I've lived in Sarasota county back in the 1970s, and this was a problem then.. Left in 1979, returned in 2000, and it's still ongoing, on steroids. The influx of blue-staters has bumped real estate prices here on average around 20% in just the last year.

No State will be immune from price increases in this market. One good thing is that we just bought in PC and brought a bunch of Colorado money with us, and this place could use more money.

This problem has been all over Florida even before the Trump years. It exploded with Covid. We also had this problem in 2005...it didn’t end well for some buyers! I know of a property that could have been purchased in the low 100’s about 2010 and is now a Mil. It’s true value might be 400.

I just moved down here from Maryland, but I’m not bringing their sick, sad, woke, commie politics with me, rest assured. Go DeSantis!

Not only real estate.

Was bad enough not being able to go out to dinner - couldn’t park and wait for hours to eat. Then you couldn’t even order in where I am.

THEN a few weeks ago, we could t even place an order for pickup. Nobody was picking up their phones.

I’m waiting 6 months to dig a fkn well. Dropped my truck off to have work done - could NOT get a cab ride home...called everyone. Tires on my car took months, I was lucky to get them.

I could go on, but these MFers BROKE Florida. It’s unusable, and starting to piss me off.

Is that all?

Based on Internet home selling sites and the realtor who was involved in our purchase, in my area of AZ, my hideout has gone up 100k per year for the past 3 years. No joke.

Hard to believe? It is for us too.
