Here's what Chief Economist Elliot Eisenberg, PH.D, says about Florida's real estate market:
Buyers have leverage especially in the townhome/condo market as prices fall and inventories rise.
Home prices are declining across much of the state per Freddie Mac. About 1/2 of the US metros with the largest housing price declines are in Florida.
Despite softer housing prices, Florida's economy remains strong, and population and job growth continue.
Florida home sales are likely to improve if mortgage rates fall below 6%.
Sellers should price strategically and rely on local market data, not past trends.
