Home prices increase due to low inventory

With low housing inventory down 11.7%, we have seen home prices rise.  Many people are staying in their homes due to the effects of COVID-19 and the economic impact it has had.  The limited available inventory in the housing market has created price wars and as a result, a further increase in home prices.  As a seller, do not be surprised if you get offers above asking price.              

In Florida, median prices for homes rose 4% year over year rising up to $295,000 according to Florida Realtors®.  In comparison with condo townhouses, prices increased 9.6% up to $200,000.  For condos, prices rose 5.8%. 

When looking at the areas where we are seeing the largest price increases, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale was on the list in addition to Gainesville, Daytona Beach, Homosassa, and Sebring.  The condo market experienced the biggest gains in Crestview Fort Walton Beach, Delton Daytona Beach, Homosassa Springs, Panama City, Punta Gorda, The Villages, Sarasota Bradenton, and Sebastian Vero Beach.
