2023 stands to be another strong & steady year for sellers in Central Florida & Florida overall. Florida is the state with the highest influx of new residents which will help keep demand strong and inventory low in the near future. However, everyone should keep a close watch on whether the Fed continues to hike rates in the ensuing months along with the current regional banking crisis. If credit starts tightening substantially while the Fed sticks to a hiking cycle, then the market could start shifting to the downside even quicker.
