ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 22, 2014 – Florida's housing market saw higher median prices and a rising inventory in August, according to the latest housing data released by Florida Realtors®.

Closed sales of single-family homes statewide totaled 21,594 last month, up 4.2 percent over the August 2013 figure.

"For several months now, stability and consistency are key trends we're seeing in Florida's housing market, as the state's jobs outlook remains steady and the economy continues to grow," says 2014 Florida Realtors President Sherri Meadows, CEO and team leader, Keller Williams, with market centers in Gainesville, Ocala and The Villages. "The statewide inventory (active listings) for single-family homes last month rose 13 percent year-over-year, while the townhouse-condo inventory of active listings rose 8.9 percent.

"And once again, statewide median sales prices rose year-over-year for both single-family homes and townhouse-condo properties in August – a trend we've been seeing for 33 months in a row."

The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes last month was $181,000, up 3.4 percent from the previous year, according to data from Florida Realtors Industry Data and Analysis (IDA) department in partnership with local Realtor boards/associations. The statewide median price for townhouse-condo properties in August was $135,000, up 3.8 percent over the year-ago figure. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the national median sales price for existing single-family homes in July 2014 was $223,900, up 5.1 percent from the previous year; the national median existing condo price was $215,700. In California, the statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes in July was $464,750; in Massachusetts, it was $360,000; in Maryland, it was $278,626; and in New York, it was $239,000.

In Florida's townhouse-condo market, statewide closed sales totaled 8,848 last month, down 8.8 percent compared to August 2013. The closed sales data reflected fewer short sales last month compared to the previous year: Short sales for condo-townhouse properties declined 60.4 percent.

In the single-family home market, short sales dropped 49.1 percent year-to-year. Closed sales typically occur 30 to 90 days after sales contracts are written.

"In August, the annual growth rate of Florida home prices continued to converge toward a level typical of what we observed back in the housing market's stable, pre-boom days," says Florida Realtors Research Economist Dr. Brad O'Connor. "The fact that we continue to see price growth is an encouraging sign that more and more traditional owner-occupant homebuyers are emerging to keep demand strong in the face of a diminished investor presence in the market."

Inventory was at a 5.5-months' supply in August for single-family homes and at a 5.7-months' supply for townhouse-condo properties.

According to Freddie Mac, the interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.12 percent in August 2014, down from the 4.46 percent average recorded during the same month a year earlier.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Aug. 12, 2014 – Florida's housing market reported higher median prices, more new listings and gains in inventory during the second quarter of 2014, according to the latest housing data released by Florida Realtors®. Closed sales of single-family homes statewide totaled 67,579 in 2Q 2014, up 7.3 percent over the 2Q 2013 figure.
"Florida's housing market continued its steady course during the second quarter of 2014," say 2014 Florida Realtors President Sherri Meadows, CEO and team leader, Keller Williams, with market centers in Gainesville, Ocala and The Villages. "As of June, the state's unemployment rate is 6.2 percent. More jobs are being created, which is good news for Florida's economy and a strong housing market.
"And in another positive trend, median prices continue to rise, though the pace has slowed somewhat over the past several months. The statewide median price for single-family homes for 2Q 2014 was $180,000, up 22 percent over two years (compared to the 2Q 2012 median price of $147,450); and the statewide townhome-condo median price of $142,000 rose 29 percent looking at the same period ($110,000 in 2Q 2012)."
The 2Q 2014 statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes rose 5.3 percent from the same time a year ago, according to data from Florida Realtors Industry Data and Analysis department in partnership with local Realtor boards/associations. The statewide median price for townhouse-condo properties during the second quarter was up 10.1 percent over the year-ago figure. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.
Statewide, new listings for single-family homes over the three-month-period rose 11.5 percent year-over-year, while new townhouse-condo listings rose 2.8 percent.

Looking at Florida's townhouse-condo market, statewide closed sales totaled 30,918 during 2Q 2014, down 3.4 percent compared to 2Q 2013.
The closed sales data continued to reflect fewer short sales over the three-month period: Short sales for condo-townhouse properties declined 59.8 percent while short sales for single-family homes dropped 52.6 percent. Closed sales typically occur 30 to 90 days after sales contracts are written.
"The second quarter numbers show that Florida's real estate marketis settling in," said Florida Realtors Chief Economist Dr. John Tuccillo. "While prices throughout the state tend to be up, sales are mixed with single family sales growing, and condos and townhouses declining. There are a lot of reasons for this, but the major factors are the reduced role of bulk investors, along with the difficulties faced by households with essentially flat incomes and thus limited access to mortgage credit. This market is sustainable, but either or both of these roadblocks must be removed if it's to take off again."
In 2Q 2014, the median days on market (the midpoint of the number of days it took for a property to sell during that time) was 55 days for single-family homes and 56 days for townhouse-condo properties.
Inventory was at a 5.6-months' supply in the second quarter for single-family homes and at a 5.8-months' supply for townhouse-condo properties, according to Florida Realtors.
According to Freddie Mac, the interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.23 percent for 2Q 2014, up from the 3.69 percent average recorded during the same quarter a year earlier.

因為下降只發生在一個領域，是這麼富有戲劇性，分析師現在討論它是否是一個臨時的發生出於某種原因或別的東西。

除了潮濕的天氣，一些建築商表示，市政府允許進程佔用，可能是因為短期工作人員中城市建設主管部門不再今年。分析師認為放緩在南方 - 定義為一個廣大地區從馬里蘭州延伸到佛羅里達州到得克薩斯州 - 可能在今年夏天晚些時候導致開始取件。
美國商務部報告沒有包含其份額一線希望。縱觀整個第二季度，例如，建設單戶住宅的，從上年同期增長了4％。

June foreclosures down 2% – lowest since July 2006 IRVINE, Calif. – July 17, 2014 — RealtyTrac's

Foreclosure Market Report for June finds that 107,194 U.S. properties had a foreclosure filing during the month – a drop of 2 percent from May and 16 percent year-to-year.
"Nationwide foreclosure activity in June reached an important milestone, dropping to levels not seen since before the housing price bubble burst in August 2006," says Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac.
"Over the next six to nine months, nationwide foreclosure numbers should start to flat line at consistently historically normal levels," Blomquist adds.
Florida kept its No. 1 rank for foreclosures in June with 21,946 properties in some stage of the foreclosure process. That's a 6.44 percent increase month-to-month, but a 13.01 percent drop year-to-year.
Blomquist says the foreclosure problem is "no longer a widespread contagion threatening to derail the housing market's return to full health." However, he notes that it remains so in a few markets, and "it's important that any remaining foreclosure infection is addressed promptly to keep it from festering."
Other report findings
• A total of 47,243 U.S. properties started the foreclosure process for the first time (not including re-filings) in June, down 4 percent month-to-month and 18 percent year-to-year. It's the lowest level of foreclosure starts since November 2005 for an 8.5-year low.
• Lenders repossessed 26,889 U.S. properties via foreclosure in June, down 5 percent month-to-month and 24 percent year-to-year. It's the lowest level of repossession since June 2007 for an 84-month (seven-year) low.
• A total of 46,743 U.S. properties were scheduled for foreclosure auctions that did not yet take place (in some states they're also foreclosure starts) in June, down 1 percent month-to-month and 13 percent year-to-year for the lowest level since July 2006 – a 95-month low.
Scheduled foreclosure auctions increased from the previous month in 12 states including Florida, which saw a 15 percent rise in June.
Florida markets in first half of 2014
Despite the annual decrease, Miami posted the nation's highest metro foreclosure rate in the first half of 2014: 1.65 percent of all housing units (one in 61) had a foreclosure filing during the first half of the year.
Eight other Florida metro areas joined Miami among the top 10 metro foreclosure rates nationwide: Orlando at No. 2 (1.57 percent of all housing units with a foreclosure filing); Port St. Lucie at No. 3 (1.49 percent); Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville at No. 4 (1.49 percent); Tampa-St. Petersburg at No. 5 (1.41 percent); Lakeland at No. 6 (1.35 percent); Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach at No. 7 (1.29 percent); Ocala at No. 8 (1.26 percent); and Jacksonville at No. 9 (1.24 percent).
Of the Florida markets with top 10 foreclosure rates, all posted annual decreases in foreclosure activity except for Port St. Lucie (up 19 percent from a year ago), Lakeland (up 2 percent), and Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach (up 21 percent).
The only metro area outside Florida with a top 10 foreclosure rate in the first half of 2014 was Rockford, Ill., where 1.24 percent of housing units (one in 81) had a foreclosure filing during the six-month period.
The average time to complete the foreclose process in Florida was 925 days. The state ranked second to New Jersey (1,098 days) and was followed by New York (930 days), Hawaii (915 days), Illinois (850 days) and Massachusetts (784 days).
