Florida Real Estate Bombshell

In Florida, the jump in UNSOLD condo inventory is at historic levels, and it’s WAY worse than the usual headlines suggest (which is saying something because the headlines are all bad right now).

What’s happening now in Florida, especially in condominium sales is a classic boom to bust example.

This is nothing new we’ve seen it before we’ve seen it in the stock market and naturally we’ve seen it in the real estate market but once you’re involved in it personally whether you’re owning a lot of stocks or you’re living in a condo whose value has now gone down to less than what the mortgage is on the property, it’s hard to believe that this can happen.

I think this is just human nature, because prices going up are always liked, but, when prices go crazy or go up for an inordinate long time, many people think it’s going to continue forever or there’s a new trend, this is usually a red flag that the market is about to turn. It just seems that people cannot accept the fact that whether it’s the stock market or the real estate market values can go down just as fast, and sometimes faster than they went up.

So, at this point, you might be thinking to yourself, well that’s Florida and I’m not living in Florida, but what’s happening in Florida should be considered a major red flag for almost any Metro area in the country that has seen sky high prices during the pandemic and currently are seeing prices stagnate or like markets such as, Boise Idaho, Phoenix Arizona and the Austin Texas going through a marked increase in inventory, combined with increased sales times and naturally resulting in lower final sales prices.

One should keep in mind, that it’s very dangerous whether the stock market or the real estate market, to anticipate that a bottom has occurred or is about to occur during a declining market. In the stock market, this is called trying to catch a falling sword. A common place phrase usually heard in falling markets is that this is a great buying opportunity, because just 6 months ago or a year ago this property was $$$, so, look how much you’re saving by buying now. Needless to say, one should exercise extreme caution in buying in declining markets, because there’s no guarantees that the market does not have much farther to fall before a real bottom develops.

Another important point to keep in mind, is that a lot of times in declining real estate markets not only are the sales prices of the properties going down, but the potential rental values are also decreasing. This fact, combined with the fact that in many localities, a large proportion of the residential real estate is owned by investors! So, investors who were once enjoying a positive cash flow and are now having to feed the property because of lower rent values, may turn on a dime, and just sell out. Yes, investors are not like homeowners, it doesn’t take much for them to decide they made a bad investment, dump that investment and move on.

Now, a lot of people say that I’ve been negative on the real estate market, personally, I just think I’ve been reporting the truth, and if people  listen to my advice and held off purchasing in the overheated markets of Idaho, Arizona and Texas, financially they might just be looking a lot better today, than they would have been looking, if they owned a declining real estate asset.

Naturally, these are just my own personal views and not legal or real estate advice to anyone. People reading this should keep in mind that all real estate is local and you could be living in one area where real estate is declining and yet a neighborhood just a couple blocks away from your property has actually been increasing in value. So, my remarks here are general in nature and just my own opinion. If you want to get an accurate idea of what’s happening in your particular real estate market and or the value of a property that you own, you should consult a local area real estate specialist. I would suggest, a real estate broker who lives in the area that you own property, and has at least 10 plus years of residential real estate experience! If you’d like to know your what real estate properties are worth, send me an email and I’ll connect you with a top real estate broker in San Diego who will provide this information at absolutely no cost or obligation to you!
