I like your advice. Everyone has their own situation, but we had to move to a larger home back in the late 70s when interest rates were double digit. We didn't like it, but we ended up refinancing a few years later and the bottom line was....we realized a huge increase in home value. The law of "supply and demand" held true for us so that when rates did come down, the house value went way up. Today, we don't worry about interest rates because ... well, for one thing, they will always go up and down ... and for another ... and this is just our opinion ... but if we were to wait it out, then the house will just cost more and that will more than offset any savings. Our opinion is .... buy when one needs to and just refinance later if need be. Thanks for the video.

@@GregHuelsman Well said, Greg! I remember my parents had to move from Yorktown, VA to Mechanicsville, VA back in the early ‘80’s bc my dad got a promotion. The rates were well over 13%😳, but life goes on, right?? My first house in 1989 was 9.5% rate & we thought we hit the jackpot 😂 Historically, rates are low…but we all got comfortable with super low rates & now, 7% seems excessive. Couple that with higher home costs & it is 🤯. But agreed, the longer we wait to just live our lives, the higher the prices will go up. Stop living in limbo & just do what you gotta do🤗

What about flood insurance? I heard that prices are around $12k to$14k per year !!!
@HomeswithNewman 3 ай бұрын
Hello! I’m sure some houses on the actual coast or waterways may have crazy high flood policies…but most homes inland do not. These are mostly X flood zone properties that don’t require flood insurance policies, but it’s always optional to have a flood policy anyway just for peace of mind. A flood policy in an X or AE zone would cost any from $600-$1300 per year depending on size of lot, home, elevation, age of home & whether or not you chose the FEMA NFIP type or a private insurance provider. So no, the huge $12k or $14 premiums you hear about are not for most properties away from the coast or Rivers/waterways.

Real estate agents and the system are a MASSIVE RIPOFF, there should be a set cost to sell a house, If I have a house that Im selling for 400K where the 6% ripoff scam kicks in and takes 24K of MY money/equity. Versus a house that I might sell for 1 million....where the 6% ripoff then provides a $60,000 loss of MY money/equity. Please tell me how an agent does more paperwork between the two houses for a differences of $36,000 - there is no way in hell $36,000 more is required to sell the 1 million dollar home. It's such a massive ripoff of MY EQUITY that I EARNED..... There should be a set fee to sell a house no matter the cost, the paperwork is the same, title is the same paperwork. Now let's talk about the buyers agent, NO WAY IN HELL I SHOULD PAY THAT as a seller...It is not my choice who you selected, why should they get 3% of MY MONEY.

We have been interested in the Oakfield lakes community in Parrish; however, it appears to be in or right next to evacuation zones B and D. I’m not sure if we are looking at the map right, but does it sound accurate? And if so, is there a chance this will updated once the community is all built up? That’s a huge downside and will definitely cause us to no longer consider it.
@HomeswithNewman 3 ай бұрын
Hello Missoliya! It appears that those homes are in evacuation zone D; which did not get called during this last storm Milton or any others leading up. These homes are in flood zone X meaning you are not required by your mortgage holder to carry a flood insurance policy; but you can always carry one as an option. If in zone D, an order to evacuate might rest on when a particular home was built. Homes built on or after March 2012 are required to be built to sustain 150mph winds Homes built between March 2002 and March 2012 were required to be built to sustain 130mph winds Homes built before March 2002 were built to sustain 110mph winds on the coast and as low as 90mph in places like Duette. Since these homes will all fall under the 150mph wind code, these homes would likely not get evacuated for wind purposes.

Which communities or area's have lost all ability to get a mortgage, (most likely due to no ability to get insurance on the homes now and are only available to cash buyers?)
@HomeswithNewman 4 ай бұрын
Great Question flolou! Homes that are not currently going to be able to get insurance or mortgages will be those that sustained significant damage & in need of significant repair/remediation. Likely more homes near the coast that had severe flooding and/or wind damage. There's what's known as the 50% rule from FEMA which means: The FEMA 50% rule is a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulation that limits property improvements to under 50% of a property’s market value before imposing additional requirements on the owner for standards of improving the property. This rule applies to all properties located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). In the event that the damage to the structure is less than 50% of the market value, then an owner can make all of their desired repairs as planned. If the cost exceeds 50% of the market value, the structure is deemed to have substantial damage, and an owner may be required to ensure that the entire structure is updated as needed to meet current flood regulations. For homes that need new roofs, new pool cages, etc...those are still eligible for mortgages & insurance, as long as the repairs are completed, of course. Most communities will still have homes that are eligible for mortgages & insurance as long as any storm damage repairs/replacements have been completed. For sellers that decide to 'walk away,' those homes will have to go through a process of foreclosure or short sale (if applicable) and may be available to cash buyers who want to pay all the fun money to fix them up & meet new code standards 😉or available as REO's in auctions or online sales. There may be a short moratorium on lending & insurance policy binding until these companies get their disaster reports completed, but for the most part buying & selling will continue as normal.

@@kimberlyreed376 hi Kimberly. I’m very clear on my channel that Parrish is much different than Sarasota in regards to the impacts of storms, flooding, traffic, etc. And I didn’t say we had to evacuate in Parrish & often share about how we chose Parrish bc it’s more inland. I also often share that the traffic that many people complain about in Parrish is nothing in comparison to many other states or Sarasota or Bradenton…and yet the traffic everywhere is often a topic of conversation on our many Parrish FB community pages. As far as weird bugs are concerned, I’m glad you haven’t encountered any…perhaps bc you’ve been in FL longer than those of us who came from other states. So, in comparison to other states, many people find there are more bug species than they’ve encountered otherwise. And as for alligators…we love the gators that live in the pond behind our house…I even have a video dedicated to alligators in FL bc the gator issue is the TOP question I’m asked by people who wish to move here. And I talk regularly about the tax amounts in Parrish. It’s all relative to from where people are coming. Not one single person has taken this video as a slam to Parrish & I do apologize if you felt otherwise as that was not my intention at all. I love living in Parrish & my channel reflects that.

Yes, different in each state. Of course, Floridians operate A/C basically the entire year except for the few weeks we get ‘cold’ here😉. I say ‘cold’ bc we moved to FL from CO…so cold has a very different definition there!😂 As mandated by Florida Statute Chapter 489, those with an HVAC contractor’s license must secure appropriate permits before initiating any work on AC systems-be it installation, removal or replacement. And since it’s such a HUGE component to home sales here, buyers expect a properly permitted hvac system. Now… if the sellers in my video were not moving, it would make sense to run those 2 units until they die…then replace…but, they are selling.

@HomeswithNewman 4 ай бұрын
Hi Sandy! I hear ya! Insurance has been a HUGE topic for many years here. Many companies said, "See ya..." but many companies have also entered the FL market the past 2 years. I already made a video about the insurance issue here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmrVo52bjsSrgdU and to give you an update example: My home is 10 years old. When it was 8 years old, we had to get a new roof due to Hurricane Ian... 😥. At the time, we had Progressive for homeowner's. Our annual premium was $2,000 for a 2500 sq.ft. home with a pool. After the new roof, our premium went up to $2200...which was pretty much in line with how home values had increased, so we didn't think too much about it. By year 9, we heard that Progressive was leaving the state, but keeping some of it's policies in place...ours was one of them...but it went up to $2860 annually. Again...I didn't pay much attention to it until my neighbor, who has the exact floorplan & pool as me (but no new roof)...told us he was paying $2,100. I called around, got some quotes & ended up with AAA (we had used them when we lived in CO) and even increased our policy limits, added some extra coverages we hadn't had before...and now our annual cost is $1650 (that's because we have a new roof)....so...just an example of what can be available to other owners or buyers of resale homes if the owners have maintained it well, don't have roofs over 12 years old, etc. We ALSO got a lower cost on my car insurance and were able to bundle...which is not as common in FL as it is in other states. Anyway...sorry for the long novel🤣, but not every person is paying outrageous insurance premiums. Really depends on the house, it's condition, can it pass a 4 pt & wind mitigation inspection, credit of person applying, etc...These are all subjects I discuss with my buyers (and sellers) before they fall in love with a house because there's no need to love a house if it won't love you back😂; meaning the premiums are going to be too high!
