FALL DYNASTY

"Predicting rain doesn't count. Building arks does." - Warren Buffett

It's officially fall y'all! October is right around the corner and filled with a fabulous locals-only vibe around town, amazing concerts, Oktoberfest celebrations, and so much Halloween fun! A lot has happened in the last three years with the U.S. housing market surging 49% since the start of the pandemic in 2020 - and more than $2.6 trillion over the past year alone, to a record $52 trillion.

Of the 6 markets where property values have grown the most since before the pandemic, 4 are in Florida - Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, and Orlando - helping the Sunshine State surpass New York as the 2nd most valuable housing market in the country. California, with more than $10 trillion of value in its housing market, remains #1. (Mansion)
