The After Effects of the Economic Storm

That was in 2000 but today things have changed. Seven years later, the average home price in South Florida is almost twice the amount and with it comes many other baggage's like an increase in property tax.

The increase in the average home prices in South Florida were caused by many factors and today it is a super rich economy in spite of the Storms, the hurricanes, inflation, and taxes. Many of the South Florida residents are trying to adjust themselves to win the battle for survival while others have sold their homes and left. There are many more homeowners who have become a victim of foreclosures by state and are left with nothing, not even their homes.

The so called perfect economic storm has left behind nothing but a spate of foreclosed homes. Some of the top apartment blocks where homes were sold for $600,000 and above now bear testimony to people lined up for auctions and the same apartments are fetched at an average price of $210,000. If this goes on anymore, no one would be interested in looking at South Florida as the perfect haven and the real estate market will suffer from further downfall.

Experts have come and gone but the actual brunt of the Florida foreclosure homes are being borne by the homeowners, who bought homes here to fulfill their great American dream. What are left of the dream is just the ashes and most existing homeowners fear that the worst is yet to come. The number of foreclosure homes in Florida is actually higher than the statistical data projected by most companies because they have never taken into account properties with multiple liens. The state of Florida is whirling in a foreclosure mess.
