PR Newswire
CHICAGO, Oct. 21, 2021
CHICAGO, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 55places.com––a leading real estate platform for adults 55 and older––recently surveyed 1,274 snowbirds based in the U.S. about their travel plans for the 2021-2022 season. Snowbirds, a term often referring to retirees and 55+ active adults, are known to migrate south to a warmer climate during the winter season. Based on the 70% of participants who are moving forward with their annual migration, the ongoing pandemic is causing little impact.
For 70% of snowbirds, relocation plans are in motion.
"Although COVID-19 has caused disruption in the day-to-day, many things have progressed since last year, driving an improved sense of security for travelers in this age demographic," said Danny Goodman, COO of 55places.com. "It should come to no surprise then that Florida remains a popular destination for snowbirds, likely due to its warm, sunny weather, abundance of 55+ communities, and low cost of living."
On the other hand, the pandemic is the primary reason for halting 7% of snowbirds.
Uncertainty remains for 27% of snowbirds who have not yet made a decision.
