Do you think home buying is getting easier or harder in your area right now?

Florida Realtors reported that the statewide median single-family home sale price reached $415,000 in September 2026, up 1.2% from September 2025. Home sales declined year over year for the second consecutive month.

Why it matters

Rising mortgage rates have halted housing market growth, leaving prices near last year's levels while sales slow. Buyers and sellers across Florida are operating in a market with more available inventory than a year ago.

Statewide single-family months' supply stood at 4.4 months, a 13.7% decrease from September 2025, while cash sales totaled 5,743, just under 28% of all single-family sales. Ocala/Marion County's median single-family sale price was $280,640, down 1.5% from 2025, and its end-of-month inventory fell 13% year over year.

Market Landscape

Florida's September figures extend a trend tracked in Florida Realtors' monthly market reports, where year-over-year sales have declined for consecutive months. The steady pattern of slowing sales alongside near-flat prices distinguishes this period from the rapid price gains seen in earlier years.

For Florida homebuyers, a slower sales pace and 4.4 months of single-family supply may give buyers more room to negotiate than in recent years. Owners of townhouses and condos face a 1.8% statewide price dip, which could affect equity for those planning to sell.

The takeaway

Florida's housing market is cooling in volume while prices hold steady, so buyers and sellers should weigh current inventory levels and local comparisons before making decisions.
