Florida’s real estate market is changing, but what should Realtors® and homeowners actually be paying attention to?Florida Realtors® Vice President Jeff Levine joins Miami and RWorld Talk to break down what he’s seeing across the state and why the future of Florida real estate may look very different depending on where you live and work.We discuss why there really isn’t one “Florida real estate market,” how affordability continues to shape the conversation, and why home prices are only one part of the equation. Insurance, property taxes, interest rates, and the overall cost of homeownership all play a role.eff also explains why relationships may become even more valuable as AI gives consumers access to more information, how Realtors can use AI to become more productive, and why technology still can’t replace trust, experience, and human connection.Plus, we discuss Florida’s Amendment 3 proposal and the broader conversation around property taxes and housing affordability.What is the biggest change you’re seeing in your local real estate market right now?Let us know in the comments.Chapters:00:00 Welcome & Intro 05:43 Affordability Drives Demand07:25 Relationships Beat Tech09:27 Gen Z Wants Humans11:07 Longevity Through Referrals12:27 AI As Your Assistant14:11 Validate AI Outputs15:04 Verify AI Sources15:23 Sponsored Results Trap16:14 AI Search Visibility16:57 Original Content Wins17:18 Master Few AI Tools18:52 Future of Affordability20:11 Amendment 3 Explained22:01 Taxes, Insurance and PITI25:07 Local Control and Education26:59 Wrap UpFOLLOW US:Instagram: @miamirworldtalkTikTok: @miamirworld.talkWebsite: https://rworld.com/LISTEN ON AUDIO:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6TFUYs7cTWw539wUD7aLkE?si=79cdc73ede2f4828Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rworld-talk-south-florida-real-estate/id1671206655#SouthFlorida #Realtors #RealEstate #FloridaRealtors #FloridaRealEstate #SouthFloridaRealEstate #Housing #Affordability #HousingMarket #Market #Trends #Realtor #PropertyTaxes #Homeownership #AI #Technology
