The lure of Miami
The Miami metropolitan area was already a draw even before Covid, with its warm weather, white-sand beaches, and absence of state, though not federal, income taxes.
It is a sophisticated, cosmopolitan and attractive city for European and Latin American investors.
But the pandemic has made Miami even more of a mecca. Strict stay-at-home rules in other parts of the United States and the rise of working from home for a company that may be far away has prompted many to move to South Florida.
They came in droves from northeastern cities like New York and Boston, as well as California, finding cheaper rents and Republican politicians eager to get the state economy back on track after the ravages of Covid lockdowns.
“They started coming to South Florida in droves,” said Jennifer Wollmann, president of the board of directors for the Miami Association of Realtors.
“Our climate, business-friendly state and open spaces are very attractive to people who come from cold and closed states,” he said.
The effect quickly became apparent. People with jobs better paid than the going rate in South Florida caused home prices to skyrocket.
A study published in December by Realtor.com said the Miami metropolitan area saw the steepest rent increases in the United States last year.
The real estate portal RealtyHop says that Hialeah is the fifth least affordable real estate market in the United States. A median-income family looking to buy a home there would have to spend nearly 60 percent of their annual income on that purchase.
