Housing Market off the Charts

Unless your very well off better check out the real estate market before relocating. Most rentals are being condo converted and sold at an overinflated cost so that market is tight as well. We are Hurricane Alley in the Summer so if you don't like the weekly forecast suspense this area is not for the faint of heart especially if you are a home owner. Taxes rising, Insurance Rising if you can find it, better have a very good job and be bilingual before relocating. Traffic is a log jam in the Broward County area and if you commute to Miami forget about it!! BTW NEED A CAR TO GET AROUND. Stats on cost of living are higher than depicted on here.
I love the weather but only in the winter months. Summers are hot and rainy, lots of nightlife and things to do if you are in the air conditioning. However people don't generally know there neighbors here as transient lifestyle. There are many wonderful tourist areas but unfortunately Ft Lauderdale is for tourist. Those that live here love the weather period.
