Florida Home Prices Edge Up as Sales Slip

Do you think home buying is getting easier or harder in your area right now?

Florida's statewide median single-family home sale price reached $415,000 in September 2026, up 1.2% from September 2025, according to Florida Realtors. Home sales declined year over year for a second straight month, and the median townhouse and condo price fell 1.8% to $293,500 for Florida homeowners and buyers in the condo and townhome segment.

Why it matters

The statewide numbers show single-family prices still edging up while sales volume slips, a combination that favors sellers with well-priced homes less than it did a year ago. Rising mortgage rates are cited as having halted housing market growth, which affects what Florida households can afford to borrow and how long homes sit on the market.

Statewide cash sales totaled 5,743 single-family homes, just under 28% of all sales. In Ocala/Marion County, the September median single-family sale price was $280,640, down 1.5% from 2025, and end-of-month inventory fell 13% from a year ago.

The players

Florida Realtors

A statewide trade association of real estate professionals that publishes monthly market reports on home prices, sales, and inventory across Florida.

The details

Florida Realtors reports figures from the September 2026 market cycle, comparing each measure against the same month in 2025 to show year-over-year movement. Statewide single-family inventory and months' supply both declined, meaning fewer homes are available relative to the number selling each month. The townhouse and condo segment moved in the opposite direction on price, which the report presents as a separate trend from detached homes.

Timeline

  1. September 2025 serves as the baseline month for the year-over-year comparisons in the report.

  2. September 2026 is the month the Florida Realtors market report covers for both statewide and Ocala/Marion County data.

The Home Front

Florida's September 2026 figures continue a monthly series that tracks the state's shifting balance between buyers and sellers. The pattern of slowing sales alongside steady single-family prices sits within the broader housing-market cooling that Florida Realtors has been documenting.

If you are weighing a sale, the 13% drop in Ocala/Marion inventory and 4.4 months' supply statewide mean homes are moving through the market faster than in many earlier periods. Owners of townhomes and condos should note the 1.8% price decline and compare recent local sales before setting an asking price.

The takeaway

Florida's single-family prices held near last year's levels while sales slowed, so the number of homes available relative to buyers matters more than the headline median. Before listing or buying, pull recent closed sales for your specific neighborhood and consult a licensed real estate agent or lender.
