On the west coast of Florida. Any thoughts on the "condo cliff" that people are saying is looming? Does anyone think it is actually coming, and if so, what timeframe?

I think it's already here. My parents have a condo they want to sell, prices for comps have dropped $200k in the last nine months. My parents reaction is "prices are down because people don't want to buy condos due to the hurricanes and the structural problems with the concrete/iron so we are going to wait for prices to rebound" - I'm not sure they are gonna rebound. I don't know any of my peers (35-45yo) who are dreaming of a retirement on the Florida coast. I grew up loving Florida and the beach condo lifestyle but no way I'd touch owning one of those places now.

I tried to buy a townhouse on the water in Tampa over the past summer and it fell through. The townhouse was built in the 80s and classified as a condo, so don’t think the condo problem is just for high rise condos. They all have to go through an expensive recertification process now and most don’t have the reserves to pay for it. The bank won’t provide a mortgage either if it hasn’t been recertified. The selling Real estate agent will also not tell you about this until you are about to go under contract. The problem is already here and known but it will just be getting worse as people try and sell their condos.

Can someone give some more details on this? I’m interested in learning because I’d like to buy a condo as a vacation home in the west side of Florida in the future.

Wow

I revised my CTC from JPMC before joining. Now in 1-1 discussion my manager told very nice things about me but also told me that my CTC is already above market standards for my experience and tech stack. He told that they won't be able to justify my pay and gave me SOO. How much is the hike and bonus for SOO rating?

I miss them all so much. Some days just seem to be better than others.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
