Updated November 2026 with Florida Realtors data released October 16, 2026.
Florida’s housing market was steady in September 2026. The statewide median single-family sale price was $415,000, up 1.2% from a year earlier, while the median condo and townhouse price was $293,500, down 1.8%. Closed sales of single-family homes fell 3.5% to 20,537, and condo sales were nearly flat at 7,179.
The bigger story is the split between houses and condos, and how much the picture varies by region.

What stands out
- Single-family prices are holding. Most metros moved within a few percent of last year. South Florida rose 3.0%, and the Emerald Coast (Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin) rose 7.0%.
- Condos are softer in many areas. Condo prices fell from a year ago in Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Panama City, Deltona-Daytona Beach and the Emerald Coast. Florida’s condo safety laws, rising association costs and insurance all play a part.
- A few condo markets went the other way. Port St. Lucie, Tallahassee and Sarasota-Bradenton condo medians rose. Monthly medians can swing when only a small number of units sell, so look at several months before drawing conclusions.
What it means if you’re buying
- Condo buyers may have more room to negotiate, but check the building carefully: reserves, inspections and special assessments affect both your costs and which loans you can use. See our guide to buying a Florida condo under the condo safety laws.
- Budget for the full payment, not just the price. Insurance, HOA dues and property taxes after reassessment can change your monthly cost more than a small price swing.
- Get pre-approved before you shop so you can move quickly when the right home comes up.
