More South Florida Homeowners Experiencing Increased Home Equity

This is our re-write based on an article by Amber Bonefont.
While the national housing market has slowed down, South Florida continues to witness positive gains in home values, albeit at a slower pace. According to a report by ATTOM Data, a provider of nationwide property data, approximately 65.3% of residential properties with mortgages in South Florida were classified as "equity rich" in the first quarter of this year.
To determine the number of properties building equity, researchers analyzed mortgaged residential properties in the area with varying loan-to-value ratios. To be considered "equity rich," the combined estimated loan amount could not exceed 50% of the estimated market value, indicating that homeowners possessed at least 50% equity.
The data reveals a steady increase from the previous two quarters in the tri-county area: in the fourth quarter of 2022, around 64.5% of homes were classified as equity rich, while in the third quarter of 2022, approximately 63% of homes f. ...

What is an FHA Loan?
An FHA loan is a mortgage that is insured by the Federal Housing Administration. The FHA is a government agency that was created in 1934 to increase homeownership in the United States.

Southwest Florida and the Real Estate Market TODAY

The real estate market is currently experiencing an unusual cycle. Typically, the market moves between a buyer's and seller's markets, but the situation now is different. Both the supply and demand have decreased. According to a Redfin study, new listings dropped by 21.8% year-over-year during the four weeks ending April 2, one of the most significant declines since the start of the pandemic.
One reason for the decrease in supply is that many homeowners have no desire to move as they have secured generational-low mortgage rates in recent years. While interest rates have fallen for four consecutive weeks, they are still twice as high as before 2021. Homebuyers who are not deterred by current mortgage rates quickly purchase new listings. Almost half of the homes that go under contract are sold within two weeks of listing. This is an increase from about 25% at the beginning of 2023.
