Welcome to the Engel & Völkers Florida 2024-year end Luxury Real Estate Market Report, your guide to real estate market trends throughout Florida and our analysis of what trends are happening in each metro area. The data compiled includes prior year comparisons of the total number of sales, average sales price median days to sale and active listings for single family homes and condominiums for each market analyzed.
The year began with high hopes of interest rate declines and more robust sales activity. Across the country, residential real estate sales declined to 30-year lows and Florida also saw a continued decline in total transactions closed. However, not all segments of the market are the same, and the $1 million and up market had almost an 8% increase in year over year sales with over 22,000 single family homes sold in this category. Sales prices went up to a record average sales price of $599,785 and a median price of $420,000.
While the number of single homes listed for sale in 2024 increased, it is still below the number of homes listed for sale in 2019 and this occurred while the population of the state has grown by over 2 million residents. Pent-up demand is the key trend that will continue into 2025. Because of this pent-up demand and continued influx of wealthy individuals relocating to Florida, the price of single-family homes statewide will continue to rise.
The condominium market has had a different narrative. Changes in state laws have provided uncertainty in how much the monthly HOA fees may go up. This has shifted this part of the real estate market to a buyer’s market as the state has 8 months’ worth of condominium inventory for sale. Luxury condos continue to attract high end buyers, and this property type is dominated by all cash buyers.
The Florida luxury real estate market, through three hurricanes affecting the state and higher interest rates proved to be not only resilient but also growing. For wealthy individuals, purchasing property in a tax-friendly state known for its warm weather, unique destinations and excellent amenities will remain strong. We are confident that 2025 will continue to see sales growth and price growth in the luxury segment and if interest rates decline the market will see exponential growth.
At Engel & Völkers luxury is not just a price point but a different level of service for all our clients. On behalf of all our franchise owners and real estate advisors we look forward to the opportunity to service all of your real estate needs.
Sincerely,
Peter Giese — CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida
Florida, known as the Sunshine State, offers a diverse blend of vibrant cities, picturesque beaches, and rich cultural heritage. From the bustling metropolis of Miami and the historic charm of St. Augustine to the serene beauty of the Gulf Coast and the thrilling attractions of Orlando, Florida presents a lifestyle for every preference. The state boasts a robust economy, no state income tax, and a year-round warm climate, making it a desirable destination for both residents and investors. Whether it's waterfront living, golf course communities, or urban luxury, Florida's real estate market continues to thrive, attracting those seeking both primary residences and vacation getaways.
Over the past four years, Florida’s housing market has experienced a remarkable transformation, evolving from a red-hot seller’s market to a more balanced landscape. Between 2021 and 2022, a combination of historically low interest rates, strong in-migration, and a robust economy fueled intense demand across all market segments, including single-family homes, condominiums, and luxury properties. Limited inventory and fierce competition drove rapid price appreciation, with homes spending an average of just 40 days on the market.
The market began to shift in 2023 and continued into 2024, as inventory levels rose and provided buyers with more options. This increase in supply helped slow the pace of price growth and extended the average days on the market to 76—nearly double the duration seen in the earlier period. Higher borrowing costs, driven by rising interest rates, significantly impacted affordability, reducing buyer urgency and contributing to a more measured demand.
Single-family homes, which experienced the most significant appreciation during the initial housing boom, followed a similar path to the broader market. While rapid price growth defined 2021 and 2022, 2023 and 2024 brought about stabilization. Increased inventory contributed to this balance, offering buyers a wider selection of properties and a more predictable market experience.
The condominium market closely mirrored the trends seen in single-family homes. Early gains during the seller’s market phase were followed by a period of stabilization as inventory levels increased and the pace of sales normalized. This shift allowed condo buyers more time to make decisions and created a healthier, more sustainable market dynamic.
Despite these changes, the luxury market—defined as properties priced at $1 million and above—demonstrated remarkable resilience. While this segment remained competitive, signs of moderation began to surface. Increased inventory and longer time-to-contract pointed to a transition toward a more balanced market environment, offering luxury buyers greater opportunities and negotiating power.
Several key factors continue to shape Florida’s housing market. Ongoing population growth, driven by domestic migration, maintains a steady demand for housing. Additionally, Florida’s thriving economy—supported by robust tourism, job creation, and a favorable business climate—provides strong market fundamentals. However, fluctuating interest rates remain a critical influence, as they directly impact affordability and buyer behavior across all price points.
Looking ahead, Florida’s luxury real estate market is expected to remain active, albeit at a more measured pace than in previous years. While the rapid acceleration of 20212022 has cooled, demand for luxury properties remains strong, particularly in highly sought-after regions that benefit from continued in-migration and economic stability. Regional differences will play a pivotal role, with factors such as job growth and population trends shaping local market conditions.
While a major market correction is not anticipated, the potential for price adjustments in select areas remains. Buyers and sellers alike are encouraged to approach the market with careful consideration of local trends and economic indicators. This analysis reflects general market trends and should not be considered financial or investment advice, but rather as a guide to understanding the evolving dynamics of Florida's real estate landscape.

The Bay and Gulf counties housing market experienced a remarkable transformation, evolving from a strong seller’s market to a more balanced and stable environment between 2021 and 2024. For single-family homes, the 2021 and 2022 period was defined by constrained inventory, rapid price appreciation, and moderate sales velocity, creating a competitive marketplace heavily weighted in favor of sellers. Buyers were often met with intense competition, with properties frequently selling above asking prices and within days of being listed.
From 2023 to 2024, the single-family home market began to shift noticeably toward a more balanced state, bringing relief to prospective buyers. While home prices continued to appreciate, the pace of growth slowed significantly. Inventory levels steadily increased, offering a broader selection of homes to choose from, which enhanced buyer confidence. The median days to sale rose considerably, reflecting a market where buyers could take their time and make informed decisions without the pressure of rapid transactions.
The condominium market in Bay and Gulf counties mirrored the broader market trends. From 2021 to 2022, this segment experienced a robust seller’s market characterized by limited inventory, fast price gains, and moderate sales velocity. Buyers often found themselves in competitive bidding situations, with condos selling quickly and often with little room for negotiation.
From 2023 to 2024, the condominium market transitioned into a more balanced state. Although prices continued their upward trajectory, the rate of appreciation moderated, reducing market volatility.

From 2021 to 2022, this high-end segment displayed a strong seller’s market, with limited inventory and moderate sales velocity that encouraged quick sales and strong offers. The luxury market’s unique appeal often drew competitive interest, pushing prices higher and reducing the negotiation window for buyers.
Between 2023 and 2024, a more balanced market dynamic emerged, offering a fresh perspective for both buyers and sellers in the luxury segment. While prices continued to appreciate, the rate of increase slowed, promoting a more strategic and less reactionary approach to transactions. The significant rise in inventory provided luxury buyers with a wider array of high-end properties, while the extended median time to contract suggested a market where negotiations could unfold at a more measured pace, aligning with the expectations of luxury clientele.
The luxury condominium market closely followed the patterns seen in the single-family home and broader condominium markets.

The condominium sector in Brevard County followed a similar trend. The strong seller’s market of 2021 and 2022 was driven by limited stock, rising prices, and healthy sales activity.
As the market evolved between 2023 and 2024, this segment also reached a more balanced state. While prices maintained upward momentum, the pace of growth slowed. Buyers benefitted from increased inventory and a longer median time to sale, reflecting a shift away from the urgency of previous years.

Broward County, encompassing vibrant cities like Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Pompano Beach, is celebrated for its dynamic lifestyle, waterfront living, and robust cultural scene. Known as the "Venice of America" for its extensive canal system, the area offers everything from luxurious oceanfront estates and high-rise condominiums to charming suburban neighborhoods. Broward’s thriving economy, top-rated schools, and proximity to Miami make it a prime choice for both families and professionals. With its mix of urban excitement, beachside relaxation, and strong real estate market, Broward County stands out as a hub for luxury living in South Florida.
Broward County's real estate market has undergone a significant transformation from 2021 to 2024. Initially, the market was characterized by intense seller activity, with rapid sales and skyrocketing prices. This surge was fueled by historically low interest rates and a high influx of buyers seeking the Florida lifestyle. However, this period of intense competition has given way to a more balanced market.
For single-family homes, the period saw a steady climb in median sale prices, a trend that persisted, albeit at a moderated pace. Specifically, the median sale price rose from $470,000 in 2021 to $616,250 in 2024. Simultaneously, a substantial increase in inventory levels has provided buyers with more options, with inventory climbing from 1,731 to 4,719. Notably, the median days to sale fluctuated, reflecting the market’s adjustment to these new dynamics.
The condominium market presented a similar pattern, with strong demand and significant price appreciation initially. However, from 2023 onward, a notable shift occurred, marked by a dramatic increase in inventory. This surge, from 3,010 units in 2021 to 10,239 in 2024, reflects a combination of increased construction and potentially a slowdown in buyer demand. The impact of this increased inventory has resulted in a significant increase in the median days to sale, demonstrating a cooling of the market.
The luxury single-family home market has experienced a period of evolution between 2021 and 2024. While demand remained strong initially, there has been a noticeable shift in buyer behavior. The median time to contract has seen significant increases, which highlights that high value buyers are taking more time to consider their purchase. Though, new listings, and inventory of luxury single family homes has grown steadily.
The Luxury condominium market has also made a clear change. From an initial sellers market, to a much more balanced one. Increasing inventory, and medians time to contract, allow for buyers to assess many more options than they could have previously.
These shifts in the luxury market can be attributed to several factors. Rising interest rates have undoubtedly impacted buyer affordability and investment decisions. Additionally, shifting economic conditions and changing preferences among affluent buyers have also played a role. The impact from the large amount of new construction condos, have also directly impacted the luxury condo section of the market.

Jacksonville, spanning Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, and St. Johns counties, is Florida’s largest city by land area and a dynamic gateway to the Southeast. With a bustling urban core, historic neighborhoods, and miles of pristine beaches, Jacksonville offers a diverse lifestyle for its residents. The city is known for its thriving business environment, vibrant arts and culture scene, and outdoor adventures along the St. Johns River and Atlantic coastline. Nearby St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city, adds a historic charm, while the region's strong job market and affordability continue to attract new residents.
The Jacksonville witnessed a dynamic shift in its housing market between 2021 and 2024. During the early part of this period the single-family home market was defined by a robust seller’s market. Limited inventory, rapid price appreciation, and quick sales created a competitive environment where buyers had to act swiftly to secure properties, often encountering bidding wars and elevated price points.

Inventory levels rose steadily, which provided prospective buyers with a wider array of choices and helped temper the rapid price increases of previous years.

Key West, located in Monroe County, is the southernmost point of the continental United States, known for its vibrant island culture, historic charm, and breathtaking sunsets. With its colorful architecture, lively Duval Street, and storied history—including the former home of Ernest Hemingway— Key West offers a unique blend of art, culture, and tropical living.

The unique blend of limited buildable land, strict development regulations, and demand for primary and vacation homes continues to bolster market stability. However, affordability challenges and environmental risks like rising insurance costs and storm threats remain key considerations for buyers and investors.“
Stephany Duvall License Partner & Broker of Engel & Völkers Florida Keys
During 2021 and 2022, Monroe County’s single-family home market was defined by limited inventory, rapid price appreciation, and moderate sales velocity. These conditions created a robust seller’s market, where properties moved quickly, and sellers often received competitive offers. The scarcity of available homes, combined with the allure of the Keys' lifestyle, contributed to heightened buyer urgency and swift transactions.
From 2023 to 2024, however, the market began to cool. While home prices continued to appreciate, the rate of growth moderated, signaling a shift towards market stability. Inventory levels steadily increased, offering buyers a broader selection of properties. This rise in available listings helped temper buyer competition and fostered a more deliberate approach to purchasing. The median days to sale increased significantly, reflecting a less frenzied market atmosphere. Buyers gained more time to explore their options and negotiate, marking a move towards a healthier balance between supply and demand.
The Monroe County condominium market followed a similar trajectory to the single-family home segment. Between 2021 and 2022, limited inventory, rapid price appreciation, and moderate sales velocity underscored a strong seller’s market. The appeal of low-maintenance living and access to waterfront and resort-style amenities drove robust demand for condominiums.
From 2023 to 2024, the market dynamics began to shift. Price appreciation continued, albeit at a slower pace, aligning with broader market trends. The increase in inventory levels provided buyers with a greater variety of options, easing the intense competition seen in prior years. The median days to sale grew significantly, indicating a deceleration in market activity. This shift offered buyers more negotiating power and opportunities to thoroughly evaluate their investments, contributing to a more balanced and sustainable market environment.
The luxury single-family home market in Monroe County also experienced a notable shift during this period. From 2021 to 2022, the market operated under strong seller-friendly conditions, with limited inventory and relatively swift sales. The Florida Keys' unique lifestyle, coupled with high-networth buyers' demand for exclusive properties, sustained a brisk market pace.
As the market evolved between 2023 and 2024, a more balanced landscape emerged. While prices in this luxury segment continued to appreciate, the rate of increase became more measured. Inventory levels saw a significant boost, offering luxury buyers an expanded selection of high-end properties. The median time to contract increased, signaling a reduction in buyer urgency. This shift allowed affluent buyers to explore the market more strategically, taking advantage of the broader inventory and negotiating opportunities.
The luxury condominium market mirrored the trends seen in other segments of Monroe County’s real estate landscape. During 2021 and 2022, the market was firmly in favor of sellers, with limited inventory and swift sales contributing to competitive conditions. Buyers sought luxury condos as a gateway to the Keys' relaxed yet upscale lifestyle, fueling strong demand.
By 2023 to 2024, the market moved towards a more balanced state. Although prices continued to appreciate, the pace of growth slowed, reflecting a broader market stabilization. Significant increases in inventory provided buyers with a wider array of luxury condominiums to choose from. The median time to contract also increased, suggesting a cooling of buyer urgency and a shift towards a more contemplative purchasing process.

The Miami-Dade condominium market exhibited a slightly different pattern compared to single-family homes. The 2021 to 2022 period saw robust sales activity initially, followed by a slight decline as the market began to stabilize. Despite this fluctuation in sales volume, both median and average sale prices consistently increased, underscoring the enduring appeal of Miami’s condominium offerings.

The Escambia and Santa Rosa counties housing market evolved from a strong seller’s market to a more balanced state between 2021 and 2024, showcasing a dynamic shift in market conditions. Limited inventory, rapid price growth, and quick sales characterized the early years, but by 2024, increased inventory and slower appreciation contributed to a steadier market environment.
From 2021 to 2022, single-family homes saw a robust seller’s market driven by limited choices, accelerating prices, and moderate sales velocity.
