Florida Real Estate Market Outlook

Today we talk with Ana Bozovic, founder of Analytics Miami, about her outlook on the Florida market using her analytical, unbiased, and data-driven approach. The focus for this episode is mainly on the residential market, from condos to single family homes – and we even discuss if climate change & sea level rise is having an affect on the single family home market in Miami Beach and other areas. An interesting take-away is that COVID-19 has accelerated trends that were already in place. Ana’s overall conclusion is that Florida will continue to grow and flourish as people continue to come to Florida to live.
