“Mortgage rates fell by more than half a percentage point in the waning months of the year, and as a result, sales really responded here in the Sunshine State,” O’Connor said.
December marked the fifth consecutive month of year-over-year increases in new pending sales of single-family homes, with 5.4% more homes going under contract than in December 2024. The streak was the longest period of growth since an 11-month run that began in February 2021 during the pandemic housing boom, O’Connor said.
The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes stood at $413,990 at year’s end, down 1.4% from 2024. Condo-townhouse properties had a median price of $310,000, down 4.7% from the previous year.
Inventory levels showed a 4.6-month supply for single-family homes and an 8.8-month supply for condo-townhouse properties in December 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2025, suggesting a return to more typical seasonal patterns, the data showed.
Chuck Bonfiglio, 2026 Florida Realtors president and broker-owner of AAA Realty Group in Plantation, said the market offered improved conditions for both buyers and sellers.
