“Home price growth remained fairly calm by recent standards during the month of March,” said Florida Realtors Chief Economist Dr. Brad O’Connor. “Also, more homes were listed on Florida’s multiple listing services this March than in March 2023, but the year-over-year changes were more modest than what we saw in January and February. New listings of single-family homes were up 7.7% in March, well off the pace of nearly 17% in January and over 28% in February. In the townhouse and condo category, year-over-year growth in new listings in March was 11%, compared to over 31% in January and about 30% in February.”
