Florida’s housing sales activity higher as 2011 ends

At the end of 2011, Florida’s resale home markets reported higher sales compared to the previous year. This is the third consecutive year for statewide home activity to end the year on a positive upswing – higher year-over-year sales also were reported at the end of 2010 and 2009.

“Although sales were down slightly in December, they’re up strongly for the year, which reinforces the reality that Florida is in a slow real estate recovery,” said Florida Realtors Chief Economist. “Our expectation is that recovery will continue through 2012.”
