Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell in Florida?

The short answer: it depends on who you are and what you are trying to do, but Florida’s market is no longer the frantic seller’s market it was a few years ago. At the end of 2025, the statewide median price for existing single-family homes was $413,990, down about 1.4% from a year earlier, while condos and townhomes ran about $310,000. Inventory rose through the year, with single-family supply ending near 5 to 5.3 months, which real estate markets read as roughly balanced.

What balance means for buyers

More homes to choose from and softer prices mean less pressure and more room to negotiate. Closed sales ticked up late in 2025 as mortgage rates moderated, so serious buyers who are prepared tend to get better terms, but good homes still move. Being ready with financing early is still the advantage.

What it means for sellers

You can no longer count on multiple offers above asking, which makes pricing and presentation more important than ever. Homes that are priced from data and show well are still selling; overpriced homes sit and lose momentum. The condo segment, with higher inventory, leans a little further toward buyers.

So, is now a good time?

For buyers: if your numbers are ready and you can wait for the right home, balance gives you leverage. For sellers: if you price from today’s data, not last year’s, the window is still open. For most people the best time is when their life is ready, not when headlines feel perfect. That is where a personal, current read on your local market beats any statewide average.
