According to the forecasts of American economists, in the next 5 years, prices for villas, apartments, and townhouses in the United States will increase by another 8-10%. The price will increase the least in those states with high unemployment levels (New Jersey, Michigan, and Missouri). High growth in demand and real estate prices is expected on the west coast and in the easternmost state – sunny Florida.

Experts recommend purchasing housing for permanent residence or renting out in the resort towns of Florida – Miami, Miami Beach, Palm Beach, Hollywood, and Orlando. Property purchased for investment in Florida will generate a net annual income of 6-7% or more.

It should be noted that the number of floors determines the cost of apartments in Miami: with each floor, the cost of apartments increases by 10 thousand dollars. If an apartment on the first floor costs a million $, the same one on the twentieth floor costs 1.2 million $.

What is better to buy: an apartment, a villa, or a townhouse?

In the resort cities of Florida, various real estate types are for sale: apartments, condominiums, apartments, townhouses, and villas. When choosing an object, you need to consider its price, location, layout, technical characteristics, and attractiveness for potential tenants.

It is also important to remember that townhouses and condominiums have areas that all residents jointly own. Therefore, in some high-rise and low-rise residential buildings in Florida, residents establish their own rules for living. For example, it is forbidden to live with pets in several condominiums, while others do not welcome the delivery of housing for daily and hourly rent.
