Funny you mentioned that. I have a ton of older relatives who have had their SoFla condos as second homes that they bought 10-25 yrs ago. Their boomer kids rarely if ever even come down here and many now debate whether they should continue owning.

Typical figures were purchase price for cash near $100k. Current market values near $400-500k with $20K plus a year now in holding costs even though they are mortgage free.

If this is the new trend we'll have a huge oversupply of condos flooding the market for years to come but a dire shortage of seasonal furnished rentals in the winter in the southern half of the state..
