Priced out of paradise: Real estate experts discuss Dade's condo crisis

Miami-Dade County has the largest number of condominiums in Florida, making it ground zero for a financial crisis involving new safety laws. Owners face rising condo fees, special assessments, and starting in 2025, the requirement to fund reserves. Costs have forced many to make tough financial decisions and contemplate moving out of the community.
