South Florida Housing – Single-Family Update (June 2022)


There is now little doubt that the residential real estate market within the South Florida MSA (Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties) has changed.  As of June 2022, the single-family home market has experienced five straight months of declining year-over-year sales as well as ten out of the last 12 months.   We continue to see, however, sale prices of single-family homes continuing to rise at a double-digit pace.

According to FloridaRealtors, there were a total of 4,051 existing single-family home sales throughout South Florida during the month of June 2022. This represents a 25.8% decline from the number of existing single-family sale transactions completed during the June 2022 (5,462). 

The number of closed sales have declined within ten of the prior 12 months:

  • June 2022 – 4,051 (down 25.8% year-over-year)
  • May 2022 – 4,151 (down 15% year-over-year)
  • April 2022 – 4,239 (down 20.8% year-over-year)
  • March 2022 – 4,542 (down 11.7% year-over-year)
  • February 2022 – 3,442 (down 3.0% year-over-year)
  • January 2022 – 3,309 (up 1.0% year-over-year)

Based on the current level of activity, it is anticipated that the number of overall sales of existing single-family homes will continue to decline due to limited buyer demand, rising interest rates and exceedingly high home prices.

Overall dollar sales volume during the the month of June 2022 was $4.1 billion which represents a 16.3% year-over-year decline.  This is also down from the YTD high in March 2022 of $4.2 billion and well behind the recent peak of $4.9 billion as of June 2021.

  • June 2022 – $4.1 billion (down 16.3% year-over-year)
  • May 2022 – $4.0 billion (down 15% year-over-year)
  • April 2022 – $4.0 billion (down 19.9% year-over-year)
  • March 2022 – $4.2 billion (down 9.1% year-over-year)
  • February 2022- $3.1 billion (up 9.6% year-over-year)
  • January 2022 – $2.8 billion (up 13.7% year-over-year)

Single Family Home Sale Prices (June 2022)

The median sale price is one of the preferred statistical methods for measuring price activity as it is not as sensitive of extraordinary high or low sale prices (that are not typical of a particular market area) which can easily skew the values.
