Florida's Housing Market Is Showing Signs of Life-Here's Why
Briefly

The housing market in Florida has shown unexpected growth after a period of sluggish sales and declining prices. PulteGroup reported a 2% increase in net new orders last quarter, indicating a positive shift. Although the entry-level home market faces challenges, sales of move-up homes and active adult communities increased by 18% year over year. Inventory has stabilized, and price declines have slowed, suggesting an equilibrium might be approaching. Even with a median home list price drop of about 10% over two years, this could attract buyers back into the market.
