APRIL 2018 MARKET UPDATE
FLORIDA: MORE SALES & HIGHER PRICES
Florida’s housing market reported more closed sales, more new listings and higher median prices in February. Sales of single-family homes statewide totaled 18,620 last month, up 3.3 percent compared to February 2017. Meanwhile, the statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes was $246,500, up 9.6 percent from the previous year. Looking at Florida’s townhouse-condo market, statewide closed sales totaled 8,457 last month, up 6.4 percent compared to February 2017. “Sales of existing homes rose modestly in February, while sale prices continued to climb at a very brisk pace,” said Florida Realtors® Chief Economist Dr. Brad O’Connor. “Year-over-year sales growth for single-family homes checked in at 3.3 percent in February – the largest such gain we’ve seen since last June.
USA: PENDING SALES SNAP BACK
Pending home sales snapped back in much of the country in February, but weakening affordability and not enough inventory on the market restricted overall activity compared to a year ago. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said, “The expanding economy and healthy job market are generating sizeable home buyer demand, but the miniscule number of listings on the market and its adverse effect on affordability are squeezing buyers and suppressing overall activity.” With the start of the spring buying season in full swing, Yun believes that one of the top wild cards for the housing market in coming months will be how both buyers and potential sellers adjust to the steady climb in mortgage rates since late last year. For the year, Yun forecasts existing-home sales to be around 5.51 million – flat from 2017.
