With sunshine, tax advantages, and year-round outdoor living, Florida remains a top choice.

As the holidays wind down and the new year approaches, many people start rethinking where they want to live. For some, the cold weather is the push while others are looking for a simpler lifestyle, more sunshine, or a move they’ve been considering for years.

If you’ve been thinking about moving to Florida, there are two good reasons you should consider: 

1. Sunshine all year round and outdoor activities. Florida offers year-round sunshine and outdoor activities. While other states deal with snow and freezing temperatures, we’re out walking, biking, and enjoying the weather.

Here, you get an outdoor lifestyle 12 months a year. Whether you’re retired or working, being able to step outside without coats, ice, or gray skies can transform your day.

2. No state income tax. Living in Florida means more money in your pocket. As a no-income-tax state, you’ll have greater financial flexibility, which is a significant benefit whether you’re retiring or investing in property.

“Whether you’re retired or working, you’ll love being able to step outside without coats, ice, or gray skies all year round.”

As 2026 approaches, it’s the perfect moment to think about your real estate goals.

• Do you want to downsize?
• Move to a different community?
• Find an investment property?
• Relocate for lifestyle or weather?

Whatever your plans are, we love helping people think through their next steps. And here’s something important: You don’t have to know exactly where you want to live yet. 

If Boca, Boynton, Delray, Deerfield, Hollywood, or Miami aren’t the right fit, we can still guide you. Our team works with trusted partners across the state, including Naples, Tampa, and Orlando, and we can help in New York and New Jersey as well.

If you have questions about different Florida markets or have a friend or family member who needs help elsewhere, we’re happy to be a resource. Call us at (561) 843-4464 or email dankarp@kw.com or laurie@activeluxury.com. Whether you’re staying local or moving from out of state, our goal is simple: to be your trusted advisor.
