Florida Short Sales Surge, Offering Pre‑Pandemic Prices
it's amazing how many listings in Florida currently have the word "Short Sale" in the listing description. Over 1,200 currently. I'm seeing some houses being cut in price as much as $100,000 to $150,000 from their 2022-2024 purchase price. These are situations where agents are openly advertising that the seller is in default on their mortgage and is trying to liquidate the property. Short Sales have risen over the last several years due to a downturn in prices in Florida, and low demand, combined with sky-rocketing costs for existing owners. Meaning it's actually a good time to get in there and start submitting low-ball offers in Florida, as on some listings you can get pre-pandemic pricing. Just make sure you understand if the market is going to drop further after you buy. https://t.co/50vYuH8G3u to see our 2027 forecast.
