4. Florida Is A Top State for Economic Growth
Labelle Florida land for sale has so many positives! According to the United States Census Bureau, Florida’s population growth over the last 10 years was higher than all other states (coming in at over 14% growth). Florida is also extremely attractive to remote employees due to its low cost of living and no state tax.
So, just think. Living or investing in Labelle, Florida real estate already provides a lower overall cost of living and then you throw in the tropical climate (which means there is growing season for gardeners and micro-farmers almost year-round) and you really have an ideal situation.Â
Many businesses owners struggle in colder climates because their services don’t thrive during blizzards and snowstorms. A relatively warm climate throughout the year in Florida, aside from the occasional freeze, provides new opportunities for northerners who are thinking of relocating.Â
And I’m not the only one who feels this way! Florida rank as one of the top states for economic growth in recent years. Florida’s GDP ranked at number four in the United States with over 30% growth between 2011 and 2021.
A growing economy is an indicator of a stable, appreciating real estate market. For small towns like Labelle, Florida and others in Hendry County, potential buyers can start their research by taking a look at the larger businesses in the area and whether they are thriving. It’s also smart to take a look at new businesses to the area in the last several years. Both can be indicators of economic health and growth. Â
Florida Has Consistent Population Growth
The city of Labelle’s current population is just under 34,000. Labelle experienced a 3.7% population increase over last year, and that’s a good sign.
Population growth is good for investors because it means that a strong demand for housing will continue.
On a state level, Florida is projected to add approximately 300k more residents per year, which will bring Florida to over 23 million by 2025. For a visual, that’s equivalent to adding another city the size of Orlando each year!Â
*Labelle Florida land for sale has substantially grown in interest over the last decade and continues trending upward!Â
5. Are There Any Negatives to Labelle Florida Land for Sale?
Without the right agent to walk you through the complexities and potential for error, there are definitely some things that could become a negative on your journey to own Florida land or a residential home on acreage.Â
Labelle Florida land for sale, things to consider:Â
Flood Zones:Â
Based on a recreated model of area flooding that took place during hurricane Irma in September of 2017, a total of 15 properties were impacted. This is a pretty low number for such a powerful hurricane.Â
Much of Labelle, Florida is in a flood zone that does not require flood insurance. It’s always good to have flood instance, but a requirement on all government backed loans is an indicator of potential risk factor, which, depending on your own risk tolerance (everyone has their own) this can be problematic, or not at all.Â
An experienced real estate agent will be sure a potential buyer has this informationÂ
High Cost of Insurance:Â
Depending on where you are relocating from, homeowners insurance may seem high in Florida. When you truly weigh out the pros and cons, plus the savings a Florida resident experiences just by being in a lower cost of living state, insurance costs may be more than we want to pay, but definitely not a dealbreaker.
Zoning Conflicts:Â
Another reason to have an experienced Realtor. You want to deal with someone who is already familiar with local government and zoning regulations. Your Realtor should have a full understanding of the income producing capabilities of the property, while being assured you are in alignment with local regulations.Â
What a mess it would be to purchase Labelle Florida land for sale and not be able to use it the way you originally intended.Â
We don’t have time for that kind of regret around here!Â
We will make sure you are equipped with the RIGHT information!Â
