Hello, I’m Katrin 😊. I love helping customers achieve their real estate goals through an insights-driven approach. I’ve lived in 3 different countries. 13 years ago, I moved to Sarasota, Florida from NYC. I have experience leading mktg teams in Fortune 500 companies & startups before transitioning into real estate.
I became a realtor because I have a passion for real estate (having bought & sold homes many times) but often felt I didn’t receive the best representation. My mission is to provide you with the most honest feedback within legal and ethical guidelines. When I’m not assisting customers, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors with friends & family. I’m an avid cyclist & world traveler always wanting to learn more.

For anyone considering moving to Florida and has a concern about alligators, remember lizards are baby alligators that are freshly hatched. They will double their body length every 4 days until they get to around 8 feet. So if you see a lizard, you're really seeing a baby alligator. Stay safe out there folks!
Excellent information!
We’ve lived in Daytona for six years and love it. But how come none of these lists include the mostly pro-gun stance here? And now, we have almost but not quite constitutional carry. That’s one of the things I love about being here. It’s a HUGE plus that too many overlook. 👍🏼
I just vacationed on the east coast of FL. It was very hot and humidity was stifling. The heat isn’t too bad as it is July. But humidity is unbearable. Add all the fees, unaffordable insurance if you can find it, out of control HOA fees, and high RE proces/taxes, no change of seasons and you can’t afford it. Its high cost is rivaling a fascist blue state. Nice place to visit.
Beautiful beaches full of sharks
No no no there’s nothing but snakes and Gators here the sand is hot as hell and the skeeters will carry off small Yankees. No more swamp to fill in to build on. Oh damm hurricanes!!!! The last native to leave Miami bring the flag please.
Most of these home prices are largely dependant on out of staters buying these homes. Fact is, 2/3 of the workforce population is still making under 50k a year per individual. Everywhere you shop and eat, ask those people how much they make. Or even those that do lawn care, or the average delivery person. Most are well under 50k. 50k or less wont even get you a decent apt here in swfl, unless you're sharing with someone with a second income. Hell, ive even seen apts in the middle of nowheresville fl rents higher than what the average person makes for that area. Its a shame. The balance is way off.
Might be the best review of Florida I’ve heard (especially point about “getting local” and the proliferation of KZreadrs that focus on quantity of videos (and not quality )
Thank you so much 😊
santa fe new mexico.👌🤘
Katrin, you are a very talented producer/ writer/ editor of arts and cultural programs. Your stories provide great overviews and your presentations have very positive energy to them. Did you ever consider being a producer / reporter on full time?
Many, many of those rust belt emigrees who move to Florida can best be likened to lemmings who blindly follow the ass of the animal in front of them...wherever it might lead. The question I have is, 'Do I feel sorry for the lemmings when they disappear over the cliff ?' What do you think ???
Another great video, Katrin. Palmetto was on my list. I am planning a first time visit to Palmetto next year to see if I would like to move there.
Do yiu know local tiny home builders in your area?
Florida is sinking and affecting home insurance prices everywhere...😮
The only area Florida is cheaper than Cali is housing/rent, but now not by a ton. Everything else is either the same or more expensive in Florida. Insurance for sure is more in Fla, think food is too. Florida has become very expensive, not a bargain any longer, plus insufferable humidity and bugs. Low humidity, low bug Cali is the real paradise.
We have a Florida real estate broker of over 25 years in the family. She would easily confirm that the market is all but dead. The current listing prices are way too high. Insurance and taxes are insane. The deviation between median income and median home prices is simply too great to bear. How many working people have 3.5k after taxes to pay for an average home in Florida?
Those people are unfortunately pushed out of the real estate market :(.
I'm in Chicago and Ive been reading a lot about builders of complete neighborhoods walking away from unfinished projects in Florida to cut their loses. Apparently the migration to Florida has settled and certain builders have overestimated the demand.. Normally I would brush that off as something probably isolated to one county or city but then I saw a list showing 5 of 10 of the fastest depreciating places are in Florida .. I can't speak on anything but I'm just throwing that out there..
many condos will see huge assessments coming their way as buildings look to remain compliant with the new surfside bill. Property insurance, or the lack of getting one, should also be a deciding factor when purchasing real estate in Florida. Insurance premiums alone, and the changing climate conditions are driving people to sell.. Plenty of new construction and congestion taking its toll. All things to consider.. Florida no longer what it used to be..
Realtors still “unsure” if the market is crashing. Meanwhile all houses in my area are sitting on the market for months and prices are being reduced like crazy. One I’ve been monitoring was reduced by 100k!
Where do you live?
The inspections will become the next scam. Think about it. If the crooks want to generate monies all they have to do is generate a bad inspection report and the condo owners are stuck paying. A scam for years to come.
No one wants to buy a condo or hoa where you are subject to a 100,000 special assessments at will. 300,000 dollar condo is really only worth 150,000 due to an expected 100,000 special assessments fee.
This lady reminds me of The Big Short. It's just the gulley.....it's just the gulley
she thinks NPR is right down the middle....hilarious!!
People in Miami Beach are paying $200,000 dollars in assessment. That's ridiculous👿👎. On top of 1500 dollar dollars a month.
It’s because investment companies have continued to snatch up homes. That’s what is causing the demand.
And soon facing what weather experts say may be one worst hurricane seasons on record , and another hurricane like andrew hits , that will exasperate the end of already nearly unaffordable homeowners insurance as even Florida Governor Desantis has said citizens( alternative government insurance for hard to place risks ) is nearly insolvent .. so the question is this may be what is the " last straw" before the crash .. and florida homeowners and what's left of insurers sell for what they can and flee florida
The bubble is bursting!!! Total crash in home prices...
Why do you think that?
Where in Florida the market is crashing 😂😂😂
it's a bubble.. too many variables that are not under our control.. Higher prices, interest rates, lack of insurance providers, weather/climate change, congestion, crime, etc pick one.
Good! Don't let the doorknob hit you in the ass on your way out.
Actually, one individual leaves as two take up residence. The states overall population has increased simarly for 5 decades. Florida still draws thousands to be relieved from high taxes and to find milder weather. However, your value to employers will determine your income and its expese here. We have several friends here who wished to relocate to other states but found that expenses and home housing costs were as expensive, and building restrictions made it impossible to relocate. The grass is not always greener across the state line!
I’m still seeing 2000 sq ft houses in rural Parrish FL going for $500k to $600k, which is just crazy high.
Why are people selling? Is it high crime locations?
A lot of reasons. Snowbirds are selling, downsizing, leaving state, moving to another location etc.
Single home for sale by owner HOA 52% monthly no realtor involved on zillow FSBO (1074 hamlet dr maitland Fl )
Don’t listen to her. Condos in Florida is a joke. Florida used to be affordable. Not anymore. Prices is Florida will drop 30-50%
Dummies should have bought bitcoin!!!! Not overpriced Florida real estate. You guys had it backwards…again.
Another person who has no idea what she’s talking about
Nicely and fairly done! Summers Suck!! Insurance prices are going up exponentially. However… I’ll never go back to the people’s republic of NY. We’re here for life.
I love these videos. These people seem to think that the housing markets gonna bust. You’re trying to force the housing markets to bust yourself, but it’s never gonna happen. It’s done welcome to the million dollar homes it’s never gonna change.
I never said the market will bust anytime soon in FL. ;)
Nope, prices still good in Bonita. Building strong
Great video (as all videos done by Katrin). Personally I am not looking to time the market and get the house as cheap as possible. All I want is a perfect forever house. Finding an agent that will listen and actually find what I want (as opposed to trying to just make a sale) is what I need. For sure will be reaching out to Katrin soon (just need to figure out the timeline for the move).
Thank you for your very nice comment. Timing the market is difficult and that does not seem to be your goal. I would love to help you find your forever home. Take care.
I think the giant confederate flag at the entrance to the state should tell you about the intellectual acuity of its residents. No thanks
Lived in Florida for 8 years due to job transfer. Counted the nano seconds til I could escape. Thinking of moving here ? Do this test first, sit in a sauna for 24 hours and if you find that enjoyable then go ahead and move
Why any woman would vote for a Republican just amazes me at the stupidity
Thanks Katrin for your expertise ❤.
Thank you for tuning in and your kind words. Do you go by NeeNee?
@@katrinreal yes 😊
Florida isn't worse than any other place worth living in. It's expensive everywhere!
Wow, how will average locals survive? Rich people only? A a deep correction or crash would be a good thing. Not doom. Condos are going down. Declines take awhile and its logical to assume it will. If it doesn’t , FL will be the new California. That is doom and gloom.
It’s the economy.
?
Thank you for being the first realtor that I’ve actually seen acknowledge that a hurricane hit Cape Coral and that’s why that anomaly exist
Thank you for your kind words ;)
Its all about JOBS JOBS JOBS. Unemployment needs to spike to ar LEAST 7% for any meaningful price declines.
👍
my view, world is a different place than in 08, men couldn't have babies back then. Inbound migration has not stoped, slowed, but not stopped. Bordain said it best - good is good forever. Good homes will stand out in a high inventory market and still go, Sure, there maybe 4000 SFH listed, but after you narrow them down to what you want, maybe 5-10 and those 5-10 will go fast and go high.
