Really dont get how people like living in major cities that are overcrowded. Its miserable. The people suck, the traffic sucks, prices suck, everything sucks.
We purchased a house in South Tampa in 2005. We sold it in 2023 and do not miss it at all. Tampa changed for the worse, traffic, rude people etc. We enjoyed living there until 2019 (that is when we felt things changed).
Im excited for droves of people moving out, nothing makes me happier. I love Florida and the Tampa Bay and plan to stay forever, people leaving is music to my ears!
@metadegen you assume I can't afford insurance. You should also know that flood insurance is the biggest cost. I don't live in a flood zone, in Pinellas County and pay $2800 for insurance.
I like how he assumes interest rates will come back down. They may never come down to 2-3% again. It may have been the generational low. If they do reach that level again it would mean a really bad recession or inflation is sky rocketing. I’m talking like 2021-23 but on steroids.
Decrease in value 2 1/2%? What a joke! Get real. I wouldn’t buy any house in Florida for anything more than $200K. Florida has a long long long long way to go. Here’s a wake up call. Hurricane season is less than six months away. So get ready for another round Florida!
I spent the first 61 years of my life in Tampa Bay. It is very crowded. Home prices are insane. I live in a lot less populated area now. I bought a house on a lake built in 2002 for $280k in 2021. This same house would be $700k in Tampa easily. What I do miss are the pro sports teams. I could be at the Rays stadium in 30 minutes, the Bucs and the Bolts stadium in 45 minutes and a major airport in 35 minutes. I’m an avid golfer and we have a LOT of courses within 30 minutes of me here. And they are not crowded and are affordable. When my youngest granddaughter goes off to college I’ll probably move again. Won’t be to Tampa.
I guess people forgot this one. The realtors have been buying up all the houses and doing a little changes then flipping them and raising price on the houses. With so many doing this the price of buying a home has skyrocketed out of any control. Add the bad economy, rise in taxes, rise in cost of living . And even renting prices are out of control. Look at the price it cost to buy housing or rent. No one can afford it. Look at the cost of food alone , it's outrageous. Buy a few meals n pay over 100 , $150 bucks. It's ridiculous. And now add the hurricanes devastation. At some point those renting their houses need to stop being greedy. The renter are paying way more than what the mortgage n insurance is a month. Totally paying off the landlord's houses. You buy a trailer because you can't afford house🤔 a $700, $1000 or more per month lot rent🤨 are you serious, and that is what they are making per trailer bought on their property. Take about getting rich and the people only basically own their house if they go buy a plot of land and haul the bought trailer to it. The prices are ridiculous and the sellers and the landlords are greedy. Truth is truth‼️
I hear you. What would also help renters a lot is regulating or doing away with Air B&B like other states are doing. Make it so that you can only do X amount of Air B&B rentals per month per unit, etc. Also it's not just realtors buying up homes but rather corrupt corporations like BlackRock buying up homes in order to increase prices.
Diane, flipping is such a minor cause in Florida it's not even on the radar. With the backlog of inventory, high prices, taxes, and insurance it's not an ideal market for flipping anymore. You would be hard pressed to do well in this region.
Tampa Bay FL region used to be very affordable. The people were very friendly. The traffic was not so terrible. After 2018, masses of people started to move here, traffic became terrible, everything became very expensive. The friendly turned to rude. Too much development and people moving and trying to change a region to make it 'the place they left from'. But there is no real culture whatsoever, too many people from everywhere else in the country. The heat can be challenging, but many get used to it. The storms is for living in a sub-tropic climate. This place is not 247 vacation, but people think it is. Most locals are not at the beach like one thinks.
Well if you need me, i will be st the beach. I know its cold but im use to weather in the 60's and the sun hitting me in the face!! Where's my sun glasses?? If i were you, id stay home in the snow, cold, rain and ice, its a much better lifestyle than here!!
People adapt. The Suncoast housing prices fluctuate wildly. Prior to these hurricanes, there appeared to be a seven-year, boom and bust cycle. Houses subject to flooding now will likely loose value down to the lot value. However, people will end up buying these houses, prices will rise again, forgetting their risk. I’ve seen this in my neighborhood.
The cost of housing in Tampa (and most of the South) was too high relative to average incomes anyway. It needs to adjust down. Not to mention inventory has been rising and when people do buy they r being squeezed by other cost that were not as high before. With the way our cities and towns are built, more residents means higher overall cost for local authorities. It’s inevitable that cost will rise. Local wages are supposed to rise in response. If they don’t an imbalance is created that can be corrected by a drop in prices or a rise in wages across the board. In FL case they were relying on fresh money from other states to keep prices afloat. If that slows or even reverses then prices will drop.
Not one person mentions the Beach or Ocean. Florida is about loving the ocean not the Everglades full of bugs. If you do not go to the beach????LEAVE!!!

I’m a Floridian and I’m sadly leaving Florida . It’s a mess here and life has gotten way too hard. Enough is enough.
The traffic is absolutely miserable! That alone is enough reason for some not to want to live in Tampa.
Every city on earth complains about traffic, you traffic babies are annoying
Really dont get how people like living in major cities that are overcrowded. Its miserable. The people suck, the traffic sucks, prices suck, everything sucks.
Maybe it’s you? 🤷🏽♀️
Tampa a major city? 😂 i moved here from NYC, small town feels as far as i’m concerned.
@ please leave we don’t want or need you here. Why are you New Yorkers so obsessed with our small southern life. You are a nuisance.
Upstate and Western NY not a surprise. Home prices are a bargain. Taxes are the issue though.
When you end up in a dementia hospital from isolation your whole life you'll understand why.
Pretty sure that last guy was living in Denial, not Tampa...

Where did you move to?
Orlando has become the same. So glad I left.
@@vilette21c Oʻahu Hawaiʻi.
@@Dohair879 which is sad because we thought about moving to downtown Orlando at one time.
Makes sense. That when the Great New York/New Jersey migration happened.

Don't worry, the Californians will be there soon 😂
@wepid3426 My worst nightmare. And probably for most of the the United States. Libtards stay Away! Hahah
Insurance will price u out😢😂

Tampa is a dump.
It was so cold in Buffalo, NY one year, i saw a male dog frozen to a fire hydrant!!
Home values are declining throughout the greater Tampa area. People are freaking out.
Yea. Same here in the greater New England area. Home values keep declining with no end in sight.
Property valves still holding? He’s delusional! 😂

Who cares about it's ranked 29th? Houses are still not affordable.
Perhaps it’s all of the hurricanes that hit western Florida.

Maybe the traffic, crowds, and prices will decrease for regular Floridians that were born and raised here. I'm for one, tired of the people.

Can't live for free. Landlords need to make money. They certainly don't run charity
@@KevinDaUnicorn no one said renters should live free.
@@KevinDaUnicorn ok. Now do you have anything relevant to add to the conversation?

Too expensive, sigh...
LA is the hottest housing market in America right now
First Florida next Texas.
Texas already starting San Antonio and Austin

Typical agent. "This increase will NEVER end" & "there is no bubble". It's funny how most can't remember just a few years ago.

Sarasota is trashed.
I thought interest rates were coming down
a 1940's wood house is 280k unbelievable 😅😅😅
The armpit of FL- Tampa, stinky overcrowded, people are not nice, definitely look for other places to live for sure.
Not one person mentions the Beach or Ocean. Florida is about loving the ocean not the Everglades full of bugs. If you do not go to the beach????LEAVE!!!
A decrease by 2.5%? GTFOH that ain't shyt
Personally I don’t know why anybody who would want to live in Tampa! DUH !

Too many apartment complexes have been built. Tampa looks like a tenement city.
Great hurricanes come to Tampa 😅
Half million dollar for a 70 year old house,give me a freaking break 😂😂😂😂
Dump
😂
No doubt, these houses need to be in the 2019 price range. Keep dropping so we can buy. Looking for a 2nd home!
Weather sucks.. Traffic Blows...Rich getting richer. Middle class getting priced out for the Moochers and Illegals.
😂
