Real estate in Florida has always been closely watched. As a vacation and retirement mecca that beckons people with its warm climate, sandy beaches, water sports, golf and tennis, Florida’s real estate trends are important to watch. Florida realtors must be aware of market trends and forecasts and the impact they have on Florida’s economy.
Leasing, renting and selling property generates revenue for the state. Jobs are created and the economy depends on the real estate market. In 2003, real estate was booming in Florida but quickly plummeted in 2006. By 2009, the market had stabilized, but not before taking a major hit. Since then, the real estate market has been bumpy, but as of 2012, seems to be going back up. Looking at the housing market throughout Florida, it is clear that there is still a parity of value depending on location.
