Last time I was in Miami it was anything but a quiet utopia. Straight piped ATV's and dirt bikes on the 95 with cops chasing them and the beloved toll booths so you can avoid the congested roads. It is a mess, and do not go anywhere near chrome ave. It is one dangerous road....

Miami is still a quiet utopia.

...thats funny...

As far as Miami that was the 60's

Guess you have not been on Krome Ave in a while It's a 4 lane now

...florida has always been like this. real estate appreciation is NOT something new at all, for someone buying anything but a shack residentially. bought a home in southeast florida for high 30's in 1966. sold it 7 years later for 72 in one day. you can count the number of slow years of real estate marketing in southeast florida on one hand, versus the economy of everywhere else. i exaggerate a bit, but you get the jest...

I get what you are saying and yes it should tell you something about FL living opposed to the North in many ways.
Having been up&down for the last 40+ years I have personally never seen the purchase frenzy we have been seeing in the last 12 months. As for Miami, years back we owned Sargent Peppers Subs on A1A next door to DMV and saw the changes happing and quickly so we went up North some.

Real estate is headed for a "correction" IMO. When? When the economy drops and interest goes up, people can't make payments. We all have seen the cycle.

I agree 100%, just like the stock market. I would be very careful, things can not continue the way they are going...JMPO.

...i disagree. at least for the near future anyways. rates are not going to jump that much, that it will shut down the boomers from living where they want to live down here, and everyone else that has the means. most all, as previously mentioned, are paying cash to boot. i believe our economy is going to improve overall as well, in the "near" future...

Would just like to mention that the reason they want to move and can do so in cash is because no matter how high the numbers are down there they are much higher up in many Northern areas so FL housing it is still a bargain/affordable, not to mention personal & property taxes, insurances, government etc.
Prefer not to continue, I could get deeper not worth it. Hope you are right and wish all well.
OH, Let me not forget you can boat all year, save $$ on winterizing and winter storage for your boat......

The market in SW Florida is the best I have seen in my 20 years of selling Real Estate here.
Lots of cash buyers coming from the North East. Buyers paying over asking price. We have
very little inventory from $500K to $1.5M.

We are loving the area we chose in Sarasota so far! Can't wait to find a marina and get my boat down there.

I'm noticing Verizon wireless isn't the best in my Condo area, I've been wanting to make the move to a less woke company anyway. Anyone have Puretalk or Patriot Mobile in the Sarasota area? If so how is the coverage and was it easy to port all your phones over to the new service?
