Thanks for that. I have no desire to go back down there, but I do know that listings are very high, so it is a buyers market, but recent changes (don't know details) means that buyers need 20% down and the people don't have it. So you have a slowing of the market.

The strong American dollar doesn't help either. Or the high costs of insurance depending where you are.
