Florida’s Housing Market: July 2022 Overview
July Numbers Are In!
July numbers are in. Florida’s housing Market July 2022 overview, reported by The FloridaRealtors® shows some interesting stats. Overall, there are higher median prices, a rise in the listings of single-family homes, and some signs of easing inventory supply compared to this time last year. Yet, they did note that increasing inflation and mortgage rates are indeed affecting sales.
Sales of single-family homes statewide is down 22.9% compared to July last year and condo/townhouses are also down 30.7%. However, Florida Realtors Chief Economist, Dr. Brad O’Connor said, “It’s almost not fair to compare 2022 sales numbers to those from over a year ago because 2021 was such a uniquely good year for the housing market, with the 30-year mortgage rate hovering near 3% the entire year.” He notes that if the higher mortgage rates and rising prices were not as they currently are that he believes the buyer demand would be booming right now here in the Sunshine State. Regarding the active listings – Florida Realtors® notes they are rising year after year and expected to continue. You can review the full article here with links to the market data.
