Condo Market Update 🏙️✨ ☀️🌴
The condo market in major Florida and Texas metros like Miami, Jacksonville, Austin, and San Antonio is seeing a shift.
Here’s the scoop: 📉 Condo prices are on the decline as inventory skyrockets and buyers are holding back due to steep HOA fees and insurance costs. In Tampa, for example, condo listings surged by 57.2% with prices falling by 4.9%. Houston follows suit with a 35.9% increase in inventory and 6.5% price drop.
🏠 On the flip side, the single-family home market in these states is faring better, with prices generally trending upwards amidst the changing landscape.
