Florida's about to implode (2026 homebuyer warning)

Florida's housing crash just entered its 2nd Phase - foreclosures and forced selling. As we turn the calendar to 2026, more and more homes on Florida's housing market are being foreclosed on, and the results are huge declines in prices.

According to data from Redfin, the biggest investor exodus in Florida is occurring in Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Miami - in all of these markets, investor purchases are down 50-70% from peak. One big reason why is property taxes and insurance. The cost of owning real estate in Florida just climbed too high during the pandemic, and now investors and regular owners alike are pulling back from buying and also selling.
