[@Duttonmuffins]

If anything, it's likely to get worse. Affordable housing will soon become unaffordable. Therefore, I advise taking action now because today's prices will seem like bargains tomorrow. Until the Fed takes more decisive action, I expect we will see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't just halfway rip the band-aid off.

[@Cottoncandyh]

I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

[@Brightenedrim]

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you?

The forced insurance ONLY protects the bank too BTW. It should be illegal.

[@user-nj2vv2xm4j]

So only you should be protected not the people who loaned you money for that house? Pay it off and you won't have to have insurance.

[@dustyflair]

@@user-nj2vv2xm4j no it doesnt protect your content or equity. Forced Insurance is PROTECTING the people who loaned you the money. That is what I said. Bit it should be illegal. For example I had $350,000 worth of insurance and was like $3500 a year. Ended up with forced insurance placed by the bank with their insurance co (old house had issue getting policy only LLOYDS OF LONDON could get a policy on my own for one year) that only covered the amount of the bal approx $70,000 and NO CONTENTS for $7000....That should be illegal. So we did pay off and now self insure...>FUGG UM!!!

[@paulhuval]

Pay off your house if you can and self insure yourself.

[@jasonard7227]

yea if you can afford it. most folk dont have that kinda money laying around to fix a roof or higher cost issues so you have to get loan or finance it..

My windstorm with citizens went from @ 2200 to 4900. SO luckily my mortgage is paid off I removed my windstorm and premium dropped to $1800. Praying for no wind damage! Lived here all my life and never made a windstorm claim! I'm fed up too!

[@randybuyers]

[@randiD123]

And chances are high that if you did have any wind damage, they would find a way to deny your claim, and STILL raise your rate! MADDENING

[@KeithShook]

@@randiD123 and don't forget the 2% hurricane deductible.

[@MichaelBlast]

We paid off the home earlier this year, I need to figure out how to tailor the new policy at the end of the year to bring the cost down cause you know these greedy companies are going to look for ways to raise your rates. Any tips

[@randybuyers]

@@MichaelBlast if you are handy and capable of fixing yourself, I would just go with liability insurance. Otherwise, if your roof is up to current code, you can get a wind mitigation done which likely will reduce the costs. Also, the age of your roof is a big factor. They prorate the age, so if it’s over 15 years old, I believe it pays to get it redone.

[@diaml]

My auto and home insurance increased by 100%. Their excuse was the increase in Kias and Hyundais being stolen (I don’t own either make) and the increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, causing many insurance companies to go bankrupt. Ummm, isn’t that part of being in the insurance business? Seems like poor business practices to me.

[@DannyWalker247]

I live in Central Florida and my home and car insurance have both gone up quite a bit.

Some insurance companies in Florida have packed up and left. Others have gone belly up. The insurance companies that remain have raised premiums to stay afloat. Now ask yourselves, why is insurance so expensive today whereas several years back insurance for cars and homes was stable and affordable. Reminds me of the dog barking up the wrong tree.

[@coloradobrad6779]

Ikr. It should have been anticipated based on data.

[@jrab227]

"Raise rates outta nowhere." The reality is Florida has had subsidized insurance via FEMA for decades, basically meaning federal taxpayers in every state are backstopping the insurance payouts. FEMA has had to be recapitalized three times in my lifetime now and it's obvious you need to pay more. Otherwise this "real estate" is worth $0 when the next supercat comes and there's no funds to fix those houses.

[@dustyflair]

I dont know anyonw who has ever gotten a loan free dime via FEMA.

[@beelzebrick]

@@dustyflair You weren't around Florida or Louisiana during bad hurricanes then

[@dustyflair]

@@beelzebrick ridden out several storms...Only FEMA offered referral for SBA loans....have you been around after a storm?

[@Tugela60]

​@@dustyflairIt has nothing to do with loans. FEMA underwrites most flood insurance in Florida, meaning that when you make a claim, it goes through your insurance company, but most of the money being paid actually comes from FEMA. FEMA is funded by the federal budget, in other words tax payers across the country are subsidising Florida homeowners. There is a limit to how much can be underwritten however, so as claims skyrocket past that limit the insurance companies have to pass the cost on to consumers, and that is why premiums have risen sharply. If the money does not come from US taxpayers, it has to come from someone else, and that someone else is you. Just be grateful you don't have to pay the real cost, because that would be much more than it is now.

[@SteveAaroe]

Facts 💯

[@DannyWalker247]

My insurance premium has doubled in the last three years. I feel for people buying new homes in Florida that are not educated as to how things work here. When they get hit with that tax bill they are in shock and many will not be able to stay in their home.

[@realassetsteam]

I had a couple of clients move from.Florida to Indiana already this year because of this All on fixed incomes

[@supremetalentco]

If you can, pay it off and put what would have beed the premium in the bank every month for emergencies. After a few years you will be ahead.

[@thebeachmann]

Sold on Saint George Island this year. Insurance and tax increases went up more than $1200/month over the past 2 yrs. I had citizens and insurance was $10k/yr for a $650,000 house. That doesn't include flood insurance through Wright! No end in sight on increases either. Fully owned and self insured in the way to go but so few can do that!

[@Patrick-it8nk]

I've got no doubt our politicians know what's going on, but the real question is does it matter to them? I also hadn't thought of the insurance angle for folk moving in from out of state. I have met and talked to something like a dozen people who were moving out of state with the reason vaguely boiling down to them thinking it didn't snow, you were basically right next to vacation spots aaaaaaaaaaand the cost of living was (believed to be) lower.

[@AceRamone]

I live near a park and there are more and more people sleeping in their cars overnight there. They have jobs and go to work, but it doesn’t pay enough for housing. As for myself, I am on SSI and my check went up $43 but since my income increased, they decreased my food stamps by $13. My insurance for house and car was 150 a month now it jumped to 200 a month which may not sound like much but on my budget it is a lot. My car needs $2000 worth of repairs. Without it I won’t be able to get to the doctor or the grocery store. Although I qualify for government housing, there is none available because the demand is so great. Even the waiting list are closed.

[@DefensorFortis]

Also I had a roof issue where the insurance company only wanted to pay for 32 shingles after hail damage but according to the fine contract hail damage is 100% replacement, so I had to get a public adjuster and attorney involved. In the meantime I have mortgage company forced insurance.

[@robertlaird6746]

I paid cash for my house at the bottom of the last housing crash for 1/3rd of land value and all of the improvements came for free. The house was unfinished and I've been fixing it up ever since by myself on the nights and weekends. I had insurance but it's very difficult to get insurance on an unfinished home and the policy doesn't cover much at all. They can also not cover you by their terms in the small print so I decided to not have it.

[@pablo81778]

These insurance and property tax increases in 2024 will be how ARMs affected the real estate market back on 06, 07 that led to that last crash. Here we go again. Plus, we also, unlike the last crash, have non housing inflation.

[@tachikaze222]

inflation ran pretty hot during the 2003-2006 bubble. Plus people were cashing out trillions of equity then which is why the 2007-2009 hit the economy so hard (the "Home ATM" refi stealth stimulus went away in 2007.).

[@christianflierl8570]

Mine didn't go up at all. In fact, it hasn't increased in over 20 years! I haven't had homeowners insurance in decades and during that time, I never had anything happen that would have qualified as an insurable claim.

[@Tech2goit]

Housing market artificially inflated. There is a video on a AA rated Appraiser appraised a home and assessed the value at $300,000.00 and the comp was $700,000.00. The appraiser sent his appraised documents to the state gov tax people and they agreed with his appraisal at $300,000.00.

[@bryanisms2732]

Yep. Nothing makes me more livid than dealing with insurance. My home insurance (Edison) told me to replace my roof, and also by the way we are dropping you if you don't remove those 4 solar panels I have in my backyard SEPARATE FROM THE ROOF AND HOUSE. What the Foxtrot!? They said they will only insure if I have those 4 panels installed on my roof by an "approved" installer. Oh... I see.. you get your cut as well. They would rather insure a new roof with 50 more holes in it than to allow me to have 4 freaking solar panels in my yard.

[@JeffreyDRein]

Insurance doesn't cover cost of repairs, which it claims to, it cover's the mortgagable value.... Regardless of what your mortgage is... Ie. you purchased home for $100k in 2010, 20% down, but now the house is $700 but you owe only $50k -you are insuring the bank's potential lending... Subsidizing the banks... Thats why Florida law requires every insurance indemnity claim check to list and require sign off of the bank mortgage

Some insurance carriers would not quote us because our home is too old. Built in 2001.

[@garymcelhaney1560]

We used to live in Florida and would like to come back but there’s no way I can pay those insurance premiums

[@brendonwilliams4050]

These rates are not "increased out of nowhere" and yes, because house insurance covers replacement cost if the value of your home goes up, insurance has to increase so that they can cover replacement cost. That's how insurance works. Its a shared risk pool, if some people have more claims at a greater expense your insurance increases premiums so that they can pay out and still stay solvent.

[@DeeDee-dl7sl]

Also check if you are in sink hole area!

[@chrismaurer8622]

This is not in defense of bad actions, just looking at the math. If the previous decent insurance companies had a business model where 10,000 homes paid into a pool to cover 1000 legitimate problems. When self insured properties quickly become significant in number, either institutions or resident funded, then the pool of money to cover problems becomes too small too quickly. At 45% institutional ownership, the revenue pool drops 45%. Yes, there are fewer homes to cover, but the model that was started had a longer time plan, now numerically it can not sustain the potential loss. The business models need to be updated and recent large claims heavily influence the models exponential calculations. (more recent has a heavier weighting)

[@WendyHardy-wo6gl]

And when they print more then inflation goes up It's won't save homes when people have to choose between eating or mortgage!

[@randycallow3736]

The name you are looking for is David Altmaier..he is the guy on his knees w the insurance company in his mouth. The reason that Florida and other states are in an insurance crisis is that elected officials just don't do the job they are hiring for!! There should be legislation that only allows price increases that are regulated.. consumers should not be on some crazy rollercoaster.. consumers should have protection on being cancelled.. insurance companies should be able to leave a market they want, but they should have to stay for a year at a time.. should not be able to leave consumers stranded.. that is why you have a governor and insurance commissioner so that companies can't trample the customer base.. look at stock prices and company forecasts.. insurance companies are sitting pretty and it's the consumer who is getting screwed while your government, your insurance commissioner cheers on insurance companies while they have you bent over

I used to support him more, but when he tried to campaign for president, that urked me bigtime. When i say political i mean those same corps buying up 40% of the market share. They subscribe to WEF and want to make things harder on Desantis. Since everybody is leaving in droves elsewhere, coming here. Its all BS. Trust your gut when it comes to real estate. Oh and since we are talking about investors lets give Desantis a really hard time here. So, im not much for "Gov't regulation" federally/state, however, since we were technically in a state of emergency for most of the pandemic. I feel like he could have taken better steps to assure us that no more than a strategic amount of the market share, could be purchased by investors. Compromise for both sides but at least some sort of "cap". Thats completely on him, never had the ball in his hands to be dropped.

I keep getting distracted by his pronunciation of “insurance.” IN-sur-ance. So weird. When I hear people pronounce it that way, I also hear them correctly pronounce “in-SURE.” I wonder if they all come from a certain area of the country where someone started mispronouncing “in-SUR-ance,” and it just kind of stuck.

The condo market is even worse. I've heard stories of $200K assessments on units. When it comes to these investment funds buying up houses, I think they're going to fail. They've paid to much for these places, cant get the yield on the cash they want and they're either going to sell or default. Plus its my opinion that interest rates are not going to go down. I think they're going to go up. Inflation isn't done yet. To stop inflation, interest rates will need to rise. These investment first are going to make enough money safely in US bonds where they won't need to chase yields with risks like housing.

They are running a lot of you out of the state or home ownership to rent from probably the same investment groups

Really not feeling it for you. Home values double, so do replacement costs, so does insurance. You've enjoyed the home equity gains, but don't want to pay the associated costs with those gains so it's pretty hard to sympathize. Living in a state that guarantees exposure to high risk of sustaining costly damage doesn't help. Your insurance is being subsidized by the state but you're complaining that the subsidy isn't enough. Don't like it? Sell your house and move somewhere cheaper.

[@tachikaze222]

most of the valuation rise was due to rising location value due to the temporary low rates boosting "affordability". insurance *should* be based on damage repair costs (which have also gone up, but not as much). Theoretically higher home insurance costs will be baked into the price, since for most people PITI limits how much they can bid on a house.

I pay now over 25k on 3 homes in Florida per year. These are not luxury properties. They are 3/2 homes.

[@fandam801]

8 to 9k per home sounds about right for Florida, you’re actually under the average.
