Florida real estate broker: Sentiment is high, Florida is booming and so is conservation

I love the state of Florida and clearly, I’m not alone. Florida consumer sentiment is up eight points from last year according to analytics collected by the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic Business and Research. By the way, national sentiment is down more than four points.

With 1,200 people moving to Florida each day, the state’s population has surpassed 22 million. Last year it was the fastest-growing state for the first time since 1957 and by 2030, 25 million people will call Florida home.

Politics has played a role in the migration to the Sunshine State. Gov. Ron DeSantis has managed to make an already enticing prospect even more attractive to a lot of people. What’s amazing is with all this growth and development, our state leaders are desperately working to make sure Florida remains the paradise it is today and has been in the past.
