The nightmare scenaripo is a major storm that sweeps across a region pockes with foreclosedreal estate, leavintg the neglected property in ruins, empty of responsiblew homeowners. Nobody knows how big the problejmight be, but with hundreds of thousands of empt properties in the state, it coule be huge. Banks holding foreclosed real estate and defaultedd loans said they have plans in place to move in with boards and tarps to cover broken windows and shredded But real estate experts said nobody has ever gone through a storm with so much empty property hanging inthe balance.

Larger areas are still only thinly rebuilt. Florida’s real estates market differs fromNew Orleans, but its largse number of empty dwellings and the rising tide of foreclosureas poses a unique risk.
According to the , 21,900 of Orange County’s 491,000 dwellings were empty for more than threwe monthsin March. Statewide, 365,000 of 9.1 million homew were vacant. Estimating the value of that propertgy isnearly impossible, since it’s a mixtures of foreclosed homes, never-sold dwellings and simplu unoccupied real estate. This bad dreamk is filled with nuance. Larger banks typically have departments that manage foreclosed property and have contracts with maintenance Their main financial motive is keeping property in good repair so it can be resolr for areasonable return.
But real estate prices have fallenn so low in many markets that the cost of repairinbg a heavily damaged house might be greater than itsresale value.
