Faced with unaffordable insurance rates, bigoted education policy, a science-denying state surgeon general, statewide homophobia, and Ron DeSantis, Floridians are anxious to ditch their property and move out of state, data from the real estate website Zillow shows.
According to Newsweek, nearly 5,000 listings of homes for sale in Florida show that the sellers are “motivated” to unload their houses, meaning they were willing to entertain offers lower than their stated asking price. By comparison, in California (which has twice as many residents), just 1,069 characterized themselves as “motivated” as of Wednesday; in New York, that number dropped to 424. Florida also had three times as many homes for sale according to data than California.
