Investing in Florida Investment Properties After Hurricane Irma

DANIA BEACH, Fla., September 26, 2017 (Newswire.com) - While the frightening news of massive hurricanes pummeling the southern coast of Florida may seem discouraging for investors, the rebuilding efforts of the Sunshine State have only improved with each passing storm. The devastation of the victims cannot be ignored; this may make it seem counter-intuitive to explore how it could benefit residents when investors choose to purchase properties in Florida. 

​Following the enormous residential destruction of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, South Florida adjusted building codes to bolster new developments against future storms. Now is a mutually beneficial time to invest in Florida properties after Irma. 

The relief effort in Florida has increased in capability and speed. Residents assessing the current damage have noticed the impact of new building designs following Hurricane Andrew (which were reinforced in design following Hurricane Wilma). 

The Miami Herald recently interviewed residents affected by the storm who reported many older homes built before the new construction codes were destroyed while newer homes overall appeared to have weathered the hurricane with less damage.   

Though it may seem people are less likely to want to live in Florida following a massive hurricane, time has demonstrated more people move into Florida than out. Approximately one-third of current Florida residents are native to the state and the patterns of moving in and out of hurricane-prone regions have had not made long-lasting adjustments. These areas appear to attract the same high number of new residents prior to the passing of a major hurricane. 

During the immediate three months following Hurricane Andrew, home prices in popular cities such as Miami and Fort Lauderdale increased. The reconstruction efforts which decreased the unemployment rate increased the existing home sales to 31% from the third quarter and 14.1 percent over the course of the year. Although the market experienced decreases during the recession, Florida remains among the most resilient housing markets in the country.
