March 2021 Real Estate Market Update

Fortunately, the real estate market in Florida is holding steady. Total sales and the median sales price have both increased across the board. Inventory remains restricted, especially for single-family homes in the mid to low price ranges. A lack of available homes is pushing home buyers who originally wanted detached single-family homes to settling for condos or townhouses. Let’s take a look at how the numbers stack up compared to March of 2020, according to Florida Realtors.

Single-Family Homes

  • Closed sales – Totaled 32,819 and increased 23.3%
  • Median sales price – Averaged $327,000, which is an increase of 18.9%
  • New pending sales – Increased 48.2%

Condo-Townhouses

  • Closed sales – Totaled 16,518 for an increase of 52.6%
  • Median sales price – Averaged $242,000, which is an increase of 15.2%
  • New pending sales – Increased an incredible 126.4%
