Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

I'm a native New Yorker and grew up in Brooklyn the first part of my childhood. My parents moved to Florida in the late 70's to escape the cold winters of NY. Back then it was super affordable to live in Miami. They bought a modest 3 bedroom, 2 bath home for $55,000 in a community where the homes were built in the 1950's. Those homes were built like tanks. Property taxes were low, homeowners insurance was very affordable and the cost of living was much lower. I returned to NY in the mid 80's to go to college in NYC and I've been living here ever since. I had planned on going back to Miami at some point since my family was still living there. But I met my husband and I remained in NY and built my career here. My parents have since passed away and my brother and I inherited their home. My brother wants to stay with the house since there is no mortgage and he needs a place to live. Unfortunately, he can only afford fire and liability insurance because hurricane insurance is too expensive. And even without hurricane insurance, the other policies are still expensive. Also, property taxes have gone up but it's cheaper for my brother to stay in our parent's home than to pay rent. I love Florida and go down often because of my brother and I still have a lot of relatives and friends down there. But it's becoming increasingly difficult for them to live there with the high cost of living especially since a lot of my family have lived there for 40 plus years. A lot of them are now headed to their retirement years and will be forced to sell their homes they've had for decades and move out of state. I already have relatives that have moved to other states where the cost of living is a lot less expensive. I know that the cost of living is going up everywhere but it's sad that Florida has come to this. I have many special memories of growing up there during the latter part of my childhood. Unfortunately, south Florida, like many other large cities in the country are becoming places only the wealthy can afford to live. It's hard for those on a fixed income. Florida is a beautiful state. But my heart goes out to those that will no longer be able to afford to live there and will have to sell their homes after years of ownership.

Yeah this is dead on the reason the insurance rates in Florida are 3x anywhere else in the country. For years people came to my front door pitching the 'roof scam'. They would claim the roof was 'storm damaged' to the insurer then threaten to suit if the insurance company didn't pay something. Florida had 79% of all home owners insurance lawsuits in the country. The politicians didn't stop it because some people were making BIG MONEY! The insurance companies responded by raising and raising the rates. The legislatures finally plugged the hole but too late, many companies have left the state and the ones still here want you to replace your roof every 10 years (my last roof lasted 25). Now because a condo building collapsed, new laws are resulting in 6-figure bills for some condo owners. Condos are flooding the market. I know two families that moved to other states. I am waiting for the bottom to fall out of home sales here. I don't see how it can't.

And (1) there is really no reason for these high (corporate) insurance premiums other than greed, and (2) when tragedy strikes, they don't pay out or off. After the last big storm in my area, a woman came to my home asking if my insurance company had refused to pay out for any storm damage. A group of home owners were getting their facts and figures together to start a class action against this/these insurance companies who were doing a Rainmaker scam on their subscribers. This only goes to show (1) insurance companies are predatory scammers in the habit of selling the ILLUSION of protection, because when the time comes, they have no intentions of holding up their end of things, and (2) that this scenario is a complete failure of the governor's office that is doing nothing to stop these predatory practices because he is in on it by being on their side and giving them safe harbor. He, like all (R) in the state need to go, and be replaced by impartial Independents who will use their office to give more than lip-service to protecting the people from all of these predatory practices. This includes the real estate industry, the insurance industry, and the banking industry. But this is being done intentionally. The market manipulations up and down are causing people to be evicted and the banks to end up with the land, the house, and the home owner's equity. The plan is to convert all housing across the whole country to renters only, effectively making We, the People, slaves; debt slaves in petpetuity to the corporate New World Order. That's the plan.

It comes down to simple math. In my case, I own properties in FLA and MA. Auto and homeowners insurance FLA vs MA, FLA cost about 5k year more than MA. Which means that I can have an income of 110k in MA and break even paying MA state tax. Which in MA, we have better schools and services than FLA. Now in Miami Dade, the median income is 72k. In my MA zip code, the median income is 105k. I hate to break it to you that MA is cheaper than FLA if you can find a place to leave. If Miami and Boston have the same real estate prices, Boston wins. So in FLA condo fees and HOA fees are now being funding at the correct rate. The dog has it's day. Now you have northeast replacement costs in FLA with high weather risk so that bill is huge. Then you have roofing fraud, and Morgan and Morgan telling you to get an attorney for everything, We not only pay for the insurance premiums but surcharge for the attorneys of shore yachts. Then there is property tax. FLA counties love these high real estate prices for there tax revenue. The new guy pays, the long term residents homestead their homes and pay next to nothing compared to the new guy that just bought. At least in MA, the guy that just bought his house across the street from you pays the same for the same home and lot size as the new guy. So the FLA property tax base is uneven to fund the schools and services. So FLA counties live on the new development drug from the developers to keep the money coming. If it was not for the weather, FLA would be just another poor, struggling, and unsophisticated state like AR and MS with no real reason to move there.

Well today if you're going to mandate all this expensive construction and you're going to have all these expensive things included in your home then your insurance costs have to cover what it's going to cost to replace all those things.

[@TCJC7296]

Yes!! The proof is in the pudding. I sold a house in Fort Lauderdale for 1.8M in 2021 that I paid 300 for (plus 250 reno) in 2012. It was the last foreclosure I bought. I scraped together the money. The buyer in 2021 was from NYC and turned it into an airbnb. It went bust in 2.5 years as every other house became one. It’s about to close to a new buyer for 1.2M next week. How do I know?

Excellent and well executed in factual stats. I. am a retired fellow from the UK, living in the Caribbean and I am always shocked when I hear the tax people have to pay for owning a property, EVERY YEAR. I appreciate that tax is a local tax for town hall services, police, streets, education and so on, but in the UK an average tax (Housing Rates) for homes is £2,161. The average buildings only policy was £284 annual charge for 2024. A lot of areas struggle with flooding, but we do not get the same extreme weather as the southern region of the USA. Your housing taxation is robbery by another name and I am suspicious the insurance actuaries who make the calculations for their risks need investigating. Alternatively, if your house is not made from cement blocks or bricks, as in the UK, perhaps this is the real reason for extreme insurance rates, and you are carrying for the poor fabrication of home construction across the state. (My background was providing automation for banking, finance and insurance sectors).

Understand your points, and agree with most of them but one correction: We have a local program called “Save Our Homes” where people who homestead are capped at a max of 3% increase per year in property taxes.

It's definitely alarming to hear about a default cycle, especially in the context of the housing market. Defaults can lead to foreclosures, and that has a cascading effect on the overall real estate landscape.

[@debroahmorrow5919]

While it's concerning, it's important to look at the broader economic context. A default cycle doesn't necessarily mean the housing market is completely finished; it might signal challenges, but markets are dynamic, and they can recover.

Yes, that's a possibility. An increase in foreclosures can lead to an oversupply of homes in the market, putting downward pressure on prices. It's the basic principle of supply and demand.

In California, insurance companies have stopped writing home policies in fire areas. Now, that might create an image of houses surrounded by pine trees in a mountain community. Those were the first targeted areas, but now the companies have lowered the bar to areas that were previously desert with nothing growing except grass and currently have no trees next to houses that were built later. I sold my vacation house this year that had a grandfathered home owners policy that cost $1,100 per year. The new owner had to buy from the state-funded insurance plan and pay $1,000 PER MONTH! What amazed me was because of the disclosed laws in California, he was made aware of the insurance situation he was buying into.
