Florida Real Estate Bubble Stock Market Crash History Bear Market Forecasting Stock Market Crash! - The authority on the market crash phenomenon Home | Site Map | Blog | News Term Glossary | Book Review | Bear Market Sites Florida Real Estate Bubble The 1920’s, in America, were a time of great prosperity. Skilled and educated working Americans had jobs providing numerous fringe benefits, paid vacations and pensions. In addition, automobiles were becoming commonplace for the wealthy and middle class allowing cross country travel. This good fortune set the stage for the Florida real estate bubble . Starting in 1920, many Americans became enamored by the materialistic and prosperous lifestyle of the time. During this time, the stock market was moving forward at an extremely fast pace. Many investors were becoming quite wealthy. Florida became a hot spot for these newly rich people, who didn’t enjoy the cold. Many whole families took vacations to Florida. It was at this point that tourism started booming and land prices were skyrocketing. Many astute investors took notice and started buying Florida real estate. The population in Florida was growing exponentially and housing couldn’t meet the demand. Florida became the “playground of the rich and famous”. Illegal casinos and drinking parlors became widespread in Miami. At this point, almost anybody could invest in Florida, even without much money. Credit was plentiful and soon everybody in Florida was either a real estate investor or a real estate agent. In 1922, the Miami Herald became the heaviest newspaper in the world as a result of its humongous real estate advertisements. People in the North heard about the real estate prices “doubling and tripling”, causing a snowball effect. Capital was rapidly pumped into the real estate market. Whole golf communities were developed, such as Temple Terrace. Resorts and retirement communities were developed almost overnight. Mansions were sprawling in every area, as were swimming pools. As always, waterfront property was the most desirable. Florida was seen as a veritable Utopia. Real estate prices quadrupled in less than one year. An elderly man invested $1,700 in property and by 1925 the property was worth over $300,000! It seemed you could do no wrong by just buying any property in Florida and become a millionaire. By 1925, real estate prices had become so exorbitant that buying land wasn’t affordable any longer. New investors failed to arrive and old investors started to sell. Panic arrived, as it always does, and the real estate market crashed. Prices kept moving downwards as heavily indebted investors tried to sell to avoid bankruptcy . In most cases, no buyers arrived, and the investors were bankrupt from the enormous mortgages. To make matters even worse, a highly destructive hurricane ravaged South Florida in September 1926. The 125 mile an hour winds eventually turned Palm Beach County into swamp lands. After the storm, a huge tidal wave crashed upon the towns of Belle Glade and Moore Haven. Due to these horrible turn of events, over 13,000 homes were destroyed and 415 people died. Additionally, the arrival of the Mediterranean fruit fly obliterated the large citrus industry. It took years for Florida to fully recover, even through the highly prosperous time from 1925 to 1929. Florida was barely affected in the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression , because of its poor financial state from the start. Market crashes always occur in the same manner. Regardless of the market, the same simple psychological underpinnings are always at work. People who are caught up in a bubble never look back for historical examples. For this folly, they become paupers. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Links to other Florida Real Estate Bubble Websites The Biggest Market Crashes in History: The Florida Real Estate Bubble Bear Market Articles • What Exactly is a Market Crash? + The inner details • Does Everyone Lose in a Crash? + The answer may surprise you! + What it takes to be an insider • Can Crashes be Forecasted? + Learn the warning signs + Take action! • The Housing Bubble + Why it is destined to pop + How you will be affected • The Coming Crash! + Prepare for the worst Financial Crisis History 1.

In addition, if sponsored funds are used to purchase property, there are other prepurchase considerations, such as approval to purchase. Specific requirements may be identified in each agreement. When using sponsored funds to make a purchase, it must successfully meet all four of the tests described below, per OMB Circular A21. Allowable: Allowable and unallowable costs are defined in A21 AND in the terms of specific awards – items must be budgeted and approved to be allowable. Allocable: Only those expenses that BENEFIT a project may be charged to that project Reasonable: Costs must reflect what a “prudent person” would pay Consistent: Costs must be handled consistently across the University by following Stanford policy Example Allocable Allowable Reasonable Researcher wishes to purchase lab supplies, budgeted and approved, for the project X X X Researcher wishes to purchase a $50,000 oscilloscope when a 3,000 model will work just as well for the project X X It would not be reasonable to spend $50,000 when $3,000 would suffice Researcher decides to purchase alcohol for a sponsored project party and charge it to the grant specifically supporting government research X Alcohol is NEVER allowable X Unallowable Methods of Purchase The only appropriate way to purchase property is through the iProcurement system. Use of Stanford PCards, personal funds or personal credit cards to purchase capital equipment or material for fabricated equipment is prohibited by Stanford policy .
