📈 Florida Real Estate Is Showing Some Momentum!

Florida home sales increased year over year for the 11th consecutive month in July—a sign that buyers are continuing to move forward despite mortgage rates remaining elevated. 🌴🏡

Here are a few key takeaways:

🏡 Single-family sales: +5%
🏢 Condo & townhome sales: +11%
📈 Pending single-family sales: +2.5%
📉 Single-family inventory: -13.5%
📉 Condo/townhome inventory: -13%
💰 Single-family median price: $425,000 (+3.7%)
🏢 Condo/townhome median price: $295,000

The takeaway? Buyers are coming back—even without a major drop in mortgage rates. As inventory tightens, local market conditions are becoming increasingly important for both buyers and sellers.
