Florida Condo Market Crisis? Or Just Another Timeshare Trap No One Wants to Admit? 🏚️

Florida Condo Market Crisis? Or Just Another Timeshare Trap No One Wants to Admit? 🏚️

So, Marianne Garvey drops this bombshell article claiming baby boomers are stuck with worthless condos nobody will buy. Prices so low you’d think you could snag a beachfront mansion for a credit card swipe.

Sounds wild, right? Except—hold up—most of these “steals” are timeshares. Yeah, those vacation scams nobody under 50 wants near their bank account.

And the “affordable” condos with waterfront balconies? Surprise: They come with a non-refundable $85,000 initiation fee, mandatory yearly memberships, and a food budget you have to spend — including paying for the employees’ holiday bonuses. Because nothing screams “investment” like involuntary charity!

Marianne tries to pin the blame on Florida’s new safety laws, saying that’s why these condos are “worthless.” But anyone with half a brain knows it’s not the laws— it’s the fine print trap nobody reads because, duh, who would willingly sign up?

So here’s the real kicker: Is this lazy journalism or a masterclass in misleading headlines? Either Marianne didn’t bother to check the fine print, or she knew exactly what she was doing.

The truth? People aren’t avoiding these condos because their property “has no value.” They’re avoiding them because they know the trap, and nobody wants to buy a timeshare disguised as a deal.

Moral of the story: You can talk about real estate woes without lying, but apparently some folks prefer the clickbait route.
