA tax for non-resident aliens. Different ways of owning U.S. property can lead to distinct tax outcomes.

There seems to be a misconception about taxes and ownership of U.S. real estate by Canadians or other foreign nationals in Florida. As a Canadian or foreign buyer, there is no additional fee to the property tax on Florida real estate. Property taxation in Florida occurs independent of nationality of the buyer. If a home is a primary residence, a buyer may qualify for the lower homestead exemption rate through an application. This only applies to full-time residents of Florida.

Other significant topics revolve around complex Florida probate rules, creditor protection, incapacity issues and more. Not properly addressing these topics can have costly consequences, and therefore it is important to work with a knowledgeable real estate advisor, a cross-border attorney and a competent tax specialist when buying property in Southwest Florida.  An individual analysis and proper cross-border planning for Canadian Citizens should address a variety of points.

Canadian Florida Land Trust may be one excellent option for Canadians to own real estate in Florida.  Additionally, for second homes above $750,000 USD, a Cross Border Trust SM may also be advisable. This could substantially become more beneficial than owning property in Florida in a sole individual's name or Canadian Trust. We can refer you to competent attorneys with whom to speak. *consult a attorney and accountant as information changes!

Being a well-informed foreign buyer will empower confidence in understanding the pitfalls to avoid before uncovering the many lucrative opportunities in our real estate market. We understand what you need to know before buying property in Florida. Issues that will inevitably arise deal with income taxes, non-resident estate taxation, how to take title of ownership, required non-tax reporting in the U.S. and Canada, establishing the right U.S. business entity, TINs, mortgage financing for Canadians, property management, and withholding forms for tax purposes.

If you wish to acquire property in Southwest Florida, we will be happy to assist you and advise you on all real estate matters, as well as refer you to professionals that deal with cross-border tax and estate issues. Parker Carson International also works with several local Naples real estate attorneys that can advise you on the Canadian Florida Land Trust.

Please contact us directly for any further assistance and advice on your real estate needs. We have helped many buyers from Canada realize their goal of living in Florida.

PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER IF YOU ARE WORKING WITH ANOTHER REAL ESTATE ADVISOR. WE VALUE YOUR TIME AS MUCH AS WE DO OURS AND REGISTRATIONS OR INQUIRIES ARE TREATED AS POTENTIAL FUTURE CUSTOMERS, TO WHICH WE DEDICATE TIME AND RESOURCES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

MANATEE & SARASOTA COUNTY HORSE PROPERTIES FOR SALE

Sarasota Horse Properties For Sale. Sarasota is well known for beaches, diverse cultural events, and beautiful weather, but many people are not aware that just east of I-75  lies a whole other world of active equestrian communities with sprawling green pastures. Although there are equestrian properties and horse farms throughout the Sarasota area, they are concentrated mainly in the area that runs from the interstate east for about 10 miles.

Florida horse property for sale, home, land and barn.

Sarasota Equestrian Homes Community Information

If you are looking in Northern Sarasota County or Southern Manatee County, you will find communities such as Desoto Acres, Magnolia Hill, Myakka Valley Ranches, Panther Ridge, Pomello Park, Saddle Creek, Saddle Oak, Sarasota Polo Club, and Waterbury Tracts. If you are looking in southern Sarasota County, you will find communities such as Mission Valley Estates in Nokomis, Myakka River Trails in Venice, Englewood Farm Acres in Englewood, and the North Port Estates.

These horse friendly communities offer parcels from one to ten acre lots; however, many have five or ten acre lots as a minimum. The amenities of these equestrian properties vary, from bridle paths to riding clubs to polo fields on site. The rural homes on these properties range from affordable-modest ranches to stunning luxury mansions. Many of these communities are reminiscent of old-Florida ranching days, but you still only 20 to 40 minutes from the beautiful beaches, fantastic shopping, fine dining restaurants, downtown Sarasota nightlife and boating options. Many are located within 20-40 minutes.
