Florida home prices hold firm in August

August brought steady home prices to Florida, with the median for single-family homes holding at $415,000 and condos and townhouses close behind at $298,000. While sales slowed—down about 1.5% for single-family and nearly 2% for condos—it’s clear that higher mortgage rates (6-7%) may be giving some buyers pause after an impressive 11-month run of growth. For those navigating these numbers and trends, I find the key is a calm, well-informed approach. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding what’s happening locally helps you make smart, confident decisions. My focus remains on clear explanations and honest advice, so you feel guided—not rushed—every step of the way.
