Important Things to Consider Before Moving to Florida in 2023

[@foryou-ft8vf]

I was born and raised in FL but have lived other parts of the Country and I can say the "illusion" as you say is for real. I have seen many people move after a few years of the hot and HUMID summers. I don't think people understand it is not like the "hot" summers of other areas of the Country, it is very hot AND humid both DAY AND EVEN AT NIGHT and for many months. The beaches are beautiful but just like anything, the charm fades after a couple of years and especially during the summer, you just do NOT go! Also the red tide almost every year is depressing and seems to go on for longer periods of time. Thank you for bringing up things many people do not think of. Not trying to knock FL but it is nice to hear someone be realistic about living there.

I have been living in Florida from July. Ian was very eye opening. I am heading back north only because the pay scale is so low here. I lost my remote job after the hurricane. The housing prices are very high at this time. I am very disappointed.

Wages are extremely depressed due to the saturation of illegals in the workforce. It drags all industries down even if an illegal couldn't work your industry.

Been in FL 33 yrs, part of its appeal is affordability. I'm astonished how expensive it's become and to be honest it's quite boring and restaurants are poor quality, with same crap, pizza, burgers, chicken tenders and flatbread are on almost all menus. Weather is nice in winter, but most of summer you're indoors. It's very transient and lacks community. Oh and don't get me started with this freedom crap.

Lived in ft myers 17 years. Check the dew point, not the temperature for 8 months of the year. Dew point is true indicator for the oppressive heat. Moved back north due to low pay, ungodly dew point, crime and high homeowners insurance.

[@annmarierodriguez8332]

I’ve lived here for 18 years. Moved here just a few months after vacationing. My husband received a great job offer and “poof” we bought a house and moved. If I was thinking about going it now….I wouldn’t do it! The horsing market is too high, salaries are not commensurate with the demands. I’m almost at retirement age, the Caribbean is looking pretty good right now!

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

I've lived in Florida for about 12 years. I moved here because my wife wanted to be near family in Jacksonville and considering her only other family (besides us) is in the Philippines, I thought this was a reasonable request. I know Jax is kinda the worse place to move, but we picked a great area and we loved it. Working in Jax is another story. Eventually, I actually landed a great job with Disney, so we relocated down to Orlando. Thankfully, my wife had family here too and Jax is "only" 3 hours away by car - so we still visit a few times a year. After 9 years, I no longer work for Disney (thanks Covid) - but I have a better job working 100% remote - which is the dream. Now, we are considering our options since we can literally live anywhere.

[@Megans358]

There’s a huge difference between FL and CA. Biggest is amount of land available and new construction. There’s a record number of new construction and permits right now. Compile that with an overwhelming amount of undeveloped farm land in central and northern FL with jobs that pay less than northern states. South FL is different because of lack of available land but central and North are due for some major price drops.

[@TroyFunkBroker]

Good insight - thanks for sharing

[@moretoliving2236]

I am glad that you have raised a very important point that people do not consider when moving to florida... BECOMING A FREE HOTEL and FREE UBER to friends and relatives. At first its once a year. Then its twice a year. Then its 4 times a year. Before you know it they are here every other month. And then... They want to snowbird at YOUR PLACE. This past year we just had.... I drove my visiting family within Florida for 2,800 miles who were here in January, February, April, October, December. Would have been during summer too if not for the fact that my AC died. I love my family very much but this is the "reality" of living here in Florida. I remember when I moved to Florida for work in 2007, I had a huge fight with my mom and we did not speak for 6 weeks. She started advertising my tiny little 1 bedroom apartment (at the time) to her friends up north saying "ohh yeah come down, you can stay at his place and he will "show you around". You have no idea how many people break up family ties for these very reasons. People can come to Florida on own, rent a car, hotel, food etc etc... and those vacations cost thousands of dollars. Or they can just "come to visit". And people that move here do this out of sincerity... you know... come here... feel free to visit any time... we will be so happy to see you... and that rhetoric changes in a new york minute once "they keep coming". I laughed with my mom the other week when they were here. She and dad fell asleep in the car when I was driving from Vero Beach to central Florida (2.5 hours) and she was like... it did not feel like that far of a drive.... then she saw the look on my face and how ridiculously hilarious her statement was in light of sleeping entire time. Yeah get ready to be Uber AirBnB.....

[@moretoliving2236]

@@karinaoliveira3988 It is a cycle. If they have small kids... there is obvious trips to disney, universal, sea world and all that orlando stuff. Then there are mandatory trips to the keys. Then its all about going to the beach routine. Then you try and take them somewhere untraditional like crystal clear springs, clear see through rivers, manatees... meh let's hit the beach. AND THEN Their friends begin moving to FL so it becomes about "we need to go and visit them". That is the general life cycle for most. Problem is that when people come from NJ, NY, PA (which most people who move to florida come from there)... they have no idea that in 2 hours of driving you can't cross 4 state lines.... you are just 2 hours into your 12 hour drive wherever. Florida is 7 times larger than NJ for example.

We now prefer to retire somewhere were all political views are welcomed. No one wants added stress to their lives especially when you are in retirement mode. It's a beautiful state and we have lovely friends living there. ❤️

I grew up in Tarpon Springs Florida moved to Indiana in 1996 when I was 16. I loved the heat my underground pool and the ocean. None of it got old. I will move back sometime not sure when. I would rather live there and not work to be honest since there’s so much to do down there. I remember skipping school at Tarpon high school to go to Fred Howard beach lol! I think living there was very fun but living the normal school/work life I would find it hard to concentrate on real life! Florida is a vacation spot, or best for retired folks. We go every year to Florida matter of fact my parents planned their Longboat Key 3 week trip in June but I think they might cancel this summer due to Red Tide that’s happening now. We will see.

I thought seriously about buying here and was shocked at all the add on costs to acquire property; property values have gone up 80% in the past five years, taxes for new home buyers are much higher than for existing homeowners, you have to have flood insurance even if you are not in a flood zone. I think I am too late by at last 2 years, what with high interest rates. Traffic is an issue and setting aside the snowbird influx i just think the transposition infrastructure might not ever get up to snuff. My place would be a vacation place and since another bubble could come along, I will stick with 2-3 month rentals. Not cheap but makes far more sense, UNLESS I would want to live there permanently. Given the overall poor climate, the fact it is a red state (I get tired of seeing signs that say “Fuck Joe Biden” which yes, are plastered in the front yards of people), I would not want to live year round. If you buy a place with low taxes, just wait until you get YOUR bill.

Unfortunately rising cost is also happening up north, esp. NY. Not just the city either. Upstate NY has increased taxes tremendously & the value is not always worth it. Couple that in with just everyday cost of living here- with higher wages come a higher tax bracket- it can even out. Florida isn’t too different expense wise. Now weather is another story, but when you live with -negative degree real feels, snow, extreme pollution, AND hurricanes (Sandy) all in the same state, you can understand why some ppl will deal w extreme heat/humidity for a few months out the year.

[@cmbooks2000]

So many people mention the weather as their top reason to move to Florida. There are so many beautiful places with beautiful weather that don't have all the negatives that the state of Florida does. We have vacationed all over the state and never once did I consider moving there. It's hot and sticky and nasty and swampy. The wildlife isn't a bad thing imo, but that there is such an income disparity is ridiculous. It's clear that the the majority of the citizens of the state are not only impoverished but are unfairly treated by the justice system. The healthcare system is overburdened and substandard. Unless you have money for private, preferably out of state schools, your children would be better served to get a laptop and stay home googling. Florida. No.

(no I dont vote blue) I hear rent is more expensive than buying in Florida but we dont know the area well w wanted to rent to buy. Is that possible?

[@Sirach144]

I just bought a place in Jax FL today and it’s cheaper than my rent

[@rochellet1333]

Florida gets very hot. Rent is very high and salaries dont keep up with high cost of living.
