As 2025 comes to a close, Florida’s housing market is doing something many didn’t expect a year ago it’s ending on a strong, steady note. According to Florida Realtors, the market wrapped up the year with positive trends that point toward balance, resilience, and opportunity heading into 2026.
Real Estate Expert Cassi Currier of The Currier Group sees this as an important moment of clarity. “The story of 2025 wasn’t about extremes,” Cassi explains. “It was about normalization. And healthy markets are built on balance, not frenzy.”
A more balanced market takes shape
Throughout 2025, Florida experienced a shift away from the hyper-competitive conditions of prior years. Inventory increased modestly, price growth stabilized, and buyers and sellers adjusted expectations. Rather than signaling weakness, these changes laid the groundwork for sustainability.
Homes spent slightly more time on the market, negotiations became more thoughtful, and pricing strategies mattered more than ever. This balance allowed both sides of the transaction to move forward with greater confidence.
Cassi notes, “A market where buyers can breathe and sellers can plan is exactly where smart decisions happen.”
Buyer confidence begins to rebuild
One of the most encouraging trends reported by Florida Realtors was renewed buyer confidence. As interest rates became less volatile and pricing stabilized, buyers re-entered the market with clearer expectations and stronger intent.
“For buyers, predictability is powerful,” Cassi says. “When they understand the market and feel supported, they’re more comfortable making long-term commitments.”
