South Florida has the highest rate of inflation when compared to over a dozen of the largest metro areas in the U.S. The Consumer Price Index was released late last week, which showed housing costs are up more than 7% over this time last year, which begs the question: Should you be looking to buy or sell your home now?

    As long as investors and corporations are allowed to buy homes, they will remain out of reach for regular working class

    That Realtor is out of touch with the real economy we have at the moment. The interest rate is not the main issue for the home purchase. The main issue is nobody wants to pay $650,000 for a home and two years later it’s worth $500,000 because the economy is destroyed. What good is a low interest rate when you can’t guarantee your home will hold its value.

    His rent would be $3500 a month also. Rent is no joke right now.

    How lucky am I I brought a house in 2009 in Miami when the banking system crashed. The house I brought two years before I brought it sold for 390k then when half of Florida was in foreclosure in 2009 I brought my house directly from the bank for 140k. Now it's worth 600k I'm probably going to sell it soon and retired overseas.

    Inflation isn’t coming down don’t be delusional
  • @zoraster3749
    Interest rates are historically average and are far too low when you consider the amount of debt in the system. It’s the asset prices that are too high.

    The south florida real Estate market is more resilient than other markets in the US because more people with buying capacity moved in. By the way, the rates wont go down, specially after the last inflation numbers, I know Biden wishes to push them down but it would cause more harm than good in the long run. We are still paying the consequences of bad policies and free printing of money and thats why our dollar is worth less compared to before covid.

    3:25 She is lying through her teeth! IF the inflation comes down your house market price will be less than you paid for and when you ask for a refinancing the bank has to value your house to the market price and not whatever you paid for this which means you will have a negative equity and in order to qualify for a financing you will have to pay down more your mortgage! She is a terrible liar!

    Conveniently left out the words “hurricane” and “flood insurance.” I think Biden has done a good a job as any with our economy and inflation. He doesn’t have many tools when it’s worldwide inflation. When your insurance payment exceeds your mortgage payment I don’t think inflation is your #1 concern.

    3500 a month means game over for 90% of the population. Just live in your car and get an LA Fitness membership 😊

    Never buy a home with another person unless you're married that guy is asking for trouble.
  • @scott331
    But yet house/ Townhouse’s between the range of $370k - $500k are selling like hotcakes due to the lower price point

    'its not 2008 nor 2021' - he completely nailed... nobody has seen such a market where demand is constantly there but sales isn't happening due to high interest rates and inflation.
