In recent years Florida has proven to be a hub of activity for real estate developments, even as other major markets have seen declines. But with prices rising, some lawyers in the space are uncertain for the future.

Over the last few months, real estate deals have been on the rise and certain incentives have promised even more construction of new projects as deals have slowed down from their peak last year. But as price uncertainty remains present, in spite of incentives, lawyers are uncertain whether the positive momentum will continue. Additionally, disputes in the space are growing in number.

“Transaction volume over the last couple of years in real estate is down probably about 75 to 80%,” chair of Bilzin Sumberg’s real estate and finance group Suzanne Amaducci said. “It's because there is uncertainty in the market.”
