Florida home sales rise for ninth straight month

Florida home sales rose again in May, continuing a nine-month streak of year-over-year gains. The data gives Realtors a useful way to talk with buyers and sellers about timing, pricing and how local conditions are shaping activity.

The latest numbers point to a market that is still moving, even as mortgage rates continue to shape buyer decisions.

The sales streak gives buyers and sellers a clearer read on Florida’s market heading into summer. Buyers are still moving when the numbers work, and sellers still have opportunities when pricing and expectations reflect current conditions. Local trends by property type, price point and inventory can help shape more informed conversations about what is happening in each market.
