The Florida real estate market remains buoyant, while the US real estate sector, in general, shows signs of slowing down due to the rise in US interest rates. Ranking released by REDFIN shows that of the ten metropolitan cities that saw the real estate market appreciate the most (year-to-year comparison), eight are in the state of Florida.

8 metros in Florida are among the TOP 10 with the fastest growing sales price

Florida, like the entire US, also felt the impact of rising interest rates. However, it still resists and maintains the upward trend in prices. The good news is that the Florida market is showing signs, albeit timid, that it is returning to more balanced scenarios. Inventory is rising and competition among buyers is fierce, with bidding wars decreasing.

It remains to be seen if this is a trend or something passing while interest rates are high. Fact is, demand for real estate in Florida remains high. Experts warn that the recent small slowdown is likely to remain only as long as interest rates are high. And the chances of the FED (American Central Bank) deciding to adopt a bearish bias in the next meetings is not low.

So this can be a unique and super opportune time for anyone thinking about buying in Florida. Take advantage of the small adjustment in the market, which may be momentary, and bet on the high expectations of continued appreciation of properties.
