Rental Inventory Will Remain Tight

With more people continuing to relocate to Miami, we can expect rental inventory to continue remaining tight throughout 2020 but the good news is that there are more multifamily properties that are being developed in the Miami area and once this inventory is released, it should help ease the demand for housing in Miami Florida.

Will The 2020 Election Influence the Economy?

Even though we have a major election coming up in November, the reality is that candidates from both political parties will be less than eager to “rock the boat” economically and this means that we can expect things to remain as they currently are throughout the rest of this year.
