As of December 22, 2025

As we close out 2025, Florida’s real estate market is showing clear signs of stabilization after several years of rapid growth. This shift is creating new opportunities for buyers while encouraging sellers to be more strategic.

📊 Market Snapshot

Home prices across Florida have moderated, with some areas experiencing slight year-over-year declines. Homes are taking longer to sell, giving buyers more time to explore options and negotiate favorable terms.

💰 Mortgage Rates & Buyer Behavior

Mortgage rates remain higher than previous years, but have eased slightly from their peak. Buyers are more selective and value-driven, often seeking concessions, inspections, and competitive pricing. Well-prepared buyers are finding opportunities that were rare during the market peak.

🏠 Inventory on the Rise

Inventory levels have increased across many Florida markets, reducing bidding wars and shifting the market toward balance. Sellers who price correctly and present their properties well continue to attract serious buyers.

📍 Regional Highlights

• South Florida: International demand remains strong, though price corrections are evident in many neighborhoods.

• Central & Southwest Florida: Markets like Orlando, Tampa, Cape Coral, and Fort Myers are seeing more negotiation and price stabilization.

🔮 Looking Ahead

As we move into 2026, expectations point toward continued stabilization, with potential growth in buyer activity if mortgage rates decline. This market favors informed decisions and long-term strategy.
