Is Now the Time to Buy in Sarasota Real Estate? Here is why it is a good time to purchase.
The number of people relocating and purchasing in Florida is 1,370 per day. Their 8 to 10 year plan is to be in Florida either part time or full time. Why? Florida has no State Personal Income Tax, Much Lower Property Taxes (ask about Homesteading a Florida property), Beautiful Weather, Glorious Beaches, Great Boating, all kinds of outdoor activities and is a Happy Place to be. And to say nothing of Covid Lifestyle Changes. That is why 21,000,000 Florida Residents live in Florida with 105,000,000 people visiting in Florida between January and May every year.
And yes, we are seeing property appreciation of around 25% per year, right now. Will appreciation continue? Yes, but not as high, probably settle back to 7%-12% because of Demographics, Inventory, Supply Chain Issues getting resolved and Higher Interest Rates. Therefore, prices are not going down with current low interest rate of 2%-3% and. the Banks are not giving any money away like 2004-2006. Everyone has to qualify for a Loan. No false financial leverage!
If you have a similar 8 to 10 year plan to be in Florida, then now is the time!
