Steal a Deal in Florida’s Sinking Market

Right now, you can steal a deal in Florida’s sinking housing market.

Prices are dropping, homes are sitting, and savvy buyers are making moves. But this isn’t about luck—it’s about knowing where to look and how to play it smart. If you’ve been waiting for a crash like 2008, guess what? This is it. Except this isn’t just any market—it’s real estate in paradise. Florida isn’t crashing; it’s massively correcting, and that’s your golden opportunity. (I just made a video about this—watch it here).

In November 2024, the number of homes sold dropped 7.8%, while the number of homes for sale shot up 22.5%. The median days on the market? 69—up by 23 days from last year. Translation: sellers are sweating, and buyers are calling the shots.

Sellers are panicking, hearing the doom and gloom about Florida’s housing market, and thinking they need to sell before it gets worse. This is your chance to step in and negotiate a deal.

Yes, insurance costs are high right now, and that’s got some people hesitating. But Florida is the kind of place people dream about—the sunshine, the beaches, the lifestyle. Once the insurance situation gets sorted out (and it will), buyers will flood back in, and prices will skyrocket. Buy now, and you’ll lock in a deal before that happens.

Remember what Warren Buffett says: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.”While everyone else is waiting, smart buyers and investors are pouncing.

Big investors are already swooping in, snapping up hurricane-damaged properties at discounts, knowing full well those prices will rebound. During the pandemic, people rushed to Florida, driving prices up. Now, as prices correct, it’s opening doors for everyday buyers like you.

Here’s what to do:

• If you’re moving from out of state, rent first. Florida’s massive, with beach towns, golf communities, and bustling cities. Renting gives you time to find the perfect spot without rushing.

• Use a 30-day-on-market search. Homes sitting this long often signal desperate sellers, giving you the upper hand to negotiate below asking price.

Bonus tip: Look for homes with extras like newer roofs, block construction, or hurricane impact windows. These features can save you big on insurance and repairs.

This isn’t just a good time to buy—it’s an incredible one. If you wait for the media to tell you the market’s hot, you’ll already be too late. The deals are here now.
