Florida has 1.48 million vacant homes, and half of them, about 741,000, are sitting empty as seasonal or vacation properties, according to a Compare the Market analysis of Census Bureau data. The glut of part-time homes is putting pressure on year-round residents looking to buy or rent.

Sometimes buying a bigger home is better than adding a large addition to your current home. Sometimes it can trigger a property tax reassessment. It's something very important to consider financially.

Walter and Debbie Priebe renovated their Pompano Beach home in 2021, adding a second story to the house they bought in 2002 for $650,000.

The upgrade triggered a full reassessment, and by 2023 their annual property tax bill jumped from $15,000 to over $90,000. Florida law treats major improvements as new construction, removing protections like the Save Our Homes cap, which had limited annual increases in assessed value.

The Priebes appealed, but the county upheld the new valuation based on nearby sales, including all-cash offers topping $4 million. Their story underscores a growing issue: rising home values and outdated tax laws are making property taxes unaffordable for even long-term homeowners.

Some Canadian snowbirds who once flocked to South Florida for its warm weather are now feeling frozen out amid the ongoing U.S. tariff dispute, with some struggling to sell their properties. A 2025 survey by Royal LePage found that 54% of Canadians with U.S. homes are considering selling within the next year, largely due to the current political administration.

“The polarizing political climate in the United States is prompting many Canadians to reconsider how and where they spend their time and money,” Phil Soper, president and CEO of Royal LePage, said in a statement.

Is your state on this list? 👇

Frustration over rising tax bills has sparked a 2026 property tax revolt, with 13 states weighing proposals to eliminate or sharply reduce property taxes. Lawmakers are floating homestead exemptions, phased repeals, or full replacements with higher sales or consumption taxes.

Because property taxes fund schools, roads, and emergency services, replacing them would require major budget overhauls—and in most cases, voter approval.

States considering action:
Florida
Georgia
Illinois
Indiana
Kansas
Michigan
Nebraska
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
South Dakota
Texas

Looks like I may have a beautiful 2/2 condo with ocean and Intracoastal views from the 8th floor. It gets better, only half a block from the Fort Lauderdale Beach. Across the street from the W hotel. COA fee is only $860/mo. And it will be one of the only 2/2 units in the area under $1M!
Will look at pre list offers, if interested let me know and I'll get you pics and more information.
Thanks
