- We all know that home prices across the nation have been rising at levels we have never seen before, but one place, in particular, is facing challenges far beyond what resembles any bit of normalcy, and it's making everyone question the stability of this particular market, with many asserting that we are in the middle of yet another bubble.

A Financial Planner told me Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. How can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings overtime?
In times like this it is better to seek help from a professional as such key decisions are better guided by experts with market experience.
That is exactly the reason I stopped trusting the financial advice of UA-camrs; in the long run, I only end up with a jumbled collection of stocks and bonds. Whereas all I needed to earn over $350k in less than two years was guidance from a true market expert.
Thanks for replying, That's a very impressive return, You must have a good idea of stocks. How did you go about it?

To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.
I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality. My portfolio has grown by more than 5 figures within just a year, and i have entrusted my advisor with the task of determining entry and exit points.
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
Finding financial advisors like Melissa Terri Swayne who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
Thank you for the information. I conducted my own research and your advisor appears to be highly skilled and knowledgeable. I've sent her an email and arranged a phone call.
Corporations and hedge funds should be prohibited from purchasing single family homes and condos.
Totally agree. I've said this before. But, with a condition. I think the property needs to be on the market for a specific amount of time to the general public before corporations can place their bids. This way, the property doesn't lose its value just sitting and rotting away. And maybe even make first time home buyers first priority as well. Something that needs to go to our representatives, because this homeless crisis has gone out of hand everywhere and these people have not come up with common sense and fair legislation to tackle this issue.
@@craigmoss4052 Excellent points.
I generally do not agree with government controls. I am not sure in this case. But I hope that market forces will hold the hedge funds accountable by driving the prices down when the glut of unaffordable real estate hurts them like happened in 2008 to 2014

There's a youtuber that braggs about owning 10000 hoses, like thats a good thing. He is part of the problem.. I have no issue with owning a few houses ok fine. But 10k? WTF. All he is doing is locking the renters in permanently. Yes it's America and he has every right to do so.. But he lacks morals and ethics on a huge scale. Same as Blackrock and the rest.
people also....just a wealthier group. It's a shame your governor just couldn't do anything about the insurance crisis.
Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.
I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.
I appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that result to unmeasurable progress. Being heavily liquid, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel, thus the search for a reputable advisor, mind sharing info of this person guiding you please?

Florida resident here. Been calling this for almost two years now. Florida is getting hit both by an inflated market and soaring insurance rates. Even if people bought low and have a nice mortgage. Their escrow is short every year due to increased insurance. Which increases the homeowner’s mortgage by hundred of dollars every year.
So back in the day I lived in apt in lbv for 500 dollars a month. That was lbv anywhere else it was cheaper like you would not believe. The 08 crash destroyed living down here. But then they began to build again and all these junk gutter high priced properties for areas that meant to be for workers its a tourist economy. With everyone moving down here and overpaying
I was in Florida a few months ago to see family and the house prices truly shocked me. I'd pull up zillow and pick my jaw off the floor when I saw that people were asking.
My family there lives in a paid off house but they were saying the insurance and taxes have become a second mortgage they can't get rid off. Add that inflation and salaries in Florida, it just doesn't make sense at all.
Once I saw Rush Limbaugh's estate sell I knew things went full insane.. he paid like 5.5M in the mid 90's.. I get that was a lot of money at the time but it selling for $130M is pure nonsense. I could get if it went for 25M or something but for it to sell for well over 100M means something is seriously broken.
I thought this was only for "variable rate" mortgages right? The "fixed rate" ones shouldn't change. Property taxes and insurance rates are variable though.. obviously.
Insurers are also bailing out of FL. The irony is most mortgage requires you to have insurance
Its not cheap to live in Florida anymore, especially in Tampa. Grocery prices are through the roof! Rents are outrageous.
LOL 😂, there are plenty of places to live cheap in Florida. Funny how you look at the major cities and claim that everywhere is the same.

Florida resident. The main 2 issues that lead to the bubble NOT bursting, are; companies purchasing entire neighborhoods to rent out, and individuals/companies buying houses to use as Airbnbs. We can't find homes to buy because as soon as they go on the market one of these companies snatch up the homes to rent out. We need legislation against companies owning residential housing, and how many airbnbs are allowed in an area. Because I know several condominium complexes that are just ALL Airbnbs now. It's gross.
And our taxpayers dollars will bail them out again.
I live on the beach in Fla in a condo no airbnbs here.. they do sell immediately but by individuals not corporations and mostly in cash …
"You vill own nussine und be appy." WEF moto
exactly. Entire blocks almost nothing but one big shell company doing rent-to-own models that are very scammy
That just drives the price of housing up. The consequence will be that developers will build more because they will be able to sell new for the same or less as used. Did we not learn our lesson 15 years ago that housing prices can and do decline?
I retired last year, after living in Florida for 34 years. I sold my house. I moved to another state. Where I could pay for a new home in cash. I have no house payment for the first time in my life. It is not a glam house or neighborhood, but I have peace mind having no more 1500 dollar a month house payment and 5k insurance bill, besides the taxes.

Florida's wage levels were NEVER anywhere near reasonable.
Northerners don’t realize that but they will when they try to resell a home they paid 1M for that was only $350 previously.
Florida is like Horry county SC aka Myrtle Beach one of lowest per capita incomes in nation service jobs are low wage incomes Florida is in same boat.
@@user-kk3qg5el1m Just because theit house was expensive up north, doesnt mean it was better or even worth it. Parents came down from Maryland after selling their house and got a better one for 1/4 the cost of house in Maryland.
@@CaptnJack Your parents could afford that Md. home because Md. has good wages, and that house was worth it because it allowed them to buy a cheaply made but nice looking home in Fla.while banking a substantial amount as a retirement nest egg! But when you buy in a state that relies mainly on service jobs, economic conditions can destroy thier housing market! which means retirees that don't buy low and get into a low interest mortgage are screwed! Florida always sounds like a dream come true, but for many it's can quickly turn into a nightmare! Also ppl are beginning to realize most of Fl. will be under water in 30-40 years, most of southern Fl. is less than 10 feet above sea level!
@@billfitzpatrick6202 people said the same thing in the 60’s s & 70’s it’s going to go under water ! lol -I agree about cheap quality of the homes though ! It’s like that in a lot of the south.
Having lived in the Naples/Fort Myers area for 8 years now, I can see the Honolulu scenario playing out. It continues to be a playground for the rich here, and I don't see them giving that up anytime soon. Although I do wonder who they are going to get to fix their plumbing and mow their lawns.
Same for Miami, or even more considering a huge % of wealthy Latam people stores their money here in RE
You are exactly right about it being a playground for the rich. But, there will always be people there to provide maintenance such as plumbing and lawn care. And yes, I myself think that this scenario will play out for a long time. It’ll be a state to visit and leave.
All chiefs and no Indians huh? LOL
Climate change will take out Naples.
Naples perhaps...Ft. Myers no.
I make 62k gross as an 18-year middle school teacher in florida. If I did not own my 840 sq ft condo, and were still living in my old apartment, I would be paying 50% of my take-home in rent. That would not include electric, water. In short I would be flat broke.
Making that type of income and watching approximately 55% go to housing is not sustainable. Eventually something gives.
My old apartment when I moved out 2020 was 1K month. It now runs 1800 for 675 sq ft.
I know people with kids who have been forced to move back home.
I hope they appreciate your dedication to stay and teach. Teacher create and mold the next generation and need to compensated accordingly!
@@JBoy340a why are you simping in youtube comments
I know a lot of teachers that get gigs in the summer and make an extra $20k to $30k running sports camps, educational seminars etc. Also, many teachers sell items on teachers pay teachers making thousands. Lastly, starting your own school can be lucrative and truly help the community.
Hope you sort it out.
🏠I hear the struggles of FL residents. Over 53% of the households combined take-home pay will be dedicated to covering the mortgage each month, reflecting the harsh economic realities of the current housing market in FL.
@@JBoy340aLOL 😂, I guess that you haven't been paying attention to the " kids" that are coming out of these schools lately. 😂
This country was sold down the river starting with Reagan when he gutted the unions, eliminated regulations, stopped taxing corporations and the wealthy and told people that money would "trickle down" - money did not trickle down and now corporations own everything (we also stopped enforcing anti monopoly and anti trust laws, to a great degree). This country is a lot like Russia before the Bolshevik Revolution. Most of the wealth is consolidated in the hands of a relatively small minority and shit is only going to get worse.
He's not lying. I got approved for a 200000 mortgage loan in 2020 in Palm Bay. Shopped for houses at around 220000. Average homes were 150000 to 250000. Fast forward today, those same homes are 500000. I do chuckle when I hear news reports of homes went up 40%. Where? Brevard County has doubled and tripled in prices. And you can't compete with the "new comers"😂
Palm Bay is a crappy to live too.
I grew up in Brevard I had to sell my house after I lost my job at CCAFS. I live in N central Florida and make a lot less We can barely afford our mortgage here due to triple insurance costs.
@AgraFarmsllc Rhonda Santis led a whole anti-woke campaign for 4 years and while he was doing that, regular Floridians were getting squeezed out of their homes. I don’t care if a dude wears a dress and calls himself a woman because those who are like that make up less than 1% of the population. What I care about is money and that’s been being impacted for the last 4 years. He’s gotta go. Them and the whole do-nothing Florida legislature.
I live in FL and imo it’s exactly the same as 2006-2007. New Buildings going up everywhere for seemingly no real reason. Construction for the sake of construction because everyone moved here during Covid then the developers thought that trend wouldn’t end.
@Nordy941 The net inflow rate is down from COVID days for sure, but FL still has ~300K net new people a year, second only to Texas.
Oh and we are all being told to watch our water usage because there is a water shortage yet permits galore for new housing to strain the water supply even more...Brilliant!
@@EJ-mm8wc I’ve got a well. Works nicely.
They never do. It's only about money. Dig into Carlos Barrouff scumbag developer who tried to get elected so he could skirt the conservation laws. Didn't get elected, didn't need to. He just bribed the county commissioners (who just resigned her seat, and the one who is now under investigation) to let him tear down acres of natural shoreline and mangroves. So he could put up tricky tacky over priced boxes that will never sell, for way too much money. It's a different spin on drill baby drill, with the same result.
Entire single family subdivisions being built and all have save owners. Built to be rentals…
The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of
2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65
it's quite concerning. I'm worried about how it might impact our portfolios, especially in real estate.
the market has been crazy lately, a few surprises here and there.. with all the global happenings taking place I think it’s safe to say that a severe global recession is looming..
You're not doing anything wrong; the problem is that you don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.
Recently, I've been considering the possibility of speaking with consultants. I need guidance because I'm an adult, but I'm not sure if their services would be all that helpful.
Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I've been with Eric Paul Elmer for the last five years or so, and his returns have been pretty much amazing.
We wanted to sell our house in FL in 2007. I knew that the housing bubble would burst, even though the newspaper interviewed real estate agents who said that it wouldn't happen. We had the house appraised and priced it $50K below the appraised value. This helped it sell before everything crashed. Moved to a rural area in NC and the price of housing, insurance, etc. was so much less.
Real estate agents are generally the worst people to ask about the state of real estate, they’re looking for a commission and that’s all. No matter the real conditions they’ll always tell you it’s never been a better time to buy than now.
@@davids11131113 Absolutely true. Why the newspaper chose to interview them, I don't know, but I saw right through it. The buyer wanted to delay the sale for about 6 months so he didn't pay a penalty for moving money around too soon, but I refused because I knew the market would collapse by then. Best financial move that I've ever made.
when I was younger it was florida for people to retire on fixed incomes, could afford a place rent, utilities and food etc. now if your on a fixed income you cant move there anymore. nc is where I would like to move since we will be on a fixed income and own our home and can sell it and buy another small place somwhere in teh middle of no where.
@@rosesmith6208 Even in the mountains of NC, prices have shot up the last few years. I know someone who bought a house about 6-7 years ago and sold it about 2 years ago. The real estate agent said to list it for $100.000 more than she paid for it. It's a typical middle class house, so it was probably about a 50% markup.
Wouldn’t it been better to just keep it till today. As long as it is in Florida…would be worth trillions
Property taxes is how they steal your home . Solman

There should be no taxes. There should be no government. We should be like Somalia, run by a group of warlords where life is Solitary, Poor, Nasty, Brutish, And Short.
@@boxsterman77 Or, maybe more like Argentina's approach. Thanks to Milei they've seen lowered inflation and the first government surplus in many years. The founders of the United States were prudent and understood that a behemoth government serves no one except itself.
@@johnfranktullo3463 That will change rapidly. At one point in time my Insurance was 50% of my taxes , now the insurance is higher than my taxes are. This happened over a twenty year period of time. Being paid off this year I will no longer insure this home.
That is why a Political and legislative Movement to Establish a Form of Allodial Title, to cut out Taxes as being the economic and Political Weapon that Taxes are presently. When one's home is PAID for it should be one's home for Life with out any possibility of Taking by a bank or Government. This would increase Home Ownership and solve a myriad of problems. The Tax aspect would have to be approached from a different perspective - but taking taxes off the table when connected to one's Home would be excellent.
Florida is a cesspool of Idiocracy. I was born and lived here my entire life, and it never ceases to amaze me, how this state has become a dumpster dive. Housing way overpriced, insurance way overpriced, rent way overpriced, services way undervalued, wages way undervalued, ridiculous laws that some are considered unconstitutional applied into law, some of the most horrendous law enforcement, corrupt politicians, the list can go on and on. The only thing this state has been good for, is providing for the wealthy, and providing things for them to buy. That's about it.

Proof?
Im in broward and inventory is skyrocketing because everyone that bought didn't think about taxes going up after a year or insurance and cant sell because no one is buying here 😮
@@joelsnyder8177I am in Miami-Dade and I agree with you. The insurance market is skyrocketing. However, with home exemption and save our homes cap they should not see large raises in assessed value. The bigger issue is in the condo market where we are going to see higher condo fees due to the new law passed after the Surfside condo collapse.
As a TN resident we’re experiencing the same thing but what isn’t discussed enough is where are we supposed to go? Our wages our lower than the rest of the country so we can’t just up and move.
Many people in Florida are simply caught in a 'mobility trap'. Meaning they can't get what they want if they sell their existing property with a 2.7-3.5% mortgage and trade for a 6% mortgage so they are just staying put and getting a second job to make up for higher insurance and taxes. Yes, I'm in Florida.
6% mortgage still is too low. Called yesterday to see the VA rates. Lowest va refi was 6.5%. Current mortgage for VA is over 7% still.
That's true in all states regarding refinance rate hikes.
It's a difficult time and you are 💯 correct on the 'mobility trap'. One way out is to move to a lower priced home/state and use the equity in the home to pay off the new mortgage.
Exactly. However, when I refinanced at 2.25% I realized that I could go work at McDonalds and still afford to pay my mortgage (maybe not with ins rates now), but I can survive just fine on relatively low pay, because I bought a house well below my means because I can't predict the future. When I lost my job during covid, got diagnosed with cancer, and had no income for nearly a year, I was okay. Keeping up with the Jones' is the leading cause of why people financially ruin themselves.
@@dl8621 yeah. People get ruined trying to live a middle class life and have what their parents did.
People keep thinking people are ruin because they got a Starbucks coffee. The reality is inflation is up 500% since the 80’ and wages are flat.
We sold our home in SW FLorida not long before the last housing crash in 2006. We made a 200,000 profit and our home was paid for. Moved back up north to the midwest. Bought a piece of property and built another home without any mortgage. The only way to make a decent living in Florida is to have your own business that does well. My husband had one for 25 yrs as a sub contractor in Naples, Fl., worked on mansions being built. Kept his business very small. Just him, and 2 other workers. In spite of business insurance, taxes, and workers comp, all those thing plus salaries, we were making decent money. We built the 2 homes we lived in ourselves. Now if you built, you have to have a General Contractor. We moved up north and my husband went to work for a bricklayers union. He recently retired. Gets a small pension from the union. But theres no way we could live in Florida now. We made the right move by getting out many years ago. Never been back.😊
No one can afford these houses, but someone is buying them. It's like Yogi Bera once said. "No one goes to that place anymore, it's too crowded"
I've just made peace with never owning or even renting a home, working 40-50 hours a week for the privilege of sleeping in my car and showering at work. Im only making 4400 a month when you need 6000 a month to even rent out a studio at 2000+ dollars.
Sorry Sir,for what it's worth politicians are hired about 120,000 a year, and somehow after 5 years they became millionaires, taking bribes from Rich to keep raising the price so we own nothing and they have everything.
Lots of us are struggling. Know that you are not in this alone. I'm a Florida realtor and I live with a buddy because everything is so expensive.
You'll own some day. The math is in your favor. It sucks that you've had to be patient for this long, but trust me. 50% reductions or more in most areas are coming to all asset valuations, but also unemployment will be 3x what it is today so hoard that cash and get ready for a couple bumpy years while prices fall off a cliff.
Move out of the area. I did after 30 years. Your life shouldn’t evolve solely around your work.. we work to make a living not to consume our living.
I now have a 1.5 hr drive and im saving thousands each year and bought more land and more home then what I could afford anywhere in the same county.
Screw buying a property in this country anymore, you don’t own it while insurance and property theft skyrockets. I’m retired and going to just rent and that’s fine with me no govt agent is going to come in and declare my property a wetland or whatever and take it. May as well just rent, that’s all you’re actually doing when you buy a house anyway.
And the governor Ron desantis line item vetoed all of the hurricane mitigation funded by the state budget. And cities are no allowed to work on state water ways. So none of the canals in Florida have gotten dredged in the last 5 years. This has a significant impact on coastal and inland flooding, and the cost of reconstruction afterwards.
Much of the south is tolerable in the winter and just plain miserable in the summer. Florida raises it to a whole other level, some parts can be nice during the winter but other areas still get into the 80's in the dead of winter. Florida is just a hellscape in its own league. I'm obliged to visit there every once in awhile and it's always an exercise in minimizing time outside just to avoid cooking to death.
@whorhaydelfuego7190 Depends on your own personal idea of ideal weather. From my perspective south FL is perfect from late October through May and miserable July through September. By contrast Michigan is miserable from November through mid April and perfect June through August. I will take the miserable heat of a Florida summer over the miserable cold of a Michigan winter any day.
Stay in the North. Snow.

I like in a small town in Tennessee but I have a home in Florida as well. And I plan to move permanently to Florida. And what people do not realize is Tennessee is having the same problems. High insurance premiums. Very expensive homes. Low wages. High taxes . And all prices are through the roof. It’s hard for multiple family members working to make ends meets. It’s not just Florida these problems are happening everywhere. The entire country will crash. I don’t see the paper $ being around much longer. No one gets bailed out next time.

I have 60 year old property in Florida. Since 2008, the property decreased in value by 150!! However, instead of Forida's governors office focused on insurance companies abandoning the state, future predicted ocean flooding, hurricanes and low wages, the GOP is focused on Disney, Rosa Parks, Transgender, college students reading lists and illegal immigrants. This has squat all to do with my property taxes and property value being in the toilet!!!!

Virtually all states are in a real estate bubble.
I know that for a fact, in Colorado since last April I’ve been trying to sell my moms house she passed away…initial ‘market price’ was $999,000, nice house almost 7,000 sq ft…. I said I thought that was too high, probate judge who I’d love to string up said no it’s fine…..12 months later it’s been price reduced to $750,000 and still no buyers it’s all complete BS full of hot air and farts, the real estate market is total lies. Meanwhile I have to pay utilities, HOA, property taxes…so I’m in the hole -$15,000 and no end in sight.
Damn.
@@davids11131113on that note, I know people laugh at California but it's crazy even here. My parents bought a house in a satellite city of Sacramento in 2015 for 330k, and in 2021 it sold for basically 700k. All the homes in the area similarly went up, and since I went to highschool that entire time I can say that town didn't change enough to warrant it besides a new Walmart being built
Global.😮
@@davids11131113 I just had to sell two of my dad's houses, he passed away in December. The realtor put one of the houses up for $579k, which I thought was too much. Lowered it to $529k and sold it quickly. Know where the market is heading and didn't want to get stuck like you are. Sorry to hear it, and hope it sells quick.
Your lucky in the US that you have 30 year fixed rate mortgages. In the UK we have 2 our 5 years for the majority of the mortgage. Which means refi and people every month are waking up to a letter stating their mortgage has gone up when their 2 year fixed rate has expired and now out on the base rate.
@serenitycoastUK can you explain 2 our 5 years? In California I have a 15 year fixed at 1.75%. Only way I'm giving that up is if someone prys it out of my cold dead hands!
Inflation is roaring at 10%+, and has been for some time. Housing market reflects that. My expectation is that housing prices in general won't drop more than 20%, will stay stubbornly high in nominal $$ but actually decline in real, inflation adjusted $$. The trick s to understand the real inflation rate, not the phony govt one, and how it affects the prices of real assets.
I think there is a mix of both. The inflation rate is 100% a lie. My dogs bag of food just went up 19.2%... But does the FED believe its own propaganda? How can they cut when something like dog food (actually a very good measure of inflation due to its varied inputs) is up 6X more than their fake inflation number? But even with that lie, I think housing can still crash by a lot. For example I looked at a house last week. It sold in 1988 for $88,000. Well if you adjust for inflation 88K from 1988 is supposedly like $240,000 in todays money... But that home is on the market for just under 700K.. So I think there is no way in hell that house falls to 240K... but 440K I think is a real possibly.. that gives a 200K buffer for the real inflation that actually did happen... the rest of the price growth was from speciation as a result of very cheap debt.
Inflation has been at 3% recently…
3% is a lie, and that's "3.5%" at best. Food, ect seem about 8% y/y for the last 3 years.
Florida is becoming such a bifurcated market that median home price is less and less useful as a metric. It would be better to divide the market into quintiles and examine the median price for each quintile. My gut feeling is the lowest three quintiles will probably see price drops to reflect how tapped out buyers in those markets are -- these are people who actually work for a living and are not seeing their pay keep up with soaring insurance and other costs. The upper two quintiles will probably see price increases because the wealthy are doing well and there is continually refreshing demand with wealthy people wanting to retire someplace with nicer weather.
Very insightful breaking the market up that way
I lived in Florida for 15 years total over the last 30. Back in the mid 90s when I first went there there was no money there. When I left there in 2018, there was no money there. I’m a trained real estate appraiser and I can tell you right now that the home prices were jacked up by competition from northerners coming down there. This is why they hate us. A housing crash in that state is inevitable. I was taught in real estate school That appreciation and depreciation on real estate was maximum 2% either way. 50% appreciation is not appreciation at all It is speculation. And the thing about speculation is it eventually all comes crashing down.

@PrestigeWorldWide777 not really ...housing has inflated at a faster rate than wages. 15 years ago the ave house cost 3x the ave salary. Now it is 6x. Don't get me wrong, I 100% agree inflation is killing us. But it is acting faster on housing, medical expenses, and higher education , especially compared to wage growth. Peace.

did u watch the video? even when adjusted for inflation, housing now is still way more expensive now than it was 40 years ago.
@@PascualMorales-py6gd Asset values are always going to go up with time. I believe the biggest wealth transfer happened in 2009-2012ish. Residential housing became an investment vehicle for those who didn’t get whipped out in the crash. You could buy up REO’s and homes for cheap. Large corporations have been buying up this type of asset. Very high inflation is making the asset holders richer, while making those who hold cash poorer. If I really wanted a home right now, I would buy something in another state that’s more affordable and have someone else pay the mortgage by renting it out. Eventually the equity will grow and I could use that to buy a personal residence or repeat. But if you are broke then maybe just invest in yourself by learning a skill or trade first. Get your income up and create passive income streams. Wild times!

Comparing HI to FL seems ludicrous. HI are relatively small islands with extremely limited build-able real estate, so it is logical that prices would be higher. FL is a vast state with seemingly endless development opportunity, and yet prices have exploded unreasonably, including inland swamp land. I live in one of those inland swamp lands and the prices here were recently in the 250k range, but now you'd be lucky to find one under 600k.
The best locations in FL are built out. Lots of not so great is left and the rich don't want that

I live just north west of Orlando. The city that I live in has seen dramatic growth over the last 20 years. Now, they are breaking ground in a new housing project in Plymouth Sorrento. This project is supposed to be bigger than Baldwin Park, celebration, anddowntown Winter Park. With 13,000 homes and it’s right next to the extension of the 429 I just got completed. Keep in mind the last year they already put four new neighborhoods right around the 429 up here by me. Now they’re going for this one. I have one question who’s gonna buy these housesin this market?
It's certainly overvalued, but the cost of raw materials has gone up significantly. You can't build a "typical family home" for $252,000 even with an honest (rare btw) independent builder. The market will certainly adjust, but I think there is a cost floor here. The one exception for this are older homes that don't meet modern wind codes- these homes will continue to lose value faster than average.
correct
There are several builders where I live building 3/2/2 1400 sq/ft homes.
Those old homes aren't losing value. And the way to avoid this travesty of USA explendor is bulding your own house.. But government doesn't want to. True that prices have gotten up, but jacking up or marking up 3times its value it is something that has been happening for years to the point that its unsustainable!
Millions of former homeowners are now in campers or homeless. We feel like it’s selected haul over, flushing out everyone making less than a few hundred thousand a year. This is horrifying to families that are indigenous to Florida. 😢

Brevard was not said correctly! :) lol Lived here my whole life, 3rd generation floridan.. if my insurance was not so high I could have paid my house off a long time ago, but due to medical situations, after the last storm the payment on the house is about 10% the rest is insurance and tax.. and yes, the house needs a new roof, that would bring the monthly payment way down.. but as I have just found out I am getting laid off in 2 months and even after chemo, medical issues go on.. its sad, I do love florida but its too expensive now.
I’m in the Tampa Bay Area (St Pete), and we’re seeing inventory rising very quickly (+250% in my zip code since Jan 2023) and prices falling. That being said, the few home sales that are closing are still at least 2X the price they were pre-2020. Eventually, either these home sellers will retract their listings or sell for deep discounts. These discounts from the relatively few home sales will have a huge negative effect on comparables.
We had a ton of out-of-state transplants during Covid, and I think they’re leaving because (1) they’re having to go back to work in NY and the rest of the Northeast, and (2) the summer heat and hurricanes are too much for them. We had several very bad storms over the last few years.
Prices rose because of these transplants. Local wages can’t support the home prices we’ve seen.
Also, Michael Bordanero lives in Miami, which is the most expensive area in the state - so while I like his channel, I don’t feel it’s representative of the entirety of Florida.

On one of his videos, I think Michael B said he is from the Mid West ....

Price always reverts back to the mean. The only way this could be the new norm is if the economic growth was organic and stable. Extreme quantitative easing caused this inflation. This is not sustainable. The jobs data is manipulated. We are in a recession that hasn’t been announced. The interest on our national debt is $1 trillion every 3 months. The consumer credit card debt is the highest it’s ever been. That means people are living off of credit cards or using them to maintain their quality of life. Cars are being repossessed. Mortgages are going into default. Commercial loans are defaulting. Tiny cracks are starting to show. Eventually the dam will break and a collapse will occur. Florida is the canary in the coal mine
It’s not just Florida. I bought a home outside of Dallas in 2001, 1800 sq ft on 1 acre of land for $147k. I sold and got out of the rat race in 2023 after my wife passed away. My HO insurance was going from $1500 a year to almost $4000 a year as the rebuild price was $485k. I’m sure Arizona and any other State that is experiencing growth has the same thing happening.

You went off the rails at "according to Zillow the value was..." Their home buying venture went bankrupt for a reason, Zillow AI is clueless. Income figures are lagging the trend: rich people are moving to Florida while poor people are moving out because it has become too expensive to buy homes. It sucks for a lot of people, but Florida real estate is following the same trend as in California 30 years ago. The Hawaii example is also similar, but they have a more limited supply and onerous regulations restricting supply. As you finally said at the end about Florida "it's the new normal."

Florida’s legislation passed some laws last year that very few people are talking about regarding the insurance issue.

Capital flight from around the world has changed the economic norms of many markets. Florida, Arizona and parts of Texas come to mind as the impact areas. Locales that have been renown as tourist destinations are now the destination of top end retirees and entrepreneurs. Get used to it.

I own two homes with one paid off and the other soon to be paid off with a $370/mo mortgage. My secrets: never do a 30y mort, put at least 20% down, be agnostic about which home you want and where, hack at the knees in negotiations until someone gives in. The price of all homes is what you pay for them, not what owners want to be paid. Last, avoid a RE agent. Be your own agent. Never buy until you've looked at at least 20 homes in an area. I also recommend considering forming an LLC so you can write off depreciation and interest expenses to offset your income taxes. Last never use your home as an atm, never refinance unless it's for a lower rate, never do a silent second and never do a heloc.
Literally not a single person got a good deal on a house in the last 3+ years. That was impossible. Negotiate? Thats funny. People couldn't even negotiate in a home inspection into the deal let alone a price cut. Home sales were more akin to auctions with the "asking price" really more like the opening bid. Your advice is good but impractical in recent years, but hopefully things are changing..

The owners were a divorced couple who had overpriced it and run themselves out of the peak season. I offered low, and stayed low, they finally accepted, and it's almost ready for renters. Went from pretty ugly to rather beautiful. I've looked at around 30 houses in that area to find this one. Be persistent. Find distressed sellers outside of peak season, and cosmetic issues are a huge plus. Scares away the normies, you can learn most anything on UA-cam now to fix that stuff up. Get a thorough inspection though, never use the realors inspector and two inspections is better than one. . Most builders do garbage work anyways, you can do great work if you put your heart into it. Most people are basically useless with their hands, and labor costs a fortune now, take advantage of that and do it yourself.
Sounds you haven’t made an offer on a property in 5 years
There has never been a time when the people in that time did not say to themselves, "Housing is expensive!"
In 2013 I bought a 20 year old 3, 000 sq. ft. home, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, bonus room, 3 car garage, and an enclosed pool on one acre for $335k. Gorgeous neighborhood in St. John's. I don't even know what it would go for now.
oh at least a mil
@@FirstnameLastname-oy3bc My curiosity got the best of me and I just looked on Zillow. High end $846k so pretty close! But we all know that's probably low nowadays. Crazy.
State Farm is only the more recent insurer to leave the Florida home insurance market. The exodus to Florida (for a variety of reasons...no state income tax, warm weather, originally inexpensive housing, etc.) has likely hit a peak, with many overpaying and finding impossibly rising home, auto insurance, traffic, politics, etc. It seems like something has to give and one could speculate that the most likely shift is a housing collapse. Insurance companies certainly aren't flexible. Politics are often rigid. Traffic is only going to get worse.
Prices are number of sales are holding up surprisingly well. I'm not seeing any bargains
I purchased my home in 2020 for $250000 with 2.35% APR. I was paying $1350 per month. By the next year my house was “worth” $480,000, the year after that 500,000 plus. Sounds great huh? But my taxes and insurance exploded at the same time. Year one mortgage payment $1350, year 2 payment $1658, year 3 $1978. That is when we were finally priced out and sold our house. So yes living in Florida is out of control.
Why all the hate for Florida? Just looked up my property in Lake Nona (Orlando)on Zillow and my property value continues to rise. I’m not a fan of Zillow as its values are based on algorithms, so I’m basing my info on a professional appraisal I had done. Sure, insurance costs are out of control but I’m hoping insurance reform is next up on DeSantis’s agenda. Florida remains an awesome place to live and I’m thrilled to call it home.
So, what should be done about YOUR INSURANCE COST???? Should I pay more to cover YOURS??????
Where have you been, DeSantis signed the new insurance bill into law in 2022, the problem has been taken care of.
The insurance industry got $1 Billion, policy holder's got nothing.
The industry has donated $10 Million to DeSantis since 2019, they wrote the code overhaul legislation.
The new code shortens the window to file a claim and makes it almost impossible for homeowners to sue their property insurance companies. It removes the right of homeowners to recover attorney’s fees, even in lawsuits they ultimately win. Insurance companies are now allowed to create new policies with mandatory binding arbitration agreements in exchange for a premium reduction
@@JackBean-rd4uoWhat makes you think I would expect YOU to do that? I’m referring to Torte reform. Meaning, I give up my right to sue (which is all the rage down here) except in catastrophic circumstances, and my premiums will be reduced. You can sign up for it or not, your choice. They have the option in PA. I know because I lived there. You pay your own damn insurance and I’ll do the same.
@@dr.williams5251 Interesing. Is this just for homeowners insurance? Was nothing done for auto policies?
FLA had the 2nd highest auto insurance rates in the nation in 2023.
The governor will deal with that when it becomes a problem,
for the auto insurance industry.
He's a busy man, enslaving pregnant women, fighting Mickey Mouse, banning books.
The excessive increase in home prices has led to much higher insurance rates.
Then the increased risk of more intense cyclonic storms and flooding have led many insurance companies to leave the market entirely while others are charging as much as 2% of the value of the house with a 5% or higher rider for flooding in cyclonic damage.
skyrocketing housing prices + low wages + mass exodus of insurance companies... I'm no expert, but that doesn't sound like a good sign
