Florida’s housing market followed the national trend in 2007, as mortgage industry issues and a sluggish economy impacted sales and prices. By year’s end, a total of 130,241 existing single-family homes sold statewide for a 29 percent decrease compared to the 2006 sales figure, according to FAR. The statewide median sales price was $233,600.
Says 2008 FAR President Chuck Bonfiglio: “The outlook for 2008 is that the housing market should start to normalize, that we should see some gains by the end of the year. Continued efforts to resolve Florida’s property insurance and property tax issues will also help revitalize our state’s housing market.”
