Not even people in our government know what is going to happen next when the 2025 deadlines hit for all condos in Florida. One state representative is even warning condo buyers to wait until 2026 to buy a condo in Florida until all the dust settles. This is already becoming such a huge problem for the housing market and may end up spreading to other states.

I'm hoping there will be a housing crisis so I can .buy cheaply when I sell a few houses in 2025. As a backup plan, I've been thinking about purchasing stocks. What advice do you have for choosing the best buying time? On the one hand, I continue to read and see trading earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?

@markbajkowski1171 Месяц назад

@@davidhall3747 This crisis has three dimensions: lack of continuous safety control and enforcement, rapid investment opportunities in building construction, and condo buyers who love promotional materials and believe their buildings won't collapse in their lifetime. At the base of this issue is public safety. Two questions arise: why did these problems accumulate in the first place, and why isn't there a building safety rating system like there is for restaurants? In a booming seller's market, cost-cutting in construction is a strong incentive for builders seeking quick returns on investment. Requiring individual associations to address 40 years of neglect is not a wise solution. Perhaps creating a dedicated, efficient building inspection agency and a credit union functioning as an insurance company, all integrated into a single non-profit entity, would make better fiscal sense.

I have mixed feelings about the condo situation. On the one hand I do feel for the people who have to deal with these issues, on the other hand it only took over 100 dead in a building collapse to finally force condos, the boards, and the owners to do what they always should have, maintain their buildings. How many years have passed, and how many condo boards and condo owners passed the buck on necessary and important repairs to fix their buildings and make them safe. They all loved their property values going up and up, but they did not want to spend the money to have safe buildings. I do not like the government getting involved, but the condo owners, by their negligence brought this on themselves. Just by the catastrophic effects this new law is having, it shows that the problem of building maintenance was very wide spread and engrained in the condo community, and while I think the inspection companies may also be to overzealous in their inspections do to liability issues, there really does seem to have been a lot wrong with far to many buildings, and a lot wrong with to many condo boards and owners when it came to paying for repairs and having the reserves ready to handle them. When you have a culture of "pass the buck" someone gets stuck with an oversized bill in the end and that is exactly what happened here. I wish people, politicians, and business men would take this lesson seriously, but they won't and we will all suffer this same fate when the bill comes do for the decades of overspending, mismanagement, massive handouts, greed, and incompetence that are the hallmarks of our age.

That still doesn't help the condo owner who wants to sell in a panic market. People go into associations to spread the risk, but should be aware at time of sale the anticipated future assessments. The boards not addressing this on a yearly basis dug their heads in the sand avoiding the issue so as not to affect their popularity and force prices down on condo values.

It’s unfortunate that all condos in Florida are being affected by such wild headlines. For one thing, the structural engineering study and repair requirements are only applicable to condo communities that have buildings with three or more stories. There are many Florida garden-style condos/villas that are two stories or less. These are going to hold their value as long as the HOA reserves have been continuously fully funded over the last few years, such as the condo I live in. In ten years my contents insurance has gone up only 50 percent, about five percent per year, which is quite reasonable for Florida. Taxes on my condo have remained relatively steady due to the law that allows taxes to go up no more than three percent per years for Florida residents.

@piedpiper7051 Месяц назад

In the long run I suspect the well managed/funded 2 story condos will escalate in value. There will always be people, young and senior, that don't want to spend their time doing maintenance on a home and pool.

Well, that’s part of the point of the story I shared in this video. You can offer whatever commission you want. Just don’t expect anybody to show your house if it’s too low.

@wespotter6985 Месяц назад

My point was that the real estate Industry continues to lie to the public. That, that commissions are negotiable and that they have always been negotiable.But if you can't get representation at a Lower rate, Then there is no negotiation. Negotiation implies that the Agent might take less which is a total fabrication. I have nothing but contempt for the industry and the people who populate it.

@@wespotter6985 Totally agree!! It angers me every time I hear someone says it's always been negotiable, that's bs. I keep saying the same thing, the buyers agent does nothing for the seller except bring a potential buyer to table. So why do they continue to feel entitled to thousands in commissions!! It's ludicrous! I would think the seller's agent would be pissed as well, having the buyers agent get paid the same amount for not nearly doing the same level of work. The whole system is corrupted and lazy! The next lawsuit will be the unethical behavior by purposely not showing properties. I hope there are a lot of sellers out there that will step up to the plate and say no more. It's just not right or fair. The task of sellers paying for buyers insufficient funds should be over and done with.

I am a condo owner in Pinellas County FLA and our building built in 1980 waterfront on Boca Ciega Bay views of Gulf, 16 stories w/ 215 units has no assessments (never had one here) and quite a hefty reserve/financials are very good w/ a board that is highly competent and well run. Structural reserve study already done and in compliance because year-year all of this and the landscaped grounds have been kept up. Units have been selling when listed and not alot of listings available as well. I guess we are some of the lucky ones as it seems many of the condos w/ these issues are further south (Miami).

At least the agent that was there was honest about how the "real estate system" actually worked.. This was in Boulder CO and I would have thought that realtors would have had to be regulated and ethical.. NOPE..

@Tugela60 Месяц назад

Your agent is there to advise you on the process and to ensure all the proper paperwork and procedures are followed. They are not there to do a house inspection for you, you hire other people to do that. The buyers agent has probably never seen the house you have gone to look at. As long as one of the agents was there to escort you on the visit, that is all that is really needed.

Thank you Michael. I always enjoy watching your videos that cut through the sometimes confusing and not well defined new Florida condo legislation and NAR changes going on. I’m an HOA President in a small 33 unit 3 story condo across the street from the beach in beautiful Vero Beach Florida. Working with our management company we made sure we had an early start getting our SIRS and Structural milestone inspections completed before the mad rush to meet the 2025 deadline. Turns out our HOA monthly payment will be increased starting in 2025 as a result of the 3r year reserve study, but our structural inspection showed no areas of concern, but did highlight areas that need some attention (which we already planned to address). Anyhow, that is all thankfully behind us now but I agree with you that a lot of condos will be broadsided once these legislative items are addressed. It took us a combined 4 months to schedule these items and get the reports. Having these studies and inspections completed will also be a valuable add-on to any property description for anyone interested in selling in our complex. Thank you for your informative and easy to understand videos. Keep doing what you are doing.
