The inventory is gone... The prices have doubled since they made the announcement. How does this benefit the employees who are in limbo?
Have you just gotten off a 6 month submarine deployment?

The housing market is crashing, dude…basically the same trajectory as the last crash. Only this time they can’t blame the borrowers.

Orlando is gonna have “great deals”

At the rate that people are moving here from up north? It is not going to go the same direction. It may effect the rest of the country but down here I don't think it's going to be nearly as bad as you're predicting.

They don't have to license running into a huge iceberg from Paramount.

And don't forget, 20th Century Fox holds the international distribution rights...

Simple construction delays caused by the current economic and supply chain situation is not interesting and don’t get clicks and advance a narrative that some may have.

The wild speculation of distwitter for example shows this.
Well see. Universal’s on track to finish an entire new park, and Disney can’t finish a generic multi use facility in that time.

Housing inventory ticked up in Orlando in May. We’ll see. It doesn’t take much of a change in demand to totally rebalance a market, and interest rates have gone from 2.5 to 6.5 percent in less than a year.

Itbis definitely slowing but the inventory is still very much lacking. We got lucky and bought a few months ago. We were able to snatch a house that the previous deal fell through because of an appraisal and the buyer didn't have enough cash. We still are looking at houses that come on the market though. We also have some friends who are in a higher range than us. They are looking at around 1.4M and they're running into issues as well. I just don't see a crash happening when people are actually wanting to come here still.

Here?

Ok…I got it now.

The Sunny states get crushed first, loudest and longest in a market…or any economic problem actually - crash.

I used to live in your neck many moons ago. Call me Nostradamus.

“Wealth” is still in the north and west…along with good schools, a public system and peace of mind. And that of course has warts too.

I always hope I’m wrong about these things…I really do. But it’s as sure as your skin melted in a 112 heat index today.

Oh…wow. I assume you’re set and in it for the long haul??

Deals of more homes for sale but less property taxes collected for ( ie Orange County , FL ) that impact funding County social services as an example.

I was actually hanging some wireless bridges at one our plants today. It was pretty hot but nothing a little break in the AC and a bottle of water can't fix.. I guess some people are just built a bit different? I came from Buffalo and have not been exposed to heat like this but it's coming up on a year since we moved so we've been through the worst of summer already last year and we are handling it better than a lot of locals.

You're assuming that there isn't new ongoing construction or that prices are going to remain inflated.

My realtor in Orlando is seeing fewer offers for the houses that are on the market, and houses starting to sell for below asking.

We've walked through many houses that were a joke. They were taking advantage of the market and tried selling way high. We still look at what's coming up for sale but it's definitely not a lot to pick from. As far as new construction? There's a lot of condos, even more apartments but new houses are really rare or verrrrrry overpriced.

Yes. We have wanted to move to FL for years. We just didn't have the opportunity to leave NY for various reasons. Then the pandemic happened, I lost my job with MLB, and we bounced back well here.
Enjoy and I hope your home is not your piggy bank. I took advantage of the boom and sold but couldn't wait to buy so I'm in a new place for an OK price.
I believe the rising interest rates will chill the market bringing buyers increased costs which will be pricing ~18M potential out of the 400K+ market so inventory will increase and the pool of qualified buyers will shrink. The prices will fall by half and that is the heartbeat of Florida. Happened three times in the 20 years I was there and I'm happy I could catch this last one and move a problem property without even planting a sign out front for more than I expected to get or thought it was worth.
Homes in Florida will ebb and flow but global warming is here to stay.
I got tired of hearing "record heat", "record warmth" or any other euphemisms for "too damn hot" so I'm out.

No, we aren't expecting to use this as an investment at all but I don't believe for one second that we will lose equity. We locked in our interest rate at 3.9 which is a touch higher than I hoped but it only took 3 weeks after to brush 6. We were looking at a rent increase of our apartment of 300 a month and it would have been higher than our current mortgage.
