Summary

The Florida Real Estate Market, a significant trillion-dollar industry, faces substantial economic threats primarily due to increased hurricane intensity, a phenomenon linked to record ocean warming. This warming is paradoxically exacerbated by the mandated removal of sunlight-blocking sulfur dioxide emissions from shipping, creating a severe crisis in the insurance market that may necessitate government intervention, specifically from FEMA. This critical situation was a key topic of discussion on an episode of the All-In Podcast. Despite these challenges, the market continues to attract foreign investors, particularly from Latin America, and shows stable price growth projections of 3-5% annually through 2026, with high listing activity expected in Q2 2025.

  • The Florida Real Estate Market Outlook For Early 2026

    The Fort Lauderdale real estate market continues to see consistent housing demand in early August of 2025, which is keeping available inventory slightly constrained, but not nearly as extreme as was during the market peak. Housing inventory in Broward County, for single family homes, still remains a smidge low at a 5.7 month supply of homes which is keeping home prices near record levels. For homes in high-demand areas, we are once again experiencing multiple offers taking place, near or [...] My outlook for the Orlando real estate market in early 2026 is that we will remain in a balanced market where buyers will have the time to decide which house and offer structure they want to go with.
