Florida Home Sales Plunge As Sunshine State Becomes Less Desirable

[Hollie]

Sales plunged cause everyone knows interested rates are going down, so why buy now.

Why buy in Florida when routine hurricanes make insurance unaffordable or worse, unavailable.

 

[rightwinger]

Gawd you're a moron. DeSantis is not responsible for hurricanes.

Then why has he relaxed climate change legislation?

Provide the facts that climate change is the cause for hurricanes. You do know that hurricanes occurred in the Gulf long before the climate change screamers existed, right?

Provide the facts to demonstrate that any climate change legislation in Florida will affect weather in the Gulf.

Our problem with hurricanes is not that they have always occurred but they are more severe and more frequent.

DeSantis needs to look at a map and realize that his state sits dead center in hurricane central.

He needs to listen to insurance companies that tell him they are tired of major payouts, year after year, in his state.

Demanding taxpayer bailouts in a state that is doing nothing to help itself is getting tiresome

So no, then. Nothing DeSantis does regarding climate change will affect Gulf hurricanes.

Population density is what causes insurance rates to climb. A larger population means more housing and greater need for insurance. The insurance companies ultimately determine their risk / reward in terms of premiums. DeSantis doesn't control that.

Lol..it seems we vote the same locally. In the past, anyone with a (D) next to their name didn’t stand a chance to win in my area, so when it came to local elections it was a choice between rampant development and more rampant development. In November, some folks were elected who ran on a platform of slowing growth. So, it may be changing though they are a minority on the county commission. Residents are concerned over quality of life issues not to mention an overabundance of unsold houses and a very soft real estate market.

They can't build them (new homes) in my AO fast enough, all are sold to the remote .gov worker and transplant NOtVA scum before they are finished.

Hopefully the move to make the remote workers go back in to work in DC will slow that down a bit....Unless they want to leave at 0430 and get home at 1800 every day.

Another thing that does not help is my AO has become a Catholic destination due to an ever-growing college.....They have a new Catholic church/K-12 school getting ready to break ground too.

At least they tend to be right-leaners, and not disciples of the guy in the pointy hat who sits on his throne in Rome.

The thing is that they want to try and run things and that is not sitting well at all with the locals. They need to learn their place and try to fit in better.

For the Governor of a state most susceptible to hurricanes to remain a climate change denier is criminal.
Florida should be at the forefront of nationwide climate legislation. Instead, they pretend it doesn’t exist and demand federal payouts

That's all very melodramatic but you still can't tell us whst could be done by DeSantis that will affect Gulf weather.

Provide the facts that show climate change is materially affecting Gulf weather.

Another cowardly retreat. Nothing in your climate change screeching will serve as a defendable argument.

Hold my beer.

You cannot get flood insurance on a sand spit on the coast. If it is in a flood zone, you cannot insure it. If it is in an area that floods when a hurricane hits, you can't get insurance except at exorbitant rates through the federal government. I lived on the one spot in Duval County that was rated as impossible to flood. Even if I wanted it, I could not get flood insurance.

Abject nonsense.

I knew you would scurry away, pumpkin.

Find a place to peddle your "because I say so" nonsense, elsewhere.

So...you must have some actual evidence to back this claim up, right? Becauyse you would never make a bullshit claim without evidence...right?

Deflection.

Translation: you have NOTHING. You have five-dollar words, five-cent talking points, and five gigatons of bullshit.

Florida's housing market is cooling down as investors stray away from the Sunshine State because of hurricanes, insurance costs and new safety measures making the state a less desirable place to live. As hurricanes and insurance rates continue to pound Florida I wonder if this will continue, and begin to affect other Gulf Coast states.

Florida home sales plunge as Sunshine State becomes less desirable

A myriad of problems has caused property investors to take a step back from the Sunshine State.

www.newsweek.com

According to a new report by Redfin, investor purchases fell most in Fort Lauderdale with a decline of 23.8 percent year over year in the third quarter of 2024. Miami has experienced a 19.4 percent decline in the same period, whereas West Palm Beach investor purchases have dwindled by 16 percent, and Orlando has been hit by a 13.3 percent drop.

The state has also experienced an overall drop of 10.2 percent in home buying from October 2023 to October 2024. The average number of days a home remains on the market has also increased by more than a third to 67 days, up from 44 days in October last year. Despite this, the median sale price is up 1.3% year on year to $410,000.

Redfin said the drop off in purchases by investors is for the same reasons individual buyers are becoming wary of the state. Florida's housing market has been hit by numerous setbacks of late, including extreme weather, high insurance costs and a myriad of new safety regulations pushing up homeowner association costs.

Great.

Tired of subsidizing stupidity.

Maybe Debbie Wasserman Shultz will get sucked up in a Hurricane and taken to the land of OZ where she can be the wicked witch of the stupid.

She denies there is a climate ?

I doubt that.

You are an example of your signature.

Mans impact on our climate is well documented and accepted worldwide as a fact except by Americas conservatives

Yes, why buy where you want to live, good point

But Floridiots don't seem to care. I can't believe they voted down pot. I know a woman who loves pot and she's on medicaid/disability. She voted for Trump. I laughed when Florida voted down pot. Now I'm curious what she will say about cuts come to her government cheese.

No one cares if pot is legal or not.

All it means is revenue for the state.

And if they get more money, they'll find a way to spend it.

Newsweek was part of the big lie about Biden's mental health and Harris's chances. Why trust Newsweek for information? People are leaving the people's republic of California and NYC in droves. Why pick on Florida? It's part of the anti republican narrative in the criminal enterprise known as the "mainstream media"
