August's median price was unchanged from July at $380,000, and down 2.6% from the corresponding month in 2025, when the median price was $390,000. The average number of days it took for a home to sell and close in August was 146, the same as July and 15 days higher than a year ago. The average number of days a home spent on the market over the last 30 days was 104, compared with a 105-day average over the past 12-month period. The overall resort area saw 308 closings in August, down from 373 in July but above the 291 recorded in August 2025. The number of homes recorded as Pending — under offer/contract — totalled 522, the same as last month but above the 499 recorded a year ago. Homes that changed hands in August sold for an average of 97.1% of their final listed price, down from 98.0% twelve months ago.  During August, the resort area recorded 274 homes withdrawn from the market after failing to attract a buyer while listed. Overall inventory fell month-on-month from 3,379 in July to a revised 3,355 in August. Current inventory levels, measured against the pace of sales, indicate a 10.9-month supply of available homes — above the 9.0-month supply recorded in July but below the 12.4-month supply recorded in August 2025

Florida...

Florida's housing market extended its run of year-over-year growth in July, marking the 11th consecutive month of year-over-year closed sales gains across both major property categories, according to Florida Realtors® data. Single-family closed sales rose just over 5% compared to July 2025, while condo and townhouse sales increased by a larger margin of 11% over the same period. New pending sales of single-family homes rose nearly 2.5% year over year in July, representing the 12th consecutive month of year-over-year growth in this metric. On the supply side, inventory continued to tighten across both segments: single-family inventory fell almost 13.5% year over year, while condo and townhouse inventory declined just under 13% over the same period. Pricing showed divergence between the two property types. The single-family median sale price rose 3.7% year over year to $425,000. In contrast, the condo and townhouse median sale price held steady at $295,000, showing no year-over-year change.
