I have some sympathy for these folks. I lost money on a house I bought in 1985 or 1986 in Plano and sold in late 1987 when I took a job out of state. No fun to be the seller and have to write a check at the closing table.This is absolutely insane:

Since DOGE began discussing mass layoffs, the median home price in Washington DC has FALLEN by -$139,000.
In 30 days, nearly 4,000 homes have been listed for sale in and around Washington DC.
What is happening? Let us explain.

Given how fast the market has moved on housing as long as they have owned for a little while most are probably just fine.
Disagree
Market is in a free fall.
Same in parts of Florida.
If they bought 18 months ago they are likely fine and the "loss" is the loss of equity position. If they bought pre 2020 they should be really good. RE, in general, is overvalued right now.
And the market in Florida has shifted but it's damned sure not in free fall. If it was I would be posting from my place in Miami with a backyard pool and not from the living room while it's rapidly snowing out lol
Yeah I want a place in the Cuban part of Florida not the meth part of Florida lol (sorry I couldn't resist).
Tampa also has been destroyed a couple times in recent memory which can hurt values.
So I hate to be "that guy" but that's near impossible to answer. Best depends on what you like and what you want to do. It probably also depends on what you want for your million dollars.
Coral Gables is nice but it would be hard to get there for a million.
Take Old Cutler Rd south from Gables Estates to Cutler there are hundreds of homes that anyone would be proud to own.
Coconut Grove is historic and anything near Viscaya is quite nice.
Brickell is the younger part of Miami but that's downtown living a lot like NYC. Very walkable and there's a lot of stuff there. Would be a sky rise or a condo but a million would go a long way in most buildings.
Miami Shores/Biscayne Park is great money for value. Very suburban but still close to the water, you can be in Surfside really quickly.
Aventura is like DFW- specifically the Plano(ish) area. High end stuff everywhere. Pretty close Sunny Isles. Could easily get a realllly nice condo there for a million.
If money is no object Bal Harbour but you're not getting anything there for a million that's worth owning (in general). You're also across the causeway/intercoastal so if the water comes to you that could be a problem.
OK then.
1.5 million
Condo or townhouse gated
I do appreciate your time and will not ask any more questions.
Would be a disappointing move by Cotton. @ElbridgeColby is the sort of leader we need to reform DOD. https://t.co/MVvIWeROiK

Quote:
After being disrespected by the Canadian crowd, Team USA chose violence. They bullied the Canadian team for 60 minutes. They played a vicious brand of inspired hockey, and after Dylan Larkin gave them a 2-1 lead in the second period, they smothered the Canadians with tenacious checking and stellar goaltending. Team Canada had no answers.
Hey Canada, if you're going to boo the national anthem, you best make sure you have a team that can back it up on the ice!

This might be the biggest fraud in history.
This doesn't include the potential fraud from fake beneficiaries below age 100 (e.g., people in their 70s/80s/90s). By my math and adjusting for a normalized age distribution, this could bring the total amount of fraud to $793B per year. pic.twitter.com/Wqmab7mOW1

Biggest fraud of all being conducted by the American people. Rough estimates of fraudulent SS payments is somewhere around 250-300 Billion a year. LOL at 15+ million Americans over the age of 109.william said:

Will be interesting to see how much is fraud and how much is a lack of reconciliation with death records. How many are going to accounts to nowhere or never leaving the Treasury.

Same with frauduleant disability payments.

What do you do with the 80 year old lady whose husband died and she just used the money? Lock her up?
People seem real quick to go to Fraud now days. Mother in Law in Hospice and meds were not available Sister in Law screaming about fraud. How about waiting to see if you get a credit or mistake was made. Doesn't she realize that when she goes back to COL these people will be the ones taking care of her mother? Sure bet being accused of fraud will endear her to the staff.
If these are survivor benefits vs direct payments to the dead (unreported to SS), then I'm worried about the Musk team's algorithms on everything then.FLBear5630 said:Will be interesting to see how much is fraud and how much is a lack of reconciliation with death records.

How does letting them back into the G7 and reducing sanctions equate to Europe stepping up? Are you guys this obtuse?Married A Horn said:ATL Bear said:Yes, we got something in return.

We've now gone beyond Ukraine and are now conceding military and economic power in Europe and the globe.
