Dear friends,

As the holiday season approaches, Florida is becoming the epicenter of festivities, events, and exciting opportunities. With its mild temperatures and sunny landscapes, this season promises to be both joyful and productive. It’s also a time of transition after Donald Trump's re-election, marking the start of a new economic and political chapter in the U.S. In this edition, we invite you to explore the latest news, key events, real estate insights, and even a seasonal recipe to make the most of this festive time!

Donald Trump : A Promising Return to the White House

November 7, 2024, marked a historic moment with Donald Trump’s re-election. His agenda, though polarizing, represents a commitment to change and optimism for America’s economy.

Economy: Trump has promised to extend the tax cuts introduced in 2017, with fiscal measures aimed at boosting consumption and encouraging investment. He also focuses on supporting U.S. industries with tariffs to reduce imports and revitalize domestic manufacturing.
Real Estate: The real estate market is expected to benefit from regulatory rollbacks and favorable credit policies. However, rising interest rates could affect home prices and investor decisions.
Energy: A focus on boosting fossil fuel production is anticipated, alongside efforts to reduce dependence on foreign energy sources.
Immigration and Security: Trump has vowed to strengthen border controls and continue building the border wall, a topic that remains highly contentious.

While his policies are divisive, many are optimistic about the potential economic benefits, particularly for the Florida real estate market. Source: Le Monde.

Commerce and Tourism: Events like the St. Augustine Festival of Lights (starting November 24) and the Naples Christmas Market (starting November 26) are attracting crowds, boosting local businesses and tourist attractions.
Local Economy: This influx has increased consumption in restaurants, stores, and attractions, helping to energize the seasonal economy.
