I knew as soon as you said, what really bugs you about homeownership in Florida you were going to mention insurance. It’s definitely a problem. I’m a demolition contractor and I can’t tell you how many people homes I’ve demoed, because insurance removed their coverage right after they paid off their house. Then something happened during a storm and damaged their house, If you asked me, I would say that the insurance companies are only covering houses to protect the banks. Because they certainly aren’t protecting the people.

Also watch out for skyrocketing HOA fees because a lot of HOA's in Florida haven't built up their reserves and they're now being required to do that. I understand 41% of residential real estate in Florida is subject to an HOA. I'm in California and have thought of moving to Florida, but the combination of high insurance premiums, high HOA fees, and an uncapped property tax (unlike what we have in California) has convinced me that this would be a mistake.

I need to move in Florida and after researching I concluded that the only viable approach is: - Forget about buying anywhere near a major established city. Choose a place in a more isolated area. - Forget about buying anywhere that requires flood or hurricane insurance. Yes, those places exist but they are few, and usually it means buying a home currently under construction. - And... you have to hope that the laws change for the better before your home reaches 10-15 years old, because that is when your insurance costs and/or problems will start under current law, even if your home and roof are in perfect condition. Still, the best solution is to avoid Florida altogether, and absolutely forget about buying here as an investment.

Florida has no income tax, but government has to squeeze its expenses out of you somehow. How? Through property tax. Your property tax will be higher than property tax in South Carolina. Here is an example: A $500K home in Fremont California has property tax of $6294 a year. A $500K home in McAllen Texas (where there is no income tax) has property tax of $12,400. I would rather pay $3000 in income tax than $6000 more in property tax.

The laws are rapidly changing in Florida to take HOA boards out of the decision process to make repairs on existing condos.. the responsibilities will be on architects and engineers to make needed repairs..this will cause many existing condo buildings to be sold and demolished by land developers..many prople on fixed incomes will be forced to sell and leave Florida for good.. The Florida housing market will become seriously unaffordable .

Inaccurate, Senate bill 2-A will require home owners with Citizens insurance (so basically everyone getting insurance in Florida these days) to get flood insurance, regardless of whether or not they are in a flood zone starting March 2024 for $600,000 or more, March 2025 for $500,000 or more, March 2026 for $400,000 or more, and March 2027 for all other policies. "The bill provides that Citizens personal lines residential policyholders must secure and maintain flood insurance that meets certain requirements as a condition of eligibility for Citizens coverage. The bill provides the following timetable for which flood insurance coverage must be implemented for personal lines residential Citizens policyholders: For risks located in areas designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as special flood hazard areas, flood insurance must be secured for new Citizens policies with an effective date on or after April 1, 2023, and at renewal for Citizens policies that renew on or after July 1, 2023. For all other risks, the requirement to obtain flood insurance at policy issuance or renewal is effective: March 1, 2024, for policies insuring property to a limit of $600,000 or more. March 1, 2025, for policies insuring property to a limit of $500,000 or more. March 1, 2026, for policies insuring property to a limit of $400,000 or more. March 1, 2027, for all other policies."

Yes, I think that is great advice. It's not just the dollar amount, but the job market in general. You could find yourself with a lot less job security, longer hours, competition for the work, inability to make even a lateral move,. I have dismissed the state income tax thing decades ago, because that money is tax deductible to your federal, so it's a negligible amount to pay and certainly, not having it, does not make up for a material loss of wage and a tripling of your home owner's insurance. My take would be, coming from having tried the move, if your career is guaranteed to pay you to be in Florida ( i.e. your company is moving there or the boss orders you to move there) , go there. Things will find a way to get paid for. People will step up to help you figure out the economics of it. Problems vary by person, and life is not fair. Go with an army. I would not carry the burden of re-marketing myself alone in that job market. If you are retired and it's all expenses paid, or your just have "f u" money, for sure it could be a blast.

For perspective, let's remember these trends exist in many parts of the country. In the last 7 years we have lived in FL (Jax), Montana, Arizona and now back to FL (near Ft. Myers). Prices in all those markets have risen substantially. Getting trade work done on an existing home was difficult & expensive in each of these places due to labor supply shortages & a fractured supply chain. What seems to distinguish these issues in FL moreso than other places is the insurance market. The emphasis you are placing on "knowing your numbers", Katrin, is paramount and wise counsel. Beyond that, my recommendation for shopping in the FL market right now is to ratchet down what you are shopping for so your budget can support a NEW home purchase. This reduces your insurance cost substantially (our new home policy will be $1200/yr), allows you to shop for a policy from a more secure insurance carrier, reduces the uncertainty of future premium increases, and eliminates your need to find trades skills for home improvements. And let's be frank: Americans tend to buy more house than they need, whereas a modest but quality built home purchase will typically hold its value well. If moving to FL is your goal (and why not?!), for a few years give up on the idea of the caged pool, or opt for a comfortable new condo rather than the single family home. If you like it here, as Katrin and I do, you can 'move up' later, when or even if you feel the need. (Sorry for the long comment).

When considering cost of living in a state with income tax like South Carolina vs a state like Florida where this is no income tax, you need to also look at property tax rates. Property tax in SC is much less than property tax in Florida and for retired folks, many states with income tax that do not tax retirement income may be quite the bargain for retirees.

@radboston 11 ай бұрын

Bottom line is there are drawbacks everywhere. We used to think we were screwed here in Massachusetts with high taxes. But upon further analysis, Southerners have far lower wages that simply don’t justify the supposed lower cost of living. Most Southern states rank in the bottom ten in public education quality and income. Florida’s state sales tax and property taxes are GREATER than in alleged ‘Taxachusetts’. 😛 We even have a reasonably priced grocery store chain so even Publix is more costly for groceries. Florida’s drivers are worse than here (we used to have the worst, guess too many from here and New Jersey moved down there). Finally, our worst storms tend to be harmless snowstorms. Bad hurricanes and tornadoes are rare. Thanks to global warming and climate change, our winters have been trending milder with considerably lower snowfall over the past 5 years.

Well, it's time to give wealthy home owners in Florida tax breaks and government subsidies to help them pay for flood insurance on their million-dollar beach houses. And we can pay for it by cutting Medicaid for the poor and reducing Social Security payments for seniors on a fixed-income. It's RIGHT because it's the Republican thing to do! March 15, 2023 NPR Radio: "In Florida, 1.7 million people will soon lose their Medicaid health coverage. As NPR's Greg Allen reports, Florida is one of 11 states that declined to accept the federal government's regular Medicaid coverage. In Florida, the administration of Governor Ron DeSantis says the first group of notifications will start going out in April. They call it Medicaid unwinding. Eventually, they say close to 2 million people may be disenrolled from Medicaid in Florida, leaving many of them without a health plan."

Your governor ron desantis just committed economic suicide for the people of florida with his implementation of E verify. now it will be extremely difficult to find labor in all industries in florida, especially in the service industry. and being that florida is like 80 percent service industry, the impact will be soooo severe. i know this from personal experience when my hotel implemented e verify, we lost like 60 percent of our labor. and if that is not bad enough, florida housing will lose 30 percent of it's value from the housing crash that is coming. florida homes are 30 percent overvalued and will come down. how awful to buy a house locked in at 400k and be stuck paying that mortage, insurance, other taxes. and that is not even including the inflation that will getting much worse next year. i told a person know not to buy a house in miami, now she is literally begging people on facebook for money handouts to help her. i feel bad for her because she works in the service industry, at a low pay which is all of florida.

Perhaps, but previous Stare regulations mandates certain processes and procedures for insurers to follow. The real problem is the reality of recurring hurricanes in Florida that has caused hundreds of millions of dollars damage again and again. That money was paid to homeowners in Florida. Companies must recoup those losses. Everybody pays insurance increases regardless of you were paid for a loss or not.

Florida has been hit with 125 major hurricanes since 1850. Why are insurance premiums only shooting up now? What was different this time from the previous 125 category 3 or 4 hurricanes? I think the combination of labor and lumber shortages from last year plus inflation is the driving force here.

If you live in Florida and you don’t buy flood insurance you’re kind of doomed.. I lived in Florida most of my life south Florida and Central Florida and I’ lived through numerous hurricanes every year it gets worse and you don’t know where it’s going to flood because Florida has sinkholes everywhere and it was built on swamp land and limestone.. I am totally happy that I don’t live there I’m on the West Coast up in the mountains I don’t think I would trade the mountains for the ocean any day.. and especially not in Florida but that’s just me Florida is still a beautiful state but my question is for how long if a tsunami hits Florida it’s over.. Well;we will hope and pray For the best because most of my family lives there... And there insurance just went up tremendously from paying $1200 a year to paying almost $5000 a year for Homeowners insurance... Plus Flood insurance Florida has become the new California without the views of the mountains ⛰ Ocean and wine country.. I love Sarasota it’s beautiful I used to go there to relax and shop... but even though it’s beautiful I wouldn’t trade it for mountain views for anything!

What I don't understand is why are counties allowed to increase taxes on property based on the "unrealized faux" increase in the value of a home. If a home goes up in value homeowners don't benefit from the increased Faux value of their home unless they sell. Even if home owners successfully sell their home, there is no guarantee that they will get what the county predicted the value was three years ago. Imagine a bank applying that same Faux logic to your newly purchased car. Banks would insist that since the value of your car went up so should your monthly payment. There would be riots in the street.

Katrin, I really appreciate your fair, no-nonse approach to you video presentations. The one metric that I possibly disagree with is the median sale price of homes in FL. Many Florida homes are small, and in the range of 1,000 to 1,500 SF. I suspect the Florida median price/SF is somewhat higher than the other locations shown on your bar chart. To me, it's seems more accurate to base median home prices on a sales price/SF, than simply using the median sales price alone. Your thoughts? 16:37
