THE REAL ESTATE MARKET ALONG FLORIDA’S EAST COAST
NOV 2021
Market conditions along the Florida East Coast continued to strengthen in October, with a rebound in sales volume and price gains throughout most neighborhoods.
The strong economic conditions, highlighted by a low unemployment rate of 4.7%, and lifestyle continued to attract new residents to the region, adding to the demand for homes. The recovering tourism market, particularly from international travelers, will improve economic conditions and potentially return a missing demand segment to the market.

SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES
Sales activity stabilized in October, changing little from the previous month. In October, more than 9,700 single family homes and condos sold along Florida’s East Coast. While closed sales fell by 13% compared with last year, sales velocity last fall was influenced by pandemic- related purchases and migration. Compared to 2019, when market conditions could be considered more normal, sales were up by 11%. By property type, condo sales increased the most since October 2019, by 24%, with gains accelerating in the last few months.
OCT 2020 OCT 2021
CONDOMINIUMS
ACTIVE LISTINGS DOWN 5%
Active listings fell for the third-consecutive month, decreasing to approximately 20,500 homes and condos in October. This was a decrease of nearly 5% from the previous month. Highlighting the strengthened condo market in the last few months, listings decreased by more than 6%, outpacing the single family home segment.
At the current pace of sales, available condos would
be absorbed within roughly eleven weeks while single family homes would be exhausted within seven weeks. Compared with January, the months of supply for condos fell by more than 60%.
With buyer demand still elevated, homes average fewer days on the market, particularly in prime neighborhoods and for homes priced less than one million dollars. The average number of days listings spent on the market fell to 44 days in October for all types of residences. This was roughly 40% fewer days than October 2020. Single family homes, on average, spent less time on the market than condos, reaching approximately 32 days in October.

FLORIDA’S EAST COAST
PRICE GAINS LURING HOMEOWNERS TO LIST
Though buyer demand absorbed much of the new inventory, price gains throughout the region continued to drive more existing owners to list homes for sale. These new listings came onto the market at ever-increasing prices. Year-to-date, the average price per square foot of newly listed condos increased by 28% while the average price per square foot of single family homes increased by 24%. With few available homes in some neighborhoods, sellers firmly hold pricing leverage.
In many neighborhoods, competition for homes drove potential buyers to submit bids greater than the list price. In October, approximately 26% of sales closed in excess of the asking price. With limited inventory particularly apparent in the single family segment, more than 32%
of homes sold for more than the list price. The greatest share of homes sold for more than asking in Brevard County while Miami-Dade, primarily a result of the substantial condo inventory, had the lowest share.
$460,000 +2%
THE REAL ESTATE MARKET ALONG FLORIDA’S EAST COAST
MARKET CONDITIONS CONDUCIVE TO FURTHER PRICE INCREASES
Buyer demand should remain elevated through the remainder of the year, driven in part by migration into the region and low mortgage rates. The return of international travel may spur an increase in sales volume and cash sales in many neighborhoods in the coming months. As conditions improve in parts of Central and South America and visitor volume recovers, pent-up demand that was built up during the last year and a half may be released on the Florida East Coast housing market. Though for-sale inventory may increase, overall demand for homes should maintain tight market conditions leading to continued price gains into the near term.
