Florida’s real estate market is about to get messy! That sounds like something the voiceover for a move trailer would say but it is actually happening in real life. We all know that Florida has one of the biggest foreclosure levels in America — which means in the world as well –, but few would have expected the problem to still be getting worse almost 5 years into the crisis.

This is putting an increasing strain on Florida banks as a growing number of commercial property owners are forced to default on their loan payments. Driven by declining rental income, empty storefronts and a general lack of available funds to keep their investments afloat in dire times many investors of commercial property are now costing banks millions putting them at risk of failing in return.

Is it a Great Time to Buy Property in Florida Now?
by OP-Mall on Thursday, August 14th, 2008 in Florida, North American Property

Florida has always been a popular playground for city escapees who want to enjoy the sun, surf and of course the popular Mojito cocktail, while they watch the sun set over the ocean. Living in Florida is about the lifestyle and having fun.
Despite the great attraction, Florida seems to suffer too from the global property melt down. Foreign investors aren’t as active as they used to be only a couple of years ago. According to a recent study by the National Association of Realtors, some 25% of foreign buyers were investing in Florida. On first inspection, this figure doesn’t seem too bad. But when we take into account that the overall number of sold properties has gone down, it becomes clear that the market in Florida has slowed down.
