No fire sale and it is far different than 2007/2008. WHY, because condo fees have doubled and tripled, insurance costs have gone through the roof, repairs and reserves on most buildings are out of control so no real estate agents are willing to say that if you think you need $1500 a month then double the money to meet all the other expenses so you actually need $3000. I had no mortgage and I was priced out of my condo just because of the huge increase in condo fees, insurance, repairs, and taxes, huge. Just moved to Europe at 73 years old since USA is out of control.

Can anyone tell me why there's no caps on costs that are mandatory... it would seem to me that if you are guaranteed an income for life, you don't need huge profits margins ....companies today seem to be able to run away with costs. What are they doing with their profits ....besides creating personal wealth....I just don't understand how this wealth exchange has become the American way and why.......

Thanks for your response. I love Europe ! All the best to you!!

SW Florida is a great place to rent for the winter months. Too hot and humid May through October. Bigger problem is the cost of homeownership. Florida has always been one of the most corrupt and mismanaged states all the way down to the smallest municipalities. You will pay a huge premium to own in Florida. All of which has been self inflicted by your legislators and politicians. One only has to look at the homeowners insurance and roofing fiasco to demonstrate this. Do your homework, rent first, before buying any property in Florida. Best advice anyone will ever give you about moving to FL

Maryland, Washington DC, northern Virginia, is always in my heart, I love MD, my beltway , I do miss my rush hour, I also make 3 times more per hour there but I was able to buy 3 acres property in FL, already pay off. I just love fishing and peace.

Florida is hurricane central and global warming is increasing temperatures every year. The majority of arctic is projected to melt within 20 years, and if all earth's ice melted, Florida will be underwater. Move somewhere north to avoid the heat and at least 250ft above sea level.

[@katherinehee855]

Global warming is an issue for us all. Thank you for your comment.

Silly stuff....dopey.

[@realestateexpress4899]

Why not exposed the real estate under belly like super high insurance and taxes, excessive heat, bugs, un-affordability. This is why you should NEVER trust realtors, they only tell you the good never the reality.

[@katherinehee855]

Hi thanks for your feedback, I have a pros and cons video that I talk about these things kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6fQhX-NfJpjj7Msi=OyXWyCCPonapsg7C I also always consult with my customers about insurance and recommend to get 3 insurance quotes prior to making any offers. In addition I share with them the current tax rates and we talk about the benefits of homestead which if you become a Florida resident you can apply for tax credits off of your assessed values. Interest rates have made in more difficult for first time buyers for sure, and our market has been stabilizing, and we are seeing price decreases and more motivated sellers.

Rent first before considering a permanent move to Florida

Florida is a good place to live if you have money lots of it jobs do not pay enough to live here never mind the hurricanes or superheat and humidity all the highest insurance in the nation order gun violence😂😂😂😂

[@katherinehee855]

Florida is a great place to live, I agree!! In Southwest Florida where I live, our biggest industry is in hospitality. Yes it's hot here in the summer and yes our insurance rates are very high due to the past hurricanes and the risk of more hurricanes . I still do love living here 🙂thank you for your response
