Newsflash: $570,000 to $900,000 is not affordable for most people. Due to weather events, property insurance is very expensive. With so many moving to Florida, Florida is losing its charm; getting more expensive; and becoming like everywhere else. Expect to wait in line in many places. Traffic is bad especially with many tourists unfamiliar with where they are going. You will probably need lots of sunscreen every day; and lots of bug spray. There are lots of homeless people in Florida and the homeless population is increasing due to inflation, etc. As for jobs, many jobs do not pay well; so people have to have extra jobs or work long hours. Florida is beautiful and a great place to visit for many. If you choose to move, you must be prepared; and able to afford it.

Juan again you’ve released such an informative video! I flew into iSarasota from suburban Chicago to speak at an engagement in May of 2023. I was completely and utterly blown over by the beauty that IS Sarasota! That city, along with St Petersburg(which I visited)has been on my radar every since!

You're 100% right about its natural beauty. And thank you for the kind words.

My husband and I vacationed in Sarasota about 20 years ago. We had lobster dinners for $7 per person. Average home prices were $100,000-$200,000s; sometimes less. Sarasota was actually affordable.

Hey Juan, I really appreciate your videos! I am looking to go study in Florida and there aren't many channels talking about the outside of campus lifestyle, so do you plan to do one sometime? Since you mostly talk about that, but for families and working professionals.

In all fairness, do you think me a 26 y/o maintenance painter single income could even afford living in Tampa or Florida in general? I would like a decent house with a carport/garage. Nothing too fancy. I asked you before but this still comes back in my mind. I live in The Netherlands and thinking about this move every day because just like you im pretty sick of the fairly cold weather. And the ocean area's in Florida look so good! (only seen on internet) Never been to Florida im afraid.

Yes. I'm a believer that you can make it anywhere if you're willing to work and hustle. You can still find homes under $300k if you're willing to put in some elbow grease.

Hello. I've lived in Sarasota since I was 12 years old. Fort Myers is about an hour south of here (traveling on I-75) and Naples is two hours south of Sarasota. Ft. Myers is a bit more "old Florida" than Sarasota. Naples is nice, but makes Sarasota look inexpensive by comparison.

I mean, doesn’t it matter where you move from? We’re relocating to this area within the next 1-2 months and the housing cost (rent or buy) doesn’t even compare to where we’re coming from.

Lived in Sarasota for over a decade in the early 2000's. The most nosey people in the world. Very few people are capable of minding their business. Especially the Boomers. I visit often because I still have family here and it's still the same. The narrative is true and when it's not nosey 80 year olds it's drunk millennials.

Don't worry buddy, give it a year or so and your $875k home are going to be nearly halved. 1) tech is dying nationwide, 2) back to office mandates are calling everyone back, 3) insurance hikes ain't temporary, 4) inventories are building and building and building, and finally 5) The Fed ain't coming to save you. You're heading back to 2019 prices quicker than you think.
@brianadams88323 ай бұрын
1) dying. Work in the industry. Gonna need more than that ... 2) We will never have everyone back in the offices like they were. Hybrid is a minimum. You're a fool if you think younger folks are giving up their flexibility. 3) Insurance is actually coming back down because companies are coming back into the state. More to come here. The prices have come down little thus far ... 4) Another vague pithy comment. Tampa/St. Pete doesn't have an inventory problem ...
