Even when I lived in Miami in '05, I thought the pricing per average wages earned in the metro area were unrealistic and untenable. I could imagine how bad it is now. Miami simply doesn't have the high-paying jobs to allow the average person there to afford the housing. It's for the most part, a region and state full of low-skilled, minimum-wage earners.
Another reason it's less likely to happen that way is that there is already too much demand waiting to absorb that regardless of how everyone is panicking and calling the crash. Nobody was making this prediction in 2008, at least not the general public, as I indicated below. In the other comment, it was mentioned that the ownership rate peaked in 2004. As of today, we are at the median level, having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020. It decreased by 3% over 4 years, from 2008 to 2012, going from 68 to 65 in the second quarter of 2020.
Most people are unable to handle a fall since they are accustomed to bull markets, but if you know where to look and how to get around, you can profit handsomely. It depends on your entry and exit strategy.
@Dragon Jee I can understand why Kimberly is so busy because she has impressive credentials and a terrific resume. But I still set up a meeting with her.
It's insane how crazy Miami real estate is. And wages are extremely low in comparison. Most working class there have some kind of hustle to make ends meet.
Correct. That's the way it's supposed to work. "Working class" people don't get to live in wealthy neighborhoods. That's the way it has worked since we created cities. It can't work any other way. Suppose you could magically create "affordable" (way under market) homes in any popular place. How many people will you have wanting those units? 100x? 1000x? What have you accomplished? As soon as those units are filled values shoot right back up so all you did was give money to a bunch of people in the form of increased equity. Or you create a law saying those owners can never sell for more they they paid (we actually have at least 1 complex here in the Phoenix area that has that in the HOA rules) which robs the people of their home being an investment. Many countries like Russia and China tried this and it didn't go so well. Why keep up a property if it's going down in value due to inflation.
It isn't just Miami . But most of Florida that is also becoming totally unaffordable for the majority of the Middle Class . Soon , Florida will not only be overpopulated like California . But it will cost as much to live there .
Overpopulated = popular. People who can't afford these popular places makeup all kinds of strange twisted thinking to rationalize why they aren't keeping up. The "middle class" is not some kind of noble society deserving of special treatment. That's a line of crap fed to them because they love hearing it. "Middle class" means you don't earn enough, or spend too much, to be able to out bid people earning more to live in the most popular area. We're creating more people and more wealthy people and we're not creating more land in these few tiny little areas where most of the planet wants to live. Yes of course Palm Beach is spreading out to the rest of the state. Middle class are not entitled. And don't worry about the wealthy not have fire fighters, police, teachers, hospitals. Wealthy areas have never had a problem finding worker bees because they have the resources.
California ain't overpopulated. As far as cost of living, Miami and South florida in general already have LA and NYC rental prices, but much lower wages than those cities. It's no longer affordable to live in Miami.
Maybe that’s why they are doubling it now, to pay the cost for the future when it’s underwater… Just a thought. Still seems very high… I could never be a landlord, I couldn’t charge people that ridiculous amount of money. It would’ve feel right.😕
Of course not. Almost a third of the Netherlands is below sea level and has for as long as the Netherlands has existed. Holding back the sea is not complicated or particularly expensive compared to the real estate it protects. Sea level will increase very slowly giving plenty of time to build walls. Beaches will however go away in the protected areas. That may affect values some, but I doubt much.
For you, But apparently not for the people eagerly biding up rents so they can move in. In a supply and demand market current rents match current demand. Rent would be too high if there were vastly higher vacancy rates. Learned that in Economics 101. Maybe that's no longer taught?
The gators 🐊 are much better company than a hell of a lot of the people lol… Florida has been a pile of mirages and scams from its inception and is infested with awful phony people who worship nothing but money and who treat their vulnerable workers and other struggling community members like garbage.

And AZ doesn’t (yet?) have the level of unhinged creepy criminality and societal rot that Florida is legendary for. That sort of Petri dish of foul dysfunction and moral decay takes years and epic societal failings to incubate.

You don't need money to solve the issue. The problem is entirely due to the fact that the supply of apartments/homes is lower than the demand. How you fix that is by getting rid of restrictions that cause the low supply. They don't have this problem in cities like Tokyo. You can rent an apartment in Tokyo for like $600 - 800 per month despite being the most populated city in the world.
Completely imbalanced. Who exactly do they think is going to work in all the sectors and for the companies she claims are rushing to move to hurricane-ridden, climate doomed Miami 🤣 I looked at an open posting in Miami the other day, for a role I’m sure will not pay six figures. In office, no hybrid or remote option. How?
Exactly it is too high priced people say u lov it here why u didn’t move here before … uh like Money that is th only reason money .. u cannot afford to live here on less than six figure no way
Wealthy areas have never had a problem getting all the help they wanted. It has always been one of the most silly arguments ever. Popular to say and hear like somehow wealthy people are going to somehow panic and start doing something different. The opposite happens. As values increase so does the service sector in the area. Instead of McDonalds you get high end restaurants with the highest skilled staff. You get the best hospitals built, the best schools, the best fire departments. It's why wealthy people want to live in these tiny areas with other wealthy people. The improved infrastructure flows in too pushing out the crap.
So now Florida gets to tackle the same issues the West Coast have been fighting for 40 years. I guess we get to see how they do or do they get stuck with the same NIMBY attitude that is preventing solutions in California.
@@MrWaterbugdesign all the major cities in California, and even smaller cities like Fresno, are really expensive. I've seen you posting on every comment, like you're the comment police haha. Housing affordability in every major city in the US is getting worse and worse, and the bubble is going to pop. When people can't afford housing, or basic life necessities, that's when riots start and/or wars break out. Add in all the immigrants being let in from South of the border, I'm very curious to see how this plays out
I said this years ago. Florida is the California of the east coast. This is why I left and moved to Atlanta. Better paying jobs in Atlanta and definitely more affordable housing
Florida a lot of fake instagram rich Hot Traffic Expensive Services are slow Too Crowded Flooding The nigh life is over rated and some places gettoo Good for vacation few days
It's the tech hub influx of companies coupled with the hedge fund industry. Same thing happened in San Fransisco. Too much demand and no enough supply. Equals a price bidding frenzie.
"Salaries have not kept pace." Nonsense. The only reason values shoot up is because buyers are standing in line to bid up values. Obviously salaries have kept up...and surpassed home values. If people couldn't afford the prices the units wouldn't be sold. If you want to complain then complain about people earning more and more money. It's the wealth gap in action. We're making more people who are more wealthy who can afford these super popular locations. It's all the people who settled for average pay jobs who get out bid. Yes of course a real estate agent doing just OK isn't going to be able to afford a beautiful home on the most popular land in the world. Can't afford a place on the French Riviera. There are thousands of homes on lots in the US that a person can buy for about $1k and add $15k of work and they're livable. The reason they're that cheap is because no one wants to live there. In the US land/homes are about 1/2 the cost of similar property per sq foot in developed countries (and many underdeveloped too). While US median income is about 2x as much. Plus the US has a 30 year fixed mortgage no other country has. They have to deal with variable rate loans, balloon payments, etc... And still homeownership in the US is one of the lowest in the developed world. Americans can afford homes...but not in addition to a couple $50k new cars, $400/mo for cable/internet/phone, couple vacations a year, $6 coffees, eating out several times a week, $100/mo gyms, and a river of Amazon boxes being carried to their home. And not too mention $30-150k student loan for Art History. This mass delusion and lying to each other will solve nothing.
A lot of the appreication has to do with investments from investment firms and wealthy foreign buyers. Albeit, there is a wealthy and even uber wealthy class in metro Miami, the vast majority of people are low-skilled, working-class people. By-and-large, the metro area is a region full of minimum wagers- the epitome of the haves and have-nots scenario. I used to live in Miami- I know firsthand.
I’m a Miami native trying to move back there after college. It’s not just the vacation rentals. Anything that isn’t ridiculously far out on the outskirts of the city, where it takes 45 minutes or longer to get anywhere of note, or ridiculously crappy a la new york studio apartments, is unaffordable to anyone not making 6 figures, and even some that do. You’re right that they showed the wrong work, but they did get the right answer.
