I had to rub my eyes. In 2021 I was looking for a 2 bed and they were all $1900. $2100 for the new apartments.

Now, I see homeloaners and ex-BNBers trying to rent their townhouse or 3 Bed (1960s converted, so no garage), 1.5 for $1600 and laughing.

The new multifamilies are offering 2 months free rent at $1400 for 900-1100 sq ft 2-3 bedrooms.

Knock 'em down.

Yep, every asset will likely return to the mean

I think that means go back 15 years and examine rent per square foot and it should only increase by about 3% annually in Panama City Beach

Condo prices make record slide as crisis hits breaking point

Condo prices across the US are plummeting — with some areas seeing values sink by a staggering one-third in just a year.

The average condo sale price in the US fell 2.2 percent year over year to $354,100 in May, a new report shows — making it the second largest drop in records dating back to 2012.

The only steeper drop occurred in April 2023, shortly after the market’s post-pandemic peak, according to Redfin.

The biggest condo price drops are hitting Florida and Texas. In May, Deltona, Florida saw prices fall over 32 percent year-over-year — the steepest decline nationwide.

Crestview, Florida (down 32 percent), Houston, Texas (down 23 percent), Tampa, Florida (down 19 percent), and Oakland, California (down 20 percent) also faced sharp drops.

Seven of the top ten metros with the largest price declines were in Florida, two in Texas. Sellers in parts of Florida have had to drop prices below $10,000.

Sales are sliding just as fast. Markets like Dallas, Palm Bay, Port St. Lucie, and Orlando saw condo sales drop over 30 percent year-over-year, with Florida again dominating the list of hardest-hit areas.

Condo prices are falling for a number of reasons. One major factor is that the market is flooded. There are 80 percent more condo sellers than buyers.

Lol dude. You're losing it. They're coastal areas..... They're urban areas.... Let me know when I'm wrong. I've said it's urban areas AND coastal areas where the prices will drop. These are all places within 2 hours of the beach AND urban. Prices in my region have increased, and that includes Chicago, so I'm wrong there. See it's okay to admit you're wrong.

Just own up to the fact I've been 90% correct. It's okay. Millennials are starting families, own condos and are leaving urban areas. For every smart ass comment you make you look more like the fool. What real estate have you ever done? My guess is none and you're just a sad renter. Jealousy is a bad look.

Keep attacking people though and changing user names so people don't put you on ignore. You've never had an intelligent real estate comment besides criticizing other users. It's bull shit and you're a troll. You know nothing about real estate. 10 markets mean nothing beside what I've explained over and over. People are moving out of cities in coastal areas and/or buyer are going elsewhere. This isn't difficult.

You want a crash because you didn't buy. Sad really. It's not coming, unless you want a shitty city condo.

WookieMan says

You want a crash because you didn't buy.

I did buy, but I want a crash so I can buy more.

Condos in Florida are a hard sell. Thanks to the new 10,20, and 30 year inspections. The assessments are driving potential buyers away.
Since two story condos are exempt and don't have such requirements. Investors are buying up every house in Hollywood that comes up for sell, to demolish and build a Brutal square box quadplex in their place. They are hideous, just a cookie cutter box. It's the new thing.

In Florida, there's no real estate crash in some places which I frequent when I am not in fucked up sunny Mexico.

When I use the word AND it means coastal areas are losing value. So are cities that could be inland. It doesn't have to be both. One AND/OR the other. A retard would have understood that.

Looking at national and statewide values is quite possibly the dumbest counter argument there could be. I've shared the above link multiple times. You've shown me nothing. I think just a map of where statewide prices have dropped is all you've posted with no backing data. That fucking means nothing. Give data and not photos. My link above is from June 27, 2025.

Give me up to date stats, not just a colored map where one city can change the entire state. Here, I'll give you data on Oklahoma State. Up 2.1% the last year. https://www.zillow.com/home-values/45/ok/

I'm not wrong. You are and I just proved it with data in two locations. And even IF OK was down the home prices are next to nothing. Next I bet you'll bring up Minnesota. Or Colorado. Give me facts or shut the fuck up.

Oklahoma has insurance issues due to things like hail damage to the extent it might actually be worse than Florida / California / Hawaii / Colorado. That's going to cause housing prices to drop.

IL has rising property taxes yet the major metro region, 3rd largest in the country is appreciating with high interest rates. Usually it's just a roof with hail. I've only seen one roof in my town this year replaced and we've had hail.

Let's call it $8k as I know the home sizes here. There's 800 homes and probably 40 other non-res buildings. I'd guess 95% pay home owners insurance or have insurance on their commercial property. 10 houses easily cover that. The insurance companies are making money and are able to invest that. For OK the tornado fear is the bigger factor, not hail.

Total home replacement is the biggest fear for insurance companies. Plus they might be making up for lost revenue in states like CA and FL where they backed out insuring there. So they raise rates to generally low risk states for total loss. OK is just roofs and the rare tornado that hits a relatively rural area of the country.

Basically it shouldn't move the needle on housing prices in OK since housing replacement values are comparatively low with the rest of the country. So a $900/yr rate might go to $1,100/yr. $200/yr is not going to stop you from buying a house if you want one.

It is a hoax. Insurances have gotten used to extorting federal and state governments by threatening not to provide services if they aren't backstopped. When was the last time an insurance went bankrupt due to nature causing too much damage? The irony is that states like CA mandate insurance for everything so people cannot opt out of premium racketeering. Try running an HOA and you will figure out it's a state govt + insurance racket. People should be free to decline insurance for pretty much anything, then the market would regulate accordingly.

Nothing makes insurance costs drop faster than making it optional.

Obamacare really did a job.

In CA an HOA needs dishonest people insurance, often in the millions, to "protect" against embezzlement. This is similar to shoplifting insurance except for that the hoas don't have any pull on the premiums as it's mandated. Back in the days you would have flogged and possibly hanged the looter so that the recurrence was so minimal that no insurance was ever needed. Even with the lax criminal laws significant embezzlement is rare and can get caught early these days with modern tech/automation. But there's no escaping the hefty premiums and the insurance makes out like a fat cat.

Name one thing? Name one thing I'm wrong about. Oklahoma prices are not going down. My prices are going up. Coastal areas and/or urban areas in SOME places inland are in decline. Does that make you guys feel better for not owning a home? I own a house. I get why you guys are here. Rent vs. Own. Jealousy is a bitch.

Also no evidence of anything. No link. AD at least posts Florida information for his area. You guys post nothing as far as data. You guys are wrong because you can't be. You provide nothing to the conversation. It's a kindergarten conversation and i think I'm out on this one and will ignore this thread. Can't deal with stupid and no data.

Jealousy has nothing to do with your poor command basic comparative logic.

Just heard that Florida Realtors are starting to refuse unrealistic seller's listings, like people trying to pawn off 1950s concrete block ranches in meh neighborhoods at $300k.

The reason given was it's $500 just for photography and a cleanup, not including staging. Nobody is going to pay $300k for a 1100 sq ft with no garage/carport, old fashioned accordion door closets (which really can't be expanded), beige toilet and tub, and ancient carpet where you can see where the bed and sofa was for 30 years...

... when they can buy 1500 sq ft all new construction with a garage for a couple of $10k more AND get a two-year incentive on the rate from a builder. Not to mention the roof and HVAC are brand new and under warranty. Alot of these older houses were very poorly converted to central air with serious wet and dust problems in the vents.

No walk-in closets is fine when you're retired or a snowbird and only bringing fair weather clothes. It's not okay when you plan to live there for decades, esp. with a family, and you can't store papers, albums, kid's drawings, and such in a 90F 80% humidity garage. And of course there is no basement. I had a copy of Camp of the Saints before it got to be $100+ for a copy, and I accidentially left it at my mothers. She put it in her outdoor locker and it's greener and more moldy than an SJW's hair in just a year. Cover is the consistency of an abandoned aquarium and most of the pages are illegible.

I wrote about some proposals that were being floated about DeSantis doing away with property taxes as a way to help homeowners cope with rising costs of owning property. Well, sounds like they are getting more serious. However, unless government spending is cut and it never is, taxes will rise in other areas. A bunch of those taxes would fall on renters. Nothing says social cohesion like changing tax policy to benefit the rich over the poor. This would also help keep property prices up. When that fails, the nuclear option is to have negative property taxes -- Just wait ! ! !

Exactly what can you store in a 90F 80% humidity garage? Or even in a shed? I mean I think that there are plenty of sheds in Florida, but I'm not sure what you can store in them (may be dependent on where in Florida).

Plastic shit, lawn mower, tools, washer fluid, oil, car stuff etc.

MAMDANI to stop Florida Real Estate Decline! Yet another man-made disaster makes New Yorkers run South!

There's nothing left in Florida but 5th Gen Flippers looking for a sucker.
Or you might could get into one of those tiny condo apartments they are squeezing in a 8 family units on a SFH lot.

In the utility plastic shed I store Holiday decorations in 40 and 50 gallon plastic tubs. I store all my tools and heat and humidity sensitive stuff in my mancave shed. It's airconditioned.

OK hail is not a new thing.

So, DeSantis, not exactly thinking long term is pushing forward on having no property tax in Florida. Great if you have a $1million plus property, but unless spending is cut, and he ain't for that, those taxes gotta come from somewhere. He's out to curry the vote of the large landowners. Renters just get screwed, and taxes aren't included in CPI figures. This pushes up property prices and takes monthly savings from renters looking to buy a home because of higher sales taxes. It'll take a 60% majority vote of the population to pass come next year. So, he proposed an immediate relief of a $1k rebate to property owners for this year. Gotta love that reverse Robinhood vibe, give landowners extra coin, renters get extra taxes and inflation.

A little extra push to keep homeownership out of the hands of those without.

People wonder why a Mamdani gets elected by the young.

DeSantis is trying to make it more liveable for the retiree living in a $250K to $700K home on a limited income such as Social Security and a small self-funded pension like IRA.

He's also trying to force Democrat city councils like in Gainesville and Orlando to stop the reckless spending increases and passes this onto home owners through property tax and assessment increases.

They will waste money on Democrat causes like green initiatives while neglecting infrastructure upkeep like local road maintenance.

My property insurance (HO-3, ~$275K replacement value, 5% deductible, within 2 miles of beach in Florida panhandle) was to be renewed at $2350 in September 2025 by Olympus Insurance.

I was able to lower that to around $1625 by switching to Ovation Insurance. That is same price I paid for Olympus Insurance back around 2022.

HOA is lowering the regular assessment from $420 to $385 per month for 2026. There has never been a special assessment during the HOA's 20 year history.
