The official December 2020 Florida Real Estate Report was released on December 22, 2020, for the finalized market statistics from November 2020. The past month has not disappointed, as sales continued at a scorching pace collectively across the state.
Florida Single-Family Homes
November single-family homes wrapped up the month with 26,406 in closed sales. All 22 of Florida’s metropolitan areas experienced positive year-over-year gains, up +22.9%, the highest percent increase we’ve seen for the year.
How long can the housing market keep up this pace?
The mortgage rates remain at all-time lows while 2021 projects minor increases based on the overall economic conditions of the country.
Housing demand is expected to remain strong in the coming months, but inventory levels continue to remain far below normal levels.
Statewide inventory of single-family homes was down over 41 percent compared to a year ago. Even luxury listings, listings greater than 1M, are down by almost 25 percent.
This lack of housing supply continues to drive home prices upward as strong competition continues for those homes still available on the market.
The median price of single-family homes finished November at $305,000, matching October, but still up 14.1% over last year.
