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.

[@berniceburgos-]

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 closed on selling our second home in Charlotte County last week. The intent was to carry it for 5 years until we retire......but with everything going up (insurance, HOA, property taxes, energy) and the threat of our equity going down, the calculus to hold didn't make sense anymore. We didn't take a loss thankfully. Wishing all prospective sellers and buyers the best of luck.

I bought my house in Florida five years ago. It's a 1979 fixer upper in a fabulous location. I didn't want to buy a shoddy flip. I wanted to slowly renocate it with quality materials. My big mistake was assuming that prices for materials wouldn't skyrocket. Of course, insurance prices will increase because everything costs twice what it did before c0vid. Everything in life is a choice. I have no plans to move. Every location has its issues. I live in an area where people travel long distances just to vacation for a week or two.

As a Florida resident of many years, I can tell you that I've seen this ebb and flow in home prices for decades. If you look at history, it has occurred since Florida was founded. I really don’t feel sorry for the current crop of people who bought high and now are forced to sell low. Most of them were outstaters speculating on the market because their own markets (New York, LA, Chicago, etc.) are even more overpriced. As far as insurance is concerned, this is a nationwide issue. I know, I owned houses in Texas and Maryland. It is very simple, the more a house costs, the more it will cost to replace it in case of major damage to the home.

One more thing: If you're going to live in Florida, DO NOT LIVE ON THE COAST! Not only is it incredibly expensive, but your hurricane risk means you could lose everything. Stay inland where it is much hotter AND safer. The chance of Orlando getting hit by a Cat 5 hurricane is near ZERO. A Cat 5 on the coast will be a Cat 3 by the time it moves inland and even a direct hit will be around 115mph Max winds. Your home will survive! You might need new shingles, but that's it.
