Even at those selling prices, they are way overpriced. Those first two homes should not have been sold a penny over $350,000 each. There’s a sucker born every day.

I’m in South Fort Myers guy in my neighborhood same house we have 2600 sq ft no pool listed 14 months ago at 685k. Through the last 14 months drops down to 535k. Just closed last week for 470K! Let it burn! This is just the beginning.

Question is if it was worth $250k 4 or 5 years ago, it still appreciated. Just means that 600k price was nuts and not a true price

Answer is about 350k and this is just the start of the correction. We have 15 more active listings in my gated neighborhood of about 250 homes. Lee County is close to record High inventory of active listings

The cuts aren’t insane. They are still inflated. Our country needs to make life actually livable for the majority of its citizens.

This is just getting started. Real estate corrections take five years from top to bottom.

Re: 4800 Turnberry Circle Northport condo Sold $190k recently: $410 monthly hoa. $3300 property tax 2023 My guess insurance $4k/yr. $12,500 per year even if you had this paid off in cash. The holding costs are the price of a mortgage in itself. Who wants those holding costs ? Especially if the hoa and insurance goes up. Maybe the price discount down to $190k is the right price to reflect this. Last year there were some starter new build homes at $280k in Lakewood Ranch near Sarasota. I’ve seen foreclosures in 2012 in ATL for $250k for 5500 sqft which were selling for $680k before the 2008 debacle. GA similar to FL markets they are like roller coasters.

I am an agent in Cape Coral :) Let's go shopping

2857 Maximo rd. North port, started at $379 just sold for $310!

A $162K villa, bought in 2017, sold for $192K in 2024. That is perfectly reasonable. The year in between, including covid, involved a lot os noise and extreme price gauging. I'm not convinced that there is a market crash. I just think that the market is correcting itself, thus elimination of the nonsense of the years in between.

They still seem to be about 2x what they were pre-COVID so I would expect another 40% over the next couple of years.

Been in the area 27 years have seen it all ,people buy homes with pools never use them its a status symbol, without the pool these are run of the mill Sw homes and would be 65,70 thousand less with out the pool

Awesome video. Wouldn't it be nice if sellers would get the memo that interest rates aren't at 3% anymore?

Thanks brother. Its starting to sink in. Really got dragged out with all the rate cut talk nonsense of the past 6 months.

I wish prices were like that in Venice.

First house is nice but I’m guessing the insurance would be extra high considering that water ditch so close to the home. I might be wrong, because ironically, the ditch is there to prevent flooding. 😬

It looks like investor money pulled out of the area.

Great update! We really liked visiting Punta Gorda last Jan. We will keep watching your updates 👍

That's what I was thinking.

"Barn Door - we gotta stop that" - too funny!!!!

Many owners took advantage of the people relocating from North. Any property worth what the buyer willing to pay. Interest rate also killing all market any how go any other state and compare equal homes.

1st house - $421 is cheap - that's a lot of house for the money.

Nice video. The short of the long is prices peaked in 2022 and are pulling back about 10 percent. I don't expect a "crash." But a pullback has definitely already happened. I am seeing "days on market" of 150 days to over a year from not educated sellers. So be it.

A lot of good information, still love Florida, still very desirable especially for snowbirds.

I gotta say that first house was nice. I really liked that place. That's what I am currently looking for. Literally. I am in the Largo area and looking slightly north , like Port Richey etc. Wife has to be able to commute in a reasonable time. Everything up here is flips (not good ones either) BnB's or 1000sf dumpsters that aren't fit for the homeless. Lot of places here in Largo sitting on the market for months at roughly the 550k price point standard 1960's 1500 sf 3/2's 1 car/no pool/no yard = no sale.

I’m looking for the same I’m in Dunedin but work often in largo and pasco county also. It is crazy how proud these home sellers are this side of the bridge. Once you get into Tampa area things are priced more logical. I don’t know what it is about Pinellas county but it is super expensive here.

I'm curious how accurate the Zestimates were before they sold. 🤔🧐

every sale drops the comps and brings the whole area back down - keep it coming

Hahaha "are you gonna show me the inside of the house?" I know, right?!😂

Absolutely love your videos Ben. Great job, keep it up. Amazing!

Beachfront is only worth it until the clouds roll in.

A dead dog isn't worth anything no matter its pedigree. After taxes mortgage and maintenance even a mansion is worthless. I sleep just fine at night in my little shack.

Another good video. Keep up the good work.

Considering living in this area but I'm concerned about the hurricanes. If I'm out of the flood zone and a tad bit more inland, how bad do the hurricane winds over the last few decades damage homes?

likely the $190k house owner died and their kids sold it cheap just to get the cash and get rid of the house

It's time ENOUGH Florida is out of reach since the pandemic

I hope you can do as well for us Ben, on a much smaller scale of course. Can’t wait to come down at th end of July!

A few observations. First, list price is meaningless. Sales price is all that maters. The market is littered with overpriced properties, so there will be a lot of price drops if people really want to sell. Second, in my area the actual median sales price is only down 1.2% year over year and units sold is up 12%, so that is not a "price cut" at all really. Even compared to the absolute peak of April '22 median price is only down 9%, and has run basically flat since the fall of '22. Third, Florida is still number 2 for total net inbound migration, right behind Texas, which ensures continued demand, so it's not likely that there will be a 'crash'.

The greed and selfishness of the real estate people reminds me of 2008. Nobody learned anything from the FRAUDULENT real estate market of 1992-2008. Oh well,WE WON"T BAIL ANYONE OUT THIS TIME!!!!

I would not buy a home in Florida in any circumstance. I live in SW Alabama and I am 90 minutes from Destin/Ft. Walton. I have 18 acres of land, 2200 SF 3 br, 3 bath home with a 40 by 60 out building with a 1 br 1 bath apartment and my taxes are $460 a year, assessed at $370,000. FLORIDA? No way in HELL.

2012 adjusted prices incoming :)

Great insight Ben❤. Things are dropping here in West Palm Beach. The buyers have disappeared and inventory is accumulating. In my community alone, there are 44 homes for sale, the prices continue to be cut. Only 2 have gone under contract ( in the past 2 weeks), yet 11 were newly listed. I never recall having that many homes for sale (in the 11 years I’ve been here). Prices are still overvalued. Appreciate your honesty and integrity 👍

Thank you, always appreciate the input! Inventory is wild right now. Its cooled down a bit by me from the winter months. We will see how summer progresses.

So these higher prices that include seller concessions get ignored. Yeah 11k over asking with 25k concession. Florida maff

For beachfront, you generally don’t own beyond your mean high water line, meaning you don’t own the land on the beach down to the gulf. Usually from the dunes to the gulf. That means a family can set up right in front of your “beachfront.” That applies to most of the Florida coastline. There probably are some exceptions. We always look forward to your videos!

No better deals i. Bi.

Talk to me when the house is like two hundred thousand dollars.

Seller listing houses with 2022 property tax hiding the 2023 property tax which is at least 1000k more than 2022 tax!!! Be careful buying. The property tax will be the assessed by the amount of purchase price 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

This is BS! Homes in this area are being sold at the right prices according to the areas where they are built. The more expensive homes have always sold. If you live in a dumpy area in SW Florida (and there are many!) then you get what you pay for, A cheap home. I've lived here for 20 years+, the selling price of my home has gone up every year.

I watched the "Big Short" again last night. Same scenario as then, but the modifiers on the sudden or rapid monthly expenditures has changed. Then it was a reset from the teaser rate, was the killer variable. Here, we have a combination of new tax assessments, outsized insurance premiums (many current mortgage holders will have these increases added to their escroll premiums) and HOA assessments (especially relevant for the condo dwellers.) Now, the wild card element (depicted as strippers during the show - (I wonder if that was an intentional housing hore reference)), today represented by the VRBOers, Flippers, and other investor types. As in, the show, not being able to constantly roll the debt, was fatal.
