August 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The August 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes rebounded a bit from last month.  Closed sales were up by 8.2% (was down by 8.0% in July) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 1.1% (was down by 9.6% in July).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( August 2015 to August 2016) by 12.6% and 9.3% respectively, compared to July’s 11.6% and 8.0%.  These price rises continue to be a bit to high to be sustainable for a long period of time.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 1.8% from last year.  If prices continue to rise rapidly, I expect the inventory to expand in the future.  For August there was only a 4.2 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers. (August of 2015 had a 4.4 month supply)  A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.
