Florida Market Cooled in 2025, Rebound Emerging

Florida’s housing market slowed in 2025, but easing mortgage rates, steady migration and improving international activity point to early momentum.

Housing Market Momentum Builds Early in 2026
New HousingWire metrics point to stronger buyer activity, modest price stability and expanding inventory as early 2026 gets underway.

WASHINGTON — With buyer demand strengthening as house prices stabilize and inventory rises, the housing mark appears to be improving, according to HousingWire's latest Housing Market Tracker.

The tracker shows weekly pending home sales climbing steadily through January, with week-over-week and year-over-year gains for Jan. 23 when weekly pending homes sales totaled 56,252.

Mortgage purchase applications rose 5% week over week and 18% year over year. Logan Mohtashami, lead analyst for HousingWire, said, "My work over the years indicates that housing demand strengthens when rates approach 6%, though we have not seen a sustained period at this level recently. 2026 may be the first year this trend holds."

Inventory has expanded to a supply of about 2.6 months, a level that remains seller-favorable while supporting a more functional market. With thawing buyer demand, new listings are expected to build transaction flow.

For the week ending Jan. 23, 53,920 new listings came to market, compared with 50,946 during the same week in 2025. The median list price stood at $419,900, up slightly from $419,000 the prior week, but 33.6% of active listings experienced price reductions. If mortgage rates remain stable, housing market movement could turn favorable.

Florida Economy Set to Outperform Nation in 2026
The Florida Chamber Foundation’s 2026 outlook points to stabilizing home prices and improving sales as the housing market adjusts after rapid growth.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s economy is expected to continue outperforming the nation in 2026, even as growth moderates from the rapid pace of recent years, according to a new outlook from the Florida Chamber Foundation.

The 2026 Florida Economic Outlook Report, released during the Florida Chamber Foundation’s 2026 Economic Outlook & Jobs Summit, offers a data-driven assessment of current conditions and emerging trends shaping Florida’s long-term economic competitiveness. The report projects continued expansion across major economic indicators, with Florida once again positioned to exceed national performance.

Among the guest speakers at the summit was Florida Realtors Chief Economist Dr. Brad O’Connor, who discussed recent housing trends and the role mortgage rates play in buyer demand.

Coastal markets are seeing an overcorrection

The seller of this $450,000 home that has been on the market in Cape Coral, FL, for 156 days reduced the price by $20,000.REALTOR.COM
But these metrics do not capture the full picture when it comes to Florida's distressed markets like Cape Coral, North Port, and Naples. Experts and real estate agents agree that a key factor putting downward pressure on prices in those metros is overcorrection from the overheated pandemic years.
"Rapid price growth, combined with increasingly costly and difficult-to-obtain insurance, and rising mortgage rates, pushed many would-be buyers out of these Florida markets," says Realtor.com senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones. "As affordability deteriorated, demand weakened and prices began to correct."
In other words, as Borrelli puts it, the market "went up too high, too fast," leaving many buyers priced out, and it will take time before they return in full force.
Prices in many Florida markets have been easing year over year since 2022, signaling that they are undergoing what Jones calls "rebalancing" as sellers search for a price point that draws buyers back.
"This correction is likely to continue until demand strengthens enough to stabilize prices," adds the analyst.
Borrelli points out that the cooling observed in Cape Coral's housing market is limited to home prices, not the number of sales.
"The buyers are still coming here," she says.�"They're still purchasing. Our sales are still continuing at almost the same rate year over year. What's cooled is the pricing. And now that the pricing is more affordable, it seems to attract just as many buyers."
Borrelli adds: "It's actually probably a really good time to buy."
As for sellers in Cape Coral, the agent says they still have "unrealistic" pricing expectations harking back to the red-hot COVID years.
"And so those houses tend to sit because the buyers are looking for value," says Borrelli. "They know a house that's priced well from an overpriced home."
Sellers across Florida have responded in different ways to sluggish buyer interest: Some are offering concessions, while others—particularly in Miami—are choosing to delist and wait for better market conditions.

This $335,000 two-bedroom home that has been on the market in North Port, FL, for 100 days comes with a nearly $15,000 price cut.REALTOR.COM
In the spring, about a third of all for-sale homes in North Port, identified by Cotality as the nation's sixth-coolest market, came with a price cut. Cape Coral was close behind with 28% of listings.
Looking ahead, Borrelli says she believe the fundamentals of the local housing market remain strong and the pricing will ultimately find its footing.
"I think we're getting to a point where the value is there for our houses, and people are seeing that value," she says. "And as long as that remains, I see prices being steady."

• Florida is leading the nation in “cooling markets,” but this shift represents normalization — not collapse — and sellers still have strong opportunities.
• Homes sell best now when sellers prioritize condition, pricing accuracy, transparency, and preparation.
• Southwest Florida remains a high-demand region, and sellers who adapt to today’s market dynamics can still achieve excellent outcomes.
Florida real estate has enjoyed one of the fastest, most dramatic surges in the country over the past few years — and now, many of the metros that once topped the national appreciation charts are appearing on the lists for fastest cooling markets. For sellers, this shift can feel like whiplash. You spent years hearing about bidding wars, record sale prices, and buyers lining up the moment a home was listed. Now headlines are warning that values are leveling off, buyer demand is softening, and days on market are increasing.
But a cooling market doesn’t mean a collapsing one. Not in Florida — and especially not in Southwest Florida, where long-term demand remains extraordinarily strong. What we are seeing is a market that is finally exhaling. After years of runaway velocity, the pace is normalizing, and that creates a very different landscape for sellers.
The question isn’t whether sellers can succeed. They absolutely can. The question is how sellers should approach the market to protect their equity and appeal to today’s more cautious buyers.
