Florida Real Estate Falls As Homebuyers Deterred by Higher Insurance Costs Home prices in Florida’s southwest coast are dropping, primarily driven by the steep rise in home insurance costs. This insurance crisis has led to a surge in inventory as potential buyers, particularly those looking to purchase winter homes, are deterred by the skyrocketing premiums. The Insurance Information Institute reports a 42% increase in insurance rates last year alone, placing the average insurance cost for Floridian homeowners at $6,000, in stark contrast to the national average of $1,700. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Leading Economic Index No Longer Predicts U.S. Recession -Conference Board READ MORE Markets on Edge: Continuing Coverage of Regional Banking Crisis READ MORE Zimbabwe Will Attempt to Create Gold-Backed Currency READ MORE Hoenig Cautions Against Expecting Three Rate Cuts Amid Economic Resilience READ MORE The Growing Shadow of Credit Card Debt: A Crisis Looming Over American Consumers READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
