Florida’s housing market was one of the hottest during the pandemic, driven by the state’s appeal to remote workers, retirees, and investors relocating from high-cost states like New York and California. These buyers were seeking more space, lower taxes, and lenient COVID restrictions. Between March 2020 and June 2022, home prices in Florida surged by a remarkable 51%.
Demand remained high during this period, which kept inventory levels low. However, Florida’s inventory is now dwindling for a very different reason. Experts say the decline isn’t due to renewed demand, but rather rampant delistings and fewer new listings. According to Zillow data, home prices have dropped about 5.4% year over year.
“Low prices and low demand are making people who aren’t in a hurry simply withdraw listings rather than sell at a low price,” explained Alexei Morgado, a Florida real estate agent and founder of real-estate exam prep company Lexawise, in an interview with Fortune. “Inventory is down, but not because of big sales, but rather because of delistings and slow demand. So it’s all a mixed bag.”
Data from Realtor.com in August highlights this trend. Some parts of Florida saw nearly 60 homes delisted for every 100 newly listed homes. Miami had the highest delisting-to-listing ratio at about 59, followed by Tampa at 33 and Orlando at 28.
Overall, the number of single-family homes for sale in Florida fell from more than 100,000 in the spring to about 96,000 after years of rapid growth, according to Simonsen, founder and president of real-estate analytics firm Altos Research.
This downward trend is a signal that the market is “clearing out” would-be sellers, said Jenna Stauffer, a Florida-based real-estate broker and global real estate advisor for Sotheby’s International Realty. According to Stauffer, those who needed to sell have most likely already done so, even if it meant lowering prices or offering concessions.
Stauffer describes the current pullback as “healthy” because it helps reset home prices and balances supply and demand. “It also shows that sellers are becoming more in tune with market conditions,” she added.
### Is the Florida Housing Market Crashing or Correcting?
While experts acknowledge the major changes occurring in Florida’s housing market, they insist these shifts are not indicative of a crash—a swift and severe decline in prices driven by an imbalance of supply and demand. Instead, the trend of declining inventory reflects a market correction.
“Higher inventory had been putting downward pressure on prices and giving buyers the upper hand,” Stauffer explained. “Buyers had so many options, no urgency, and plenty of time to negotiate.”
Now that inventory is tightening, the market dynamic could start to shift. Buyers may lose some of the leverage they previously held, while sellers could regain “a little” power.
Stauffer emphasized, “It’s not a crash in Florida, but a reset. Sellers have to recognize that this is a different market than a few years ago. Demand isn’t the same and supply isn’t the same. It’s forcing everyone to a more realistic middle ground.”
### What Does This Mean for Buyers and Sellers?
Alexei Morgado advises caution for sellers in the current market. “It may not be the best time to sell your home in Florida,” he said, “but it could be the right time to buy.”
“If you must sell, of course, go ahead,” Morgado added. “But if you can wait, wait. And for buyers: You can get a good price, with lower rates and discounts, so take advantage of that now.”
As Florida’s housing market continues to evolve, understanding these shifts can help both buyers and sellers make informed decisions in an ever-changing landscape.

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton, who served during the first Trump administration, was indicted this week in federal court in Maryland. The eighteen crimes the grand jury says he must stand trial for are all related to mishandling classified material in violation of the Espionage Act.
While many critics denounced the prosecution as payback from Trump for Bolton’s disloyalty, it was the Biden/Garland DOJ that started the investigation yielding the indictments.
Bolton once said, “Off with their heads!” referring to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who was charged with breaking the same law. “I hope he gets 176 years!” he added. The infamous war hawk also said Chelsea Manning should be put to death. Manning, who later changed their name and gender expression to Chelsea, gave WikiLeaks thousands of classified documents and was convicted of violating the Espionage Act.
Bolton’s indictment marks quite a reversal of fortune. He was at the very top of the United States’ security establishment for a year until Trump fired him. Then Bolton became a prominent administration critic and, from the MAGA perspective, a disloyal danger. This was established with the publication of *The Room Where It Happened*, a memoir Bolton penned.
The book is searingly critical of President Trump: “[H]e has no political philosophy, and does not have ‘policies’ as conventionally understood. Searching for policy coherence is fruitless, since he cares almost exclusively about his own interests, and refuses to take responsibility for decisions he makes that go awry.”
Trump revoked any security clearance Bolton may have held via an executive order issued in his second term. Because James Comey and Letitia James have also recently been charged by the Trump/Bondi DOJ, it’s been easy for critics to lump in Bolton and say it’s all Trump settling scores. After all, Trump did initiate an investigation into his former appointee over the tell-all book.
CNN, however, reports that multiple sources claim these investigations were separate.
### Breaches Aid Iran
If the indictment is accurate, Mr. Bolton created electronic files with classified information on them in violation of the law. Then those files were accessed by Iranian intelligence, who hacked Bolton’s personal email account. He’s also charged with compounding the damage by not reporting it.
After news of the indictment broke, President Trump commented: “He’s, you know, a bad person. I think he’s a bad guy.”
While the Trump administration may not have initiated the chain of events leading to this indictment, it has run with the ball to bring this prosecution forward.
### Is This a Political Prosecution?
Does that make it a political prosecution? We need to recognize all prosecutions as political. That’s why we elect District Attorneys, and why United States Attorney General nominees get such scrutiny.
We Americans live under thousands upon thousands of laws and regulations, creating near-perpetual criminal liability. Then all that matters is that your side wins, and you can put the other side in prison.
### Who Is John Galt?
Ayn Rand wrote a scene in *Atlas Shrugged* in which a not-so-petty tyrant explained the value of innumerable laws where full compliance is impossible:
> “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone?”
Are we there yet in this country? Yes.
The phenomenon was laid out by a giant in civil rights litigation, Harvey Silverglate, who co-founded the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression:
> “The average professional in this country wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague.”
Mr. Silverglate’s words were published in his 2011 book *Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent*. Sadly, things have only gotten worse.
Mr. Bolton and Ms. James will suffer terribly expensive and invasive ordeals as they fight to retain their liberty — as have Mr. Trump, Mr. Bannon, General Flynn, and others. Perhaps, as the gander gets goosed, they can all flock together, embracing our founders’ vision of liberty.

City Council members received a detailed resolution on October 1 outlining the first year of spending for Mayor Cherelle Parker’s Housing Opportunities Made Easy, also known as the H.O.M.E. Program. The Annual Program Statement and Budget contain plans to distribute the first year’s funding to build and repair housing across the city.
Some of these programs have expanded their area median income (AMI) eligibility to allow more residents to qualify for assistance with costly repairs or to become first-time homeowners.
Angela Brooks, the city’s Chief Housing and Urban Development Officer, spoke with *The Tribune* on Friday. She noted that much of her role involves community engagement. Residents have asked about the increased AMI thresholds on programs, and some have expressed confusion about the One Philly Mortgage, with some thinking the city is starting a bank.
While the H.O.M.E. Program features many elements and specific output goals are still in development, Brooks emphasized the scope and scale of the comprehensive housing strategy designed to address numerous challenges.
> “It will expand all city neighborhoods, income levels throughout the housing continuum,” she said.
> “This housing crisis will not just be solved by focusing on one component over the next, but that also makes it the most difficult because we are comprehensively trying to solve a housing crisis over all those things.
> “It’d certainly be way easier if we were only focusing on one, but the mayor has an ask,” Brooks added. “She’s set ambitious, achievable goals and we’re tasked to meet them, and I think this plan will do it.”
Brooks explained that part of the reason for few quantitative goals tied to this package is the fluidity of the numbers. City Council members have a 60-day window, starting October 1, to review the legislation before it is introduced, though they may engage with it before the window closes. As has happened in the past, program allocations and the overall budget are likely to change during negotiations.
The most current copy of the legislation obtained by *The Tribune* shows that the largest allocations will go to programs supporting existing properties.
### Major Program Investments
– **Affordable Housing Preservation Funds:** With the biggest investment of $37.5 million, this program provides financing to developers and property owners for improvements and for the acquisition of rental units at risk of being converted to market-rate units. Eligibility targets households earning 60% of AMI or less.
– **Basic Systems Repairs Program:** A popular option helping homeowners fix repairs involving wiring, plumbing, leaky roofs, or broken heaters, this program will receive nearly $34.8 million. Residents earning up to 100% AMI qualify for assistance.
Regarding the **One Philly Mortgage Program**, which partners with lending institutions to offer 30-year mortgages featuring lower down payments and interest rates, Brooks shared a ballpark figure. The program covers the need for private mortgage insurance and is available to residents earning up to 120% AMI. With an earmarked $25 million, the city hopes to enroll approximately 2,000 new participants.
### Councilmember Reactions
Councilmember and Committee on Housing Chair Jamie Gauthier praised the proposed budget:
> “I am encouraged that the Mayor’s proposed budget for the first year of her H.O.M.E. Initiative reflects several changes I championed this spring, especially around strengthening home repair programs,” Gauthier said.
She added that with the Council’s 60-day review period underway, she looks forward to working closely with Mayor Parker, Council President Johnson, colleagues, and the community to thoughtfully review and refine the proposal.
> “As I have emphasized from the start, addressing our city’s housing crisis means seizing this historic opportunity to support the 200,000 households earning under $30,000 a year — families who are just one maintenance emergency or rent hike away from homelessness,” Gauthier said.
### Support for Renters and Prevention Programs
The plan also includes significant investment in programs designed to help renters afford to stay in their homes:
– Approximately $15 million will fund **Eviction Diversion/Targeted Financial Assistance**, helping to resolve cases involving owed rent for residents earning 80% AMI or less.
– Initial funding allocates $3.8 million to **Homeless Prevention**, $2.85 million for **housing counseling and eviction prevention**, and $1.8 million to **PHLHousing+** for rental assistance.
### Legislative Process and Future Outlook
This will be the second consecutive fall that City Council takes on a major legislative task from the administration. While there are discussions about starting work soon, there is no specific deadline to pass this resolution. Introduction could happen as early as Council’s next scheduled meeting.
Brooks said that the administration aims to use this model to determine spending for future fiscal years and align with standard government budget calendars. The timing may influence whether the city borrows annually to meet Council-approved needs or adheres to the two $400 million issuances planned for this year and 2027. Requests for further comment on the planned borrowing were unanswered at the time of publication.
Brooks expressed gratitude toward council members for collaborating with her and the administration over the summer to craft the current version of the plan.
Though resolutions do not require hearings before passage under Council rules, the scale of this plan might prompt Council to invite public comment and expert testimony.
Council President Kenyatta Johnson emphasized the importance of careful review:
> “Council members are doing their important and necessary due diligence in reviewing the Mayor’s H.O.M.E. resolution before taking any final vote on the issue,” Johnson said.
> “That review will continue. This is a massive multi-billion-dollar plan to build and preserve 30,000 housing units over the next few years. Getting the H.O.M.E. Program Annual Statement and budget resolution right is more important than rushing it.”
Johnson underscored that the initiative is about making smart, responsible investments that will impact every neighborhood and resident of Philadelphia.
> “We owe it to the people we serve to take the time to get it right,” he said.
> “Council members are committed to supporting H.O.M.E.’s goals of taking bold and necessary steps toward addressing Philadelphia’s housing challenges. Council remains committed to working collaboratively with the Parker Administration, community partners, and residents to ensure the H.O.M.E. Plan is implemented effectively and equitably.”

**Geriatric Mitch McConnell Suffers Terrifying Fall in Senate Office Building**
*Published: Oct. 16, 2025, 7:06 p.m. ET*
Mitch McConnell, the 83-year-old Kentucky senator, suffered a terrifying fall while walking through the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, October 16. The horrifying moment was caught on video, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The incident renewed calls for term limits, with critics demanding that the ailing senator step down immediately rather than finish his current term in office.
—
### Scary Collapse
McConnell appeared uneasy on his feet as he walked through the basement level of the building. When a reporter approached him to question the senator about Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, McConnell reached for his aide’s arm before suddenly falling forward, landing fully on the floor.
He experienced a total collapse, and both the aide and a Capitol police officer helped him up gingerly, as McConnell was unable to stand on his own. After the fall, the wide-eyed political veteran turned to the person filming, gave a nervous smile and wave, and was helped off down the hallway.
—
### “This Is Sad”
Critics, including some Republicans, quickly pointed out that McConnell’s fall was just the latest in a string of disturbing health incidents raising questions about his ability to serve.
One prominent right-wing poster wrote on X:
*“I take no joy in watching an old man fall down like Mitch McConnell just did. But, brother, it is time to step down and enjoy your retirement. Stop clinging to power and start clinging to your family.”*
MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson added:
*“He has fallen multiple times this year. We need term limits. This is sad.”*
Another commenter complained,
*“They are running an absolute nursing home over there to keep these men and women voting their way, and no matter what, it’s still elderly abuse.”*
A fourth user sneered,
*“Sad and pathetic. They should have an age limit and a term limit. This isn’t a lifetime position.”*
—
### Back to Work!
Despite his harrowing fall, McConnell returned to work amid the ongoing federal government shutdown. A spokesperson told Fox News Digital,
*“He’s all good – went on to vote and ready to vote again at 1:30 p.m… to see if Dems decide to fund our nation’s defense priorities or not.”*
The longest-serving Senate leader even shared a post on X emphasizing his urgency to keep working, though the message appeared to be crafted by someone on his digital team:
*“Two weeks ago, when Democrats chose to take the federal government hostage for partisan priorities, I warned that there would be nothing to gain from their shutdown. Today, our colleagues’ refusal even to begin considering the overwhelmingly bipartisan defense appropriations bill is a sobering reminder that there is, however, much to lose.”*
Notably, this post made no mention of his collapse just hours earlier.
—
### Calls to Retire
This is not McConnell’s first fall in recent years. In February, he tumbled down several stairs after casting a confirmation vote for President Donald Trump’s Housing and Urban Development secretary nominee, Scott Turner.
In March 2023, McConnell suffered a concussion from another fall. He has also experienced several bizarre on-camera moments where he froze mid-sentence, pausing for long stretches with a blank expression.
Though McConnell’s office insists there is “no evidence” he has a seizure disorder or has experienced a stroke, they have not provided a medical explanation for these episodes.
Former President Trump broke with many Republicans in 2023 by calling for the evidently declining senator to retire. In response, McConnell announced in February that he would not seek an eighth term and would not stand for re-election in 2026.
—
As McConnell’s health continues to be a concern, discussions around age and term limits for public officials have intensified, reflecting growing unease over his ability to fulfill his duties in the Senate.

When a Border Patrol agent arrested a 24-year-old Venezuelan man in Brunswick last month, the officer said he had to detain him under a law that immigration lawyers say has traditionally been used for people after they’ve just crossed the border. But the man has been in Maine for two years and was allowed to work while he seeks asylum, according to court records. Federal agents have been using the law to arrest more immigrants who they say are in the country illegally and seeking admission, which, according to the Department of Justice, means they are not entitled to a bond hearing or conditional release. In several cases recently considered by a federal judge in Maine, immigrants who have been detained say they have lived and worked in the United States for several years. Many have applied for asylum and some have children who are U. S. citizens. Their lawyers have argued that the federal government is ignoring decades of precedent, in which immigration authorities have used a different law to arrest people who have been in the country for years. That law allows detainees to request bond, as long as they’re not found to be dangerous to the community or a flight risk. The man arrested in Brunswick is one of many immigrants challenging their arrests in the U. S. District Court of Maine. The American Civil Liberties Union, including several of its New England chapters, has also filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge in Boston to deem the practice of “systematically misclassifying” immigrant detainees as unconstitutional. ACLU of Maine lawyer Max Brooks said the issue comes down to bond hearings. Brooks, whose clients have included asylum seekers, has filed a handful of petitions seeking the release of people who he says were detained under the wrong law. “It’s extremely difficult to prove your asylum case, to prove the persecution that you suffered, when you’re locked up in a detention facility with very minimal access to the outside world,” Brooks said in an interview Wednesday. Attorneys for the Department of Justice have said the law allows them to detain and deny bond to anyone in the country illegally and that it doesn’t matter if people “have successfully evaded U. S. Border Patrol and effected an unlawful entry into the interior of the United States,” according to their response to the ACLU case in Boston. “The crux of this dispute is one of statutory interpretation,” federal attorneys wrote. “And, under the plain text, the resolution of this case is neither close nor difficult.” The Board of Immigration Appeals, which is overseen by the Department of Justice, upheld the practice in a decision last month. ACLU lawyers say their argument is supported by “decades of settled immigration practice,” as well as several recent decisions from federal judges in Maine and Massachusetts. Last month, Maine U. S. District Judge Stacey Neumann ordered the release of three Ecuadorian men, who she agreed had been detained under the wrong law. During a hearing Tuesday, while considering the case of the Brunswick man arrested by Border Patrol, Neumann told two assistant U. S. attorneys that she was “frustrated” to see them raising the same defense, despite her previous rulings. “The government agency continues to act in a way that the court has said is illegal,” Neumann said during the Zoom hearing. She ordered on Thursday that the federal government give the man a bond hearing. ‘CREATES A LEGAL CONUNDRUM’ The Board of Immigration Appeals was recently asked to consider the case of a Venezuelan man, who was arrested in Washington by immigration officials as someone “seeking admission” and not entitled to bond. While the man admitted to crossing the southern border in 2022 without encountering Border Patrol, he also said he had been living in the United States for almost three years. He was granted temporary protected status in 2024, but that expired a year later. The board said this “creates a legal conundrum,” and that the man “provides no legal authority” to show why people accused of being in the country illegally are eligible for bond hearings “after some undefined period of time residing in the interior of the United States.” “If he is not admitted to the United States (as he admits) but he is not ‘seeking admission’ (as he contends), then what is his legal status?” the board stated. In a Sept. 5 decision, the board agreed that people arrested under the law in question are not entitled to a bond hearing. Brooks, with the ACLU of Maine, described the difficulties immigrants who have been arrested endure while locked up. He said facilities can record calls to friends and family, and can charge detainees for the calls. In Maine, where Border Patrol agents are carrying out many of these arrests, the agency recently has been holding people in small stations. In some petitions filed in Maine’s U. S. District Court, immigration lawyers have said their clients were sleeping on cots on the floor, surrounded by several other detainees while in Border Patrol facilities. “It’s inherently harder to prepare for your case if you’re locked up, can’t see people in person, are stressed out,” Brooks said. Because of a 1st U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision four years ago, it’s easier for immigrant detainees in New England to get approved for bond. Since President Donald Trump took office, immigration advocates say the administration has been transferring more ICE detainees to facilities in the south, to prisons in Texas and Louisiana, where they’re far away from their communities and it’s harder to request bond. CLASS ACTION CASE The ACLU lawyers in the Boston case have asked for class action status, so that anyone who a judge believes is being detained under the wrong law can be released or given a bond hearing. The federal government argued that this kind of process would be illegal and that federal judges can only weigh each case individually. U. S. District Judge Patti B. Saris in Massachusetts was still considering the ACLU’s request on Thursday, according to court records. The ACLU attorneys shared almost 30 petitions with Saris that have been filed this year in Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire. They all involve immigrants who were arrested by Border Patrol and ICE and who said they’re being held under the wrong law and should be eligible for bond. The cases include a 37-year-old Ecuadorian man who was arrested by Border Patrol in Maine on Sept. 10 after being involved in a car accident in Waterville. A police officer called Border Patrol because the man didn’t have identification and wasn’t fluent in English, according to court records. Neumann, the judge in Maine, ordered the federal government on Sept. 30 to release him and give him a bond hearing “for the same reasons as I have enumerated in detail in previous cases.” If the ACLU wins class action status for the lawsuit, Brooks said it could save Maine’s federal court from a surge in individual petitions. While all of the cases in Maine have varied slightly, based on each petitioner’s circumstances and the details of their arrest, Brooks said they all deal with legal misclassification and the denial of bond hearings. “That’s why it makes so much sense to do this as a class action,” Brooks said. “Basically, all of this stuff is flowing from . this broad policy decision to require illegal misclassification, and a court can address that in one fell swoop.”.

Reacting to Donald Trump’s Wednesday press conference, where he made it clear he expects Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to focus their energies on pursuing his political foes, Politico’s Jonathan Martin couldn’t contain his incredulity and fury.
Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Martin followed a rant on the same topic that morning show co-host Joe Scarborough opened with, raising his voice in anger.
“The scandal is in the open now. You don’t have to go to a, you know, garage in Rosslyn [Virginia] to meet Deep Throat to get the scoop on what Trump is doing,” Martin exclaimed, referencing Richard Nixon’s Watergate machinations that ultimately led to Nixon’s downfall.
“He’s literally doing it every day—calling some kind of press conference or signing an executive order in the Oval Office, going off script,” he added.
Martin continued, “Yesterday, for example, he demanded investigations into people whose names he can’t even recall. He says, ‘Lisa’ without her last name, ‘Weissmann,’ but not her first name. Yet, the folks standing behind him sure as heck know who that is.”
“And now they’re made to act,” he predicted. “It’s all in plain view. I think that reduces the shock value somewhat because it is out in the open every damn day!”

However, Tamaki offered no clear response, later telling reporters that if he were chosen as prime minister, “policy management would still be difficult” and that “differences remain” between the parties.
The day began with a high-profile meeting between Takaichi and Constitutional Democratic Party leader Noda, which observers described as Takaichi’s de facto declaration to run in the prime ministerial vote. Noda said he asked whether the LDP planned to run alone or seek support from other parties, to which Takaichi replied that “nothing has been decided yet.”
Noda also revealed that he raised the possibility of the LDP seeking cooperation from Komeito if opposition parties were to unite behind a single candidate, a suggestion that seemed to catch Takaichi off guard.
Later in the day, Takaichi met Tamaki again for about 30 minutes, reiterating her desire to advance policies quickly and jointly rather than focusing solely on forming a parliamentary majority. Tamaki, however, remained cautious, saying that while there had been some convergence on issues such as security legislation and nuclear policy, significant gaps persisted.
He added that even if a coalition of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Japan Innovation Party, and Democratic Party for the People were formed, it would likely have to operate as a minority government, making policy implementation difficult. Tamaki also noted that while many of his party’s basic policies align with those of Takaichi and the LDP, trust had been undermined in the past, referencing broken promises during the Ishiba administration.
Talks among the three opposition leaders lasted about an hour and are expected to continue next week. Meanwhile, attention is now turning to a scheduled meeting between Takaichi and Japan Innovation Party leader Yoshimura in the evening, as speculation grows over whether the two parties might discuss a potential coalition.
