Year to date, delistings are up 35% from the same period in 2024. The increase is partly due to the overall expans

Florida’s Cape Coral is currently sitting on the verge of one of the worst housing markets in all of America, and experts believe that the situation is likely to escalate further soon.

Speaking before the U.S. Senate this month, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that a decade or more down the road, homeowners in some parts of the country won’t be able to find home insurance. “Both banks and insurance companies are pulling out of coastal areas or areas where there are a lot of fires.
