The Florida Realtors Association has released its most recent market report, which shows that statewide the median single-family home sale price stayed at $415,000, a duplicate of the median in November of 2024. Townhouses and condo median sales price were reported at $310,000, a 1.6% year over year decrease from last November.

The statewide active listing inventory for single-family homes was 98,638, a small increase of .2% over last year. Statewide inventory for condos and townhomes was reported at 65,462, a 1.8% increase from last November.

Brad O’Connor, senior economist for the Florida Realtors, a statewide agents’ reporting and professional trade association, said, “December marked the fifth straight month where new pending sales of single-family homes increased on a year over year basis, with nearly 5.5% more homes going under contract than in the same month the previous year. That’s easily the longest streak we’ve seen since the 11-month streak that began in February of 2021, at the height of the pandemic housing boom.”

Single-family market

Ocala/Marion County’s November median sale price reported for single-family homes was $286,350, a 1.1% decrease from 2024.  

“In December, closed sales in this property type category were up nearly 6% year over year. The second half of the year recovery in sales, including what we saw in December, was just enough to lead to what might be one of the biggest surprises of 2025,” O’Connor said. “Closed sales of Florida single family homes were actually up for the year overall, compared to 2024. The difference was modest, just under 1%, but few people would have predicted at the beginning of 2025 or even halfway through 2025…. Growth was particularly strong in the Central Panhandle, the Nature Coast and east into The Villages and also in much of southwest Florida.” 

The association reported the supply of single-family existing homes statewide stood at 4.6-months’ supply, a 2.1% decrease over last November.  

“Months’ supply inventory is a useful indicator of market conditions,” the report stated. “The benchmark for a balanced market (favoring neither buyer nor seller) is 5.5 months of inventory. Anything higher is traditionally a buyers’ market, and anything lower is a sellers’ market.”

Statewide, the number of cash sales for single-family homes increased by 4.3% with a total of 6,105 throughout Florida, which was just under 28% of all sales.  

“Cash sales can be a useful indicator,” the report stated, “of the extent to which investors are participating in the market. Investors are far more likely to have the funds to purchase a home available up front, whereas the typical homebuyer requires a mortgage or some other form of financing.”

Ocala/Marion County reported 815 single-family home closings, a 17.3% increase from last November.

Townhouses and condos

Ocala/Marion County townhouses and condos median sales prices came in at $205,000, a 9.7% decrease from last November. A total of 47 closed sales were reported.   

“In the condo and townhouse category, sales declines have been steeper than in the single-family category in recent years, particularly due to the gradual introduction of safety regulations and reserve requirements beginning in 2022. While these regulations improve the safety of condo buildings, like any regulations, they do come at a cost and in this case, the cost of manifested in the form of special assessments and higher condo association fees,” O’Connor said.  

Statewide, existing condo-townhouse properties were at an 8.8-months’ supply in November, an increase of 7.3% from November of 2024 and reported total active listings of 65,462. For the sector, the number of cash sales increased by 20.1% to 4,210 and represented over 53% of the market.
