💸Good video Katrin, I completely agree with you that Florida has become much more expensive to live in, pricing many people out of the state altogether due to the disparity between wages and real estate prices. 🏠Certain pockets in Florida are becoming uninsurable due to insurance carriers refusing to cover homes in those locations, posing a real issue for residents.
@@katrinstakeI was born n raised in in Miami,Florida in dade county hospital in 1976 but now I live here in Los Angeles,California I’m a real estate agent with my wife
Great video as always!! Moved to the Bradenton area about a year ago from IL and my TOTAL costs are still much lower in FL versus IL. I'm not in a flood zone (X:1/10), my house was built after 2003 and my homeowners/2 auto policy is through State Farm. Just received my homeowners policy renewal from State Farm and, yes, it went down by $120 with no changes to the policy. Love living here and never looked back!
I'm in the B'ton area, too. Moved here from NYC 16 years ago and I am so much happier here. Yes, there are costs that are higher than they were when I first moved here, but I still have more to show for my salary than I did in NYC. If I do leave B'ton, I would likely move inland, to a place with fewer tourists. But I do not see myself leaving Florida.
Good points! Florida sucks, you can't crap in the streets here. Your state is much better go back, you won't like it here. Canadians welcome, bring money. LOL Regards from Spring Hill.
Great Video ! Florida is expensive because it's worth it... I would never go back to New Jersey. I Homesteaded in 2018. My Taxes are $7,500 and my Insurance is $6,500 here in FL. The Taxes alone on the house I sold in NJ are $22,000 now. The NJ house appreciated from $500k to $800k since 2017. The brand new waterfront pool home in Florida appreciated from $700k to $1.4m over that same time.
It’s not cheap. Paid homeowners in North Port cost 4k. Home stead and said to tax lady so next year taxes will be cheaper and she laughed and said no double next year. It’s more than my old house in Connecticut and insurance is insane weather way to hot in summer. I’ll be moving back!
My Dad and I built a house there in 1979. Sold it in November 2023. This was a wonderful place for many years. THINK ! Do You Homework. Paradise to Survival, and it's not the Weather I'm Talking About. This a Tropical environment, severe to devastating conditions should be expected.
Miami is cheaper than NYC true. Also pay scales are cheaper to. I have always had trouble making a living in So. FL. NYC I always did OK. I had to work hard, but MIA I worked even harder with nothing to show for my effort. In NYC I would have to make a hundred sales calls to get 3 new clients. In MIA I had to make 500 sales calls to get pick up the same 3 new clients.
Everyone talks about the insurance “crisis” as if it’s a temporary thing. But it seems this is the new reality, a permanent paradigm shift, so only people who can afford it are going to be homeowners. The rest will move or just rent. Do u agree?
Thank you for another informative video. I want to move to Florida so bad! I was waiting for solutions regarding the home owner's insurance. But you gave me options, on how I can decrease my home owner's insurance. Thank you, Katrin!❤
Moving to Florida soon!! Selling my $600,000 home and moving to sunny Florida!!! I can’t wait!!!! All these people say don’t move there BUT NONE OF THEM ARE LEAVING FLORIDA!!! Lol see you soon!!
Yes they are leaving. $600k was good for a nice home and several years of comfort but too many came at once, drove up prices. Now you can get a decent home and look for a second job.
I hope you were careful about your decision. I have always maintained two residences. One in PA and one in FL. FL has changed. Everything costs so much and people’s stress levels are higher than 5 or 10 years ago. A year ago I sold my FL property and kept my home in PA. I was planning to do just the opposite. If you have plenty of money you will be fine. If you are cutting it close I would re-think it.
I've been waiting 4 years to move to Florida my husband is against it because of the wages are half than here in California and now homes have gone up so it's not going to happen for me 😢 I guess I'll wait for my son to buy a home and than go visit 😊
He’s right. Not many great jobs per capita. Mostly service industry which is what it always was and because minimum wage was low people could afford to live. Minimum wage goes up, people bringing cash flood the supply/demand. people used to be able to retire here
@Katrin. A homesteaded property is NOT limited to 3% increase in real estate taxes. The base value of the homestead itself cannot be increased more than 3% HOWEVER, the MILLAGE RATE can indeed increase and does, and therefore results on higher real estate tax increases. However, I agree that homesteaded is way better than not
I couldn’t agree more !!! And I kick myself DAILY that I could’ve moved to Tampa and picked this AWFUL not really the Fla vibe disgusting Jacksonville !!!! My car got broke into twice already !
This video could be summed up in 30 seconds.” if you know how to deal drugs, run scams, steal cars, and run a money laundering business then Florida is perfect for you”. Otherwise, if you have a job that makes less than $150,000 a year you will be living paycheck by paycheck in some of the worst areas where the sun don’t shine the same. As a matter of fact, you will only see the sun when you are headed to work as you will have to work 14 hour shifts and get out at night time.😂😂😂😂😂😂. Oh, yeah, Tallahassee and Jacksonville are dumps.!!!
All states, cities, counties have their dumpy areas, no exemptions. Saying Jacksonville etc. is a dump is untrue. You must have only been in its dumpy areas. Beautiful neighborhoods along with its natural parks are only some of its many attributes. Do your homework when looking to relocate anywhere.
@@tonikaye6734 I do business in Jacksonville twice weekly. Been doing it for 12 years. Hated it 12 years ago still hated today. Not my cup of tea. It’s a dump.😂
Florida in a nutshell- It’s joined Texas in banning counties and cities from establishing their own heat protection rules. The Florida law takes effect July 1. It also prevents local governments from raising the minimum wage beyond the state level. Florida is a basura State for workers rights and the working class in general.
I have lived in FL since 1981 over the years it has changed to be nothing but a cement crowded parking lot, well many want to enjoy the low taxes and the Awesome climate year round no doubt, but since 1981 Interstate 95 has been in constant construction as well as now Central Fl, besides this the cost of living is out of control in every aspect and since Republicans who ruled for 20 yrs nothing good has been done, the State Infrastructure has been ignored and now all they legislate is Far Right Bigoted Christian Theology like an American Taliban, if you love Religious dictatorship cmon Down , I am moving out in January 2025 due to all the BS and Will only miss the climate minus the Hurricane hell we fear six months out of the year

You cover a wide waterfront exceptionally well, Katrin. Another info-rich and fair video.
Thank you so much Jack. Congrats on the completion of your new home! Wish you all the happiness in your new place :).
Cape Corral is basically uninsurable. Too near the gulf and too low elevation.
I hear that they are having some challenges with getting insurance...
Lots of good info Katrin.
Thank you Edward!

It is tougher in South Florida, business-wise.
