Florida's February 2026 home sales rose, with closed sales and average prices increasing slightly, contradicting national reports claiming falling home values and rising foreclosures. Distressed sales remain under 1.5% of total sales. Experts note list prices differ from actual sale values, and price reductions often still yield profits. The market is stabilizing post-COVID, with balanced buyer-seller activity and mostly fixed-rate mortgages limiting foreclosure risks.
