Growth in Home Resales, Prices Slow in September added by Staff on

@fedres — Developers will put their money where they get the “best” return — a combination of profitability and safety. With FSU on a ridiculous growth path lately there has been a focus on student housing. About 5 years ago (or so) the city offered subsidies/guarantees to an out of town group to come in and build student apartments. I was not a fan as I know quite a few folks in different aspects of real estate and/or construction and felt that the money should have been invested locally. As far as retirement condos, that’s not likely to happen until student growth slows or one of the local officials finds a friend in the business that they want to “invest” in.
Hope:
Have you seen Red Hills Village Retirement Resort on Coldwater, just south of the Walmart? Very nice. Way better than Westminster.
The “Zillow Effect”, if you saw their train wreck yesterday (“Wanna buy 7,000 homes we bought too high, because we thought we could flip them and cannot?”) has left the station, and is barreling towards the curve in the tracks at 78 mph.
Meanwhile, still har-haring over the near clean sweep in yesterday’s political races.
I hope the little socialists double down on their garbage for the 2022 cycle.
Tallahassee is terribly under serviced in luxury retirement facilities. Take a trip to South Florida to look at one and then come back and build some.
Can the builders in Tallahassee please construct some additional condominiums on the northeastern side of the city? The type of developments that would encourage more retirees to move into the city by including pools, hot tubs, exercise rooms and quick access to local hospitals.
If Tallahassee had something along the lines of those Century Village developments that are sprinkled throughout southeast Florida the city could easily become a mecca for retirees from throughout the country.
