Accoding to Florida real estate expert Robert Paolini, unlike many real estate markets around the country, Florida is booming. In many cities there are construction cranes as far as the eye can see. They could even be mistaken for downtown Shanghai. It’s partly due to a long term population shift, with more Northerners moving for better weather, but it’s also being caused by runaway taxes in northern states and California, et al. Either way, it looks like it’s going to continue for quite a while.
