After more than 35 years as a full-time real estate broker in Florida, it’s fascinating to watch how our market continues to evolve. Right now, more than 1 in 10 active listings across the state are coming to market below what the current owners originally paid. We’re seeing nearly half the homes for sale in certain areas take price reductions, and seller concessions are becoming increasingly common. This shift follows a period of sharp price increases, but as demand softened, borrowing costs climbed, and inventory grew, many sellers have had to adjust their expectations. Some homeowners who purchased near the peak are now prioritizing a timely move or reduced carrying costs, even if it means accepting a smaller return. It’s a clear sign of a cooling market—and as always, keeping a close eye on these trends is essential to navigating the right move.
