Florida Keys - In an effort to determine the severity of the housing affordability crisis in the state of Florida, eFinanceDirectory.com (http://efinancedirectory.com), a news hub for real estate and mortgage markets, recently analyzed the earnings of workers in some of Florida’s key occupations and calculated the workers’ ability to afford a median priced home or fair market rent on a two bedroom apartment.

The analysis included four major metropolitan areas, as well as five occupations that play a key role in the Florida workforce: firefighters, police officers, nurses, receptionists, and wait staff.

The results were astounding. Not only was it impossible for workers earning the average income for their field and location to reasonably afford a median priced home, it was also difficult for workers in the majority of the occupations to afford rent on a 2-bedroom apartment.

For example, in Miami, where the median priced home is $375,000, it would be virtually impossible for workers in the five occupations to qualify for a mortgage loan without some form of assistance. The Miami firefighter, who on average earns more than the workers in the other four occupations, would need to earn twice as much to be able to reasonably afford the median priced home.

In the same area, a receptionist earning the average income would need to work an unmanageable 72 hour work week to afford the fair market rent on a two bedroom Miami apartment.

Similar problems were found in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Jacksonville, the other three Florida metropolitan areas included in the analysis.

Vero Beach, FL — Fizber.com, for-sale-by-owner real estate website, introduced a new tool for home buyers – all home listings are displayed with Google Maps making your search more exciting and dynamic. You can either get a list of homes or use a cool Google Maps feature to browse listings. Fly around a neighborhood with Google maps and see the houses for sale in your area. Click on an individual house for the selling information, house details, etc., all for free and no strings attached. Fizber shows the results via Google Maps with the listings on the left, with photos of the property if available.

As on other FSBO sites, www.Fizber.com visitors can search for homes by address or ZIP code. But thanks to Fizber.com’s integrated map and satellite images, the similarity ends there: home buyers can zoom in from the national level to the street level on a map, satellite or hybrid image, making it possible to check out the neighborhood before setting foot in a house. Doesn’t that make looking for a home a little more insightful?

Fizber is taking residential real estate listings from home owners and overlaying them on Google Maps, providing a regional view of real estate. With Fizber, you can quickly view all the real estate listings in a given zip code, city or county, then drill down based upon various parameters.

“Today we went live with our newest feature: Google Maps integration. Yes, we’ve done it. By integrating our site with Google Maps and displaying home listings in that format, Fizber.com gives potential buyers a visual, intuitive way to find the property that is right for them,” stated company PR Manager Julia Foster. “Most buyers would like to know what a neighborhood looks like before taking the time to walk through a home for sale, and thanks to the images we provide, they have the chance to do that. Maps are about power, they show you who lives where, how people get around.”

“These types of maps are very effective in real estate,” says Antony Fizber, the CEO of the company. “All modern real estate websites such as Trulia are built around them, and we worked hard to embed Google Maps in Fizber’s web pages to enhance the usability of the site. It is a great way to show the neighborhood. Just zoom in and scroll the map or search for an address or neighborhood. I know far too well how frustrating shopping for a house online can be. We did our best to help home buyers search by location using a dynamic and interactive map.”

Fizber.com gives you the power to search for homes across the U.S. with a new buyer-friendly tool.
