Florida’s housing market shows positive gains
“Throughout the year, we’ve seen Florida’s housing market strengthen, and that positive momentum continued in September,” says 2013 Florida Realtors President Dean Asher, broker-owner with Don Asher & Associates Inc. in Orlando.
“September marks 22 months in a row that the statewide median sales prices rose year-over-year for both single-family homes and for townhome-condo properties.”
Looking at Florida’s year-to-year comparison for sales of townhouse-condos, a total of 8,279 units sold statewide last month, up 11.4 percent from September 2012. Meanwhile, pending sales for townhouse-condos last month increased 4.6 percent compared to the year-ago figure.
Inventory was at a 5.3-months’ supply in September for both single-family homes and for townhouse-condo properties, according to Florida Realtors.
According to Freddie Mac, the interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.49 percent in September 2013, up from the 3.47 percent average recorded during the same month a year earlier.

Government Shutdown affecting mortgage rates
Mortgage Rate Trend Index
Only 16% of mortgage experts polled this week expect rates to rise over the short term. Citing the current federal shutdown and debt ceiling debate, 42% predict further decreases and the same number (42%) expect no change.
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell for the third straight week in three months, as a decline in consumer confidence and the government shutdown forced lower rates.
The average rate on the 30-year loan dropped to 4.22 percent.
