Florida Real Estate Overview

The continued challenge is still new listing inventory. This past month’s inventory decline rate slowed from the steep drop we’ve been experiencing since this past April.

The inventory year-to-date still remains at a several year low, down -40% compared to this time last year. In comparison, the condo and townhouse markets are also suffering from lack of inventory down -12% versus last year.

October was similar to many other months this year. The decline of inventory and growing demand for homes adds to the home value growth we continue to see across the state.

As a result of the current real estate market conditions, median price for closed sales also continued to rise. Single-family median price rose to $305,000 up +15.6%, while the condo townhouse market rose +15.9% to $221,000.

The overall rise in median home sales price is not completely Indicative of the home appreciation we’re currently experiencing. Real estate appreciation is driven by the mixture of home price points sold.

Certain market conditions are good for the first-time home buyer, while other times during the 2020 economic fluctuations opened up opportunities for the luxury home market to flourish, thus changing up the mixture of sales from month to month.

Price Appreciation and Your Next Steps

Price appreciation is strong across the state regardless of the sales mix, especially since housing affordability has driven first-time home sales demand on the minimal inventory.

No matter the sales mix, a localized market report by city, development, or just your neighborhood will greatly dial in the local real estate market conditions effecting you the most.

That’s where we come in.
