What’s Happening in the South Florida Market?
- In November 2024, national home sales climbed 6.1% compared to a year ago, marking the biggest year-over-year gain since June 2021. Despite this trend, South Florida saw a decrease in home sales.
- The decline in overall sales and pending transactions suggests a slowdown in buyer demand. Recent changes in regulations for townhomes and condos have increased costs for owners, which could be contributing to the overall sale price increase. As a result, many of these properties are becoming less affordable for buyers, further influencing market dynamics.
- According to Mortgage Daily News, mortgage rates in November, dropped from about 7% to 6.8% by month’s end. However, rates began climbing again in December, peaking at 7.14% on the 19th.
- Great news for homebuyers! In 2025, the FHFA is increasing the conforming loan limit to $806,500—up $40,000 from 2024. Despite market challenges, constrained inventory and high demand continue to drive prices up. This change helps buyers access higher loan amounts to keep pace with rising home values.
