Sunshine State Showed Modest Housing Growth

Florida Realtors reports the Sunshine State’s 2025 housing market showed modest single-family sales growth, rising inventory, and stabilizing prices, signaling a shift toward more balanced conditions

Florida’s housing market ended 2025 with signs of stabilization and modest growth, according to year-end data released by Florida Realtors. Closed sales of existing single-family homes rose year-over-year, inventory levels moved toward more typical seasonal levels, and statewide median prices showed signs of moderating as the year closed out.

Statewide closed sales of existing single-family homes totaled 255,012 in 2025, a 0.9% increase compared to 2024, buoyed in part by a string of higher pending sales in the final months of the year. New pending sales for single-family homes finished the year 1.9% ahead of the prior year, including a five-month streak of year-over-year increases in December. In contrast, pending sales for condo-townhouse properties declined 4.6% for the year.

The condo and townhouse sector experienced steeper annual declines, with 88,793 closed units sold statewide — down 5.9% from 2024. However, condo-townhouse sales also posted a four-month positive growth streak in December, driven by a 10.4% year-over-year increase in closings last month.

Statewide median sales prices edged lower at year’s end. The median for single-family existing homes was $413,990, down 1.4% from 2024, while condo-townhouse median prices finished at $310,000, a 4.7% decline relative to last year. Inventory levels suggested a return to more balanced conditions, with single-family homes at a 4.6-month supply and condo-townhouse supply at 8.8 months as of December 2025.

“2025 brought Florida a stronger, more sustainable housing market — and that’s a win for consumers,” said 2026 Florida Realtors President Chuck Bonfiglio, broker-owner of AAA Realty Group in Plantation, Fla. “Buyers have more homes to choose from, sellers are seeing steady demand, and prices are reaching a healthier range. Now and throughout the year, working with a Realtor across Florida offers the local insight and guidance that can help you turn today’s market into a real opportunity for your future.”

Overall, the 2025 results indicate a housing landscape moving toward equilibrium, with increased choice for buyers, steadier demand for sellers, and price trends that hint at stabilizing affordability after years of rapid appreciation.
