In mid‑2025, the Florida real estate market has shifted decisively in favor of buyers, driven by a noticeable increase in housing inventory across Miami and the entire state. As more homes become available, buyers now have stronger negotiating power—and this is the perfect opportunity for Global Group to help clients secure better deals.

Increased Inventory = Greater Buyer Leverage

According to Florida Realtors’ May 2025 report, Florida saw a significant rise in housing inventory during April, easing pressure on prices. Complementary data from Trading Economics confirms that active listing counts have increased year-over-year, creating a more balanced market.

Days on Market Increasing

Homes are staying on the market longer, which benefits buyers with more time to evaluate offers and negotiate terms. According to the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), the median days on market in Miami-Dade County has increased notably in 2025. This trend is echoed by the Miami Association of Realtors, where the average days on market have risen from 28 to around 40 days, giving buyers more negotiation time.

Price Growth Cooling Off

While prices remain higher than a year ago, the rapid growth of previous years is slowing. South Florida homeowners are increasingly listing properties, with sales nearly doubling, as reported by Newsweek. This additional inventory is helping to temper price growth, making it a less aggressive seller’s market and more favorable to buyers.

What This Means for Buyers

• Better Price Negotiations: Sellers are more open to offers below asking price.
  
• Flexible Terms: Buyers can negotiate concessions such as closing cost assistance, repair credits, or extended move-in dates.
  
• Opportunity Window: Buyers who act decisively now can take advantage of improved market conditions before demand and interest rates shift again.
