Uninsurable homes are selling for all cash at a deep discount​

There’s an incredibly risky two-pronged trend in the housing market. Insurance companies are refusing to cover properties because they’re located in severe weather zones or because the housing stock is old.

After I bought my last house, I looked for insurance, but the local dealer gave me a "F U GO AWAY" price.
I know the insurance industry is always taking more than they are giving. They are parasites, sometimes they are closely clipping corners and not a bad deal, and sometimes they are trying to take your money for the minimum payout.

Here, it looks like the insurance companies may be following resale value, and their estimates may be actually based on reality. Who has an opinion on this?

Philadelphia’s office buildings have lost over $1 billion in assessed value​

The assessed value of Center City office buildings fell by over $1 billion in recent years, the Office of Property Assessments (OPA) reported to City Council on Monday afternoon. That spells trouble for the City of Philadelphia’s tax revenue.

The assessed value fell from $9.82 billion in tax year 2023 to $8.78 billion in tax year 2025, OPA stated, amid persistent office vacancies and recent transactions that have seen buildings selling for far below their previously assessed value.

“There are a lot of buildings in Center City that are considered to be distressed, and a number of buildings that are in bankruptcy,” said Councilmember Jeffery Young Jr., who called the hearing and represents much of the Center City office district. “Our tax base depends on Center City.”

Center City’s vacancy levels have been around 20% for over a year — more than double pre-pandemic rates — as many firms downsize their office space for the era of hybrid work.

That means lost taxes on food and beverage sales downtown as well as less wage tax paid by workers who live in the suburbs and a smaller service sector workforce. Real estate transfer tax dollars downtown have shriveled, too, as few buildings have changed hands since the pandemic and those that have commanded substantially smaller asking prices than they did when last sold.

It's Time For EVERYONE TO DECIDE WHAT YOU BELIEVE...​

Oct 6, 2024

The most recent jobs report has been the most suspicious one all year and it's timing couldn't be more suspicious with the election one month away. It's time for everyone to stand up and decide what they believe. Do you believe these phony government numbers that are constantly revised downwards in the coming months or do you believe what you see happening with real people and real businesses today? That's the real economy.
