What’s Happening in the South Florida Market?
- In August 2025, national home sales remained at the same level as July, with a -0.2% change month over month from July. According to NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, “Home sales have been sluggish over the past few years due to elevated mortgage rates and limited inventory. However, mortgage rates are declining and more inventory is coming to the market, which should boost sales in the coming months.”
- South Florida home sales decreased 6.3% year over year, and average prices increased 6.3%, mostly due to new construction and high end, luxury condo sales.
- As reported by Mortgage News Daily, mortgage rates ended August around 6.5%. September is ending in the 6.37% range, following a mid-September low of 6.13%. Because rates often change, buyers should update their pre-approvals accordingly.
- Buyers, don’t dismiss homes that have been on the market longer—seasonal trends often affect selling times, and these properties can still be great opportunities to explore.
- Buyers are being choosy, so for sellers, pricing right and showcasing your home well are key to standing out and building buyer interest.
- August saw more homes go under contract as mortgage rates dipped, but overall sales were down even as prices for many single-family homes inched higher.
