The inventory of available homes for sale decreased by 5.1% from last year. This is a 3.6 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a seller’s market with the advantage for sellers. (August 2018 also had a 4.0 month supply) A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory. Inventory continues to decrease which is putting pressure on rising prices and lower sales volume.
