2014 till now average family stays in home stats

Over the last 20 years a family housing move stats.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) keeps historical data on many aspects of homeownership. One of their data points, which has changed dramatically, is the median tenure of a family in a home, meaning how long a family stays in a home prior to moving.

As the graph below shows, over the last twenty years (1985-2008), the median tenure averaged exactly six years. However, since 2014, that average is almost ten years – an increase of almost 50%.

This is intesting stats don’t you think?

Especially in the last 6 years.

Does home ownership matter still in 2018?







Does Home Ownership matter to people, to communities, and to America? 
  • For every two homes sold, one job is created in the U.S.
  • Each purchase generates as much as $60,000 in economic activity over time.
  • .Some who care about creating jobs also argue that home ownership may be overrated
and that we might be better off as a nation of renters.
If that’s of concern to you, follow the debate about federal government incentives to homeownership—the outcome of which will determine whether the average American can still get an affordable -mortgage and whether homeowners can continue to deduct their mortgage interest as a benefit of homeownership.

Financing and Taxes

Home Statistics for past year: March 2017 rise 1.1 percent in March 2018

In order to continue to secure the benefits of participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for citizens of all Pinellas County Beaches cities benefit. It is needful for each City to comply with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements for renovations and additions in “AE” and “VE” Coastal High hazard zones. FEMA requirements affect existing buildings that were not constructed at minimum flood elevation when such buildings are “substantially improved”. FEMA has defined substantial improvement; as any repair, reconstruction or improvement of a structure, the costs of which equals or exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the market value of the structure either before the improvement or repair is started, or before the damage occurred if the building has been damaged and is being restored.

Security Deposit Questions. SEASONAL Vs a SHORT term Vs a LONG Term Tenant Tenancy Deposits


Security Deposit Questions.

SEASONAL Verses SHORT term Verses LONG Term, what should be the deposit?

This is a common question when renting out your home or condo.

LONG TERM Lease. Leases are required. Reference FLORIDA Statutes Landlord Tenant Act.
Best Practice I follow recommend is $50 less than the rent held in Trust for the Tenant.
Here is an example
Beachside Rental Online Rental application
Criteria required disclosed that needed for Long-term Renters.

SHORT TERM Tenancy is usually WEEKLY. Leases not usually required.
Most Vacation Weekly rental sites do 10% or $275- $500 a week.
HomeAway.com VRBO.com AirBNB.com
Most of these special insurance policies.
https://community.homeaway.com/docs/DOC-1605

SEASONAL TERM Lease is the 3rd Category.
In Florida, the Winter Season is the main season. Snowbirds come for up to 6 months.
Anything from 1to 6 months is Seasonal.
If Rent is $3,000 -5,000per month then Security Deposits are usually as low as $1000 - $2500.
These Deposit amounts are whatever a landlord decides. 
All deposits are governed by FL Law Landlord Tenant act.

Most Seasonal Rents are paid up front for the full term 60 days before the term begins.
A 13% Sales Tax is added to the Full Season Rent and Cleaning fee.
 A deposit holds it for the next year as an example.
AT BEACHSIDE RENTALS INC. these initial deposits and the full-term rents ( 1 month or 4 months ) are deposited but held in trust until after there arrival.
