What\u2019s the Florida housing market like right now?<\/h2>\n
The Florida housing market is cooling<\/a> as more homes become available, reducing competition among buyers.<\/p>\n \u201cHere in Central Florida, I’d say housing inventory is about balanced,\u201d says Chuck Shaver<\/a>, a HomeLight Elite agent who works with 71% more single-family homes than the average in his Central Florida market. \u201cHere in Volusia County, we’re just over 5 months, probably about 6 months, so it’s a balanced market in my area.\u201d<\/p>\n A housing market is considered balanced when it has 4 to 6 months of inventory. This means it would take that many months to sell all available homes at the current sales pace. This balance ensures neither buyers nor sellers have a significant advantage, fostering a stable price environment.<\/p>\n \u201cI’d say the market is stable or declining overall, slightly declining,\u201d\u00a0 Shaver says.<\/p>\n Some factors pulling at the Florida market include:<\/p>\n According to March 2025 data from the Florida Realtors Association<\/a>:<\/p>\n But even with cooling home sales and lower inbound migration rates, Florida still ranks among the 11 states with the highest net influx of residents from other states<\/a>.<\/p>\n Shaver says one of the biggest seller mistakes in Florida is overpricing. \u201cFlorida sellers often have the belief that they can price their home however they like because buyers are coming with a lot of cash from California, New York, and New Jersey,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n But if you price your home too high, your listing could sit on the market too long, which can lead to price reductions and a lower final sale price. If you price it too low, you could miss out on proceeds. The goal is to price your home just right<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe best pricing strategy is to face reality and not overprice \u2014 that\u2019s the big one \u2014 and recognize that we’re not in 2021 anymore,\u201d Shaver says, adding that setting the right listing price<\/a> is even more important now because buyers have more options.<\/p>\n To determine the right listing price, start by looking at nearby recent sales of similar properties, called comps<\/a>. Your agent will provide a comparative market analysis<\/a> (CMA) to help you gain the best perspective. Factors like your home\u2019s condition, location, and the existing market conditions in your part of the state will play a role.<\/p>\n In more active markets, pricing your home slightly below market value can sometimes create a bidding war, helping you attract a higher selling price.<\/p>\n The amount you\u2019ll make from selling your Florida home depends on several key factors, including the final price, closing costs, and your outstanding mortgage balance. On average, Florida sellers can expect to pay selling costs in the range of 8% to 12%<\/a> of the home\u2019s price, including agent commissions, which can make up a large portion of these costs. Let\u2019s look at an example that illustrates how a typical Florida seller might walk away from a home sale with $130,087 in proceeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to Experian, the average homeowner in Florida today has a mortgage debt of about $251,713<\/a>. Using a median home price of $415,000 and the low range of 8% in estimated closing costs, here\u2019s how your proceeds might play out:<\/p>\n Of course, our simplified example doesn\u2019t take into account additional costs you will likely have for home preparations<\/a>, repairs<\/a>, or moving<\/a> expenses.<\/p>\n As noted, the combined cost of selling a house in Florida can range between 8% to 12% of the home\u2019s final price.
