The real estate market in Florida cools down as a record number of houses was offered for sale in February.

According to Realtor.com, 168,717 properties went onto the market in February, the highest number that the website has started since the course was kept in 2016.

The total number of properties for sale in Florida has risen by 40%since February 2024, as Realor.com has been found. In some cities there are more than twice as many lists compared to the previous year. Only seven cities from the 252 Realor.com had fewer entries this year than last.

Economists and other experts for the housing market use the inventory increases to identify areas in which demand and competition could decrease for houses. Home buyers could have an advantage over Home sellers there. An increased inventory is also an indicator that real estate prices could fall.

Although real estate in Palm Beach is experiencing what some brokers call “Trump flies”, with expensive properties changing owners, other parts of the state become cheaper.

“Home buyers in Bradenton and Sarasota are spoiled with climbing inventory, falling prices and longer times on the market,” said Hannah Jones, Senior Economic Research -Analyst from Realtor.com. “Buyers will probably find more flexibility of the sellers, since homeowners want to attract the attention of buyers.”

Since the boom of the Pandemic Housing led to a record level of inventory nationwide, more houses for sale can signal a return to normality rather than a decline in the housing market. In some parts of Florida, however, the influx of houses on the market and other forces already affect real estate values.

Take Greenacres, Florida, an enclave 10 miles southwest of West Palm Beach. In January 2025, the middle list price was $ 259,950, 13% less than in January 2024.

Other factors prove the housing market in Florida, including relatively higher mortgage interests that donate the demand for home buyers, increase property damage due to natural disasters and HOA fees.

Here are 17 cities in Florida with the greatest increase in houses for the sale of year over the year, according to Realtor.com. Home buyers and investors want to look for better offers and more negotiation power.

Realor.com's data about houses on the market will be from February 2025, while the middle list prices are available from January, the last month.
