South Florida’s Ideal Climate in October

South Florida’s highly anticipated snowbird season begins in October. Temperatures up north are starting to drop and South Florida welcomes cooler, comfortable days, making it the perfect time to move. October’s milder weather is also a good time for new residents to settle in without the heat and humidity. The snowbirds arriving early in the season find that gentle breezes and sunny skies make outdoor activities much more enjoyable.

Condos Are in High Demand, But Still Available

Moving in October will get you in before the rush of snowbirds who typically arrive in November and December. The early move does give you more flexibility and a better selection of condos available. Snowbirds love Boca Raton’s condos, like Boca Bayou, because they’ve got waterfront views with various amenities. While the peak season is yet to start, there are plenty of options on rental and purchase this October. Acting early is a smart choice, given that condo inventory is dwindling as more snowbirds arrive.

Enjoy Outdoor Activities Without the Crowds

One of the benefits of moving to South Florida in October is the variety of outdoor activities you can do. Boating, fishing and relaxing on a beach in Florida’s natural beauty is perfect in October’s mild weather. Before the snowbird season is in full swing, you can explore local parks, golf courses and waterfront restaurants. Also, October is the beginning of many local festivals and events that you can join in with the community.

Financial Benefits for New Floridians

Moving in October is also financially beneficial. Florida offers no state income tax, which appeals to many retirees and those relocating. If you can establish residency in Florida before the year ends, you’ll be able to enjoy these tax advantages sooner. Also, October’s milder temperatures makes it more affordable to get into your new life because of lower utility costs.
