FLORIDA — Conservative Fox News host Sean Hannity has left New York to move full time to “the free state of Florida.”

"If anybody is listening to this program for any length of time, been threatening now to do this for quite a while, but we are now beginning our first broadcast of my new home, and that is in the free state of Florida. I am out. I am done. I’m finished. New York, New York, goodbye. Florida, Florida, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. But it’s great to be here," Hannity said Tuesday.

Though he didn’t say where in Florida he’s moved to during his radio show, he previously owned a condo in Naples, buying a penthouse in Moraya Bay for $4.75 million in 2009 and selling it for $5.7 million at the end of 2020, according to White Sands Realty.

Hannity has owned a Palm Beach townhouse — just about 3 miles from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago — since April 2021, according to the Palm Beach Daily News. He paid $5.3 million for the property.

During his show, he slammed Democratic-led states for their liberal policies while touting the Sunshine State for its lack of state income taxes and conservative politics, The Daily Beast reported.

“This migration out of blue states with high taxes, burdensome regulation, high crime, horrible school districts is real,” he said.

Hannity also said he was drawn to Florida for its conservative leaders, including Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, all Republicans, according to The Hill.

“And finally for the first time that I can think of in my adult life, I actually have representatives in the state that I’m living in that share my values,” he said.
