>As counter intuitive as it sounds, there is actually a post-hurricane inflation of prices in the effected areas. Actually, my friend Ari is doing a study on this for his PhD. He's finding exactly that. -Z

re: What has amazed me is that even with the past few years of busy hurricane seasons that the real estate prices in FL have continued to go higher... I think the prices are leveling off, but that's not a result of the hurricanes. As counter intuitive as it sounds, there is actually a post-hurricane inflation of prices in the effected areas. And there is something like 2000 people a day moving to Florida. That's evidence of the boomlet I was telling Jake about......all the FEMA and insurance money having an impact. The people moving in......some of them at least......are moving there to take advantage of the boomlet.
