    The analysis involved over 40,000 unique IDs from residential real estate offices registered in an MLS system.

The winners can be searched by county, city, or geographic region, with Broward County having the most winners (51) followed closely by Hillsborough (50).

    Florida's popularity as a destination for real estate agents stems from its status as one of the fastest-growing states in the country, with a population exceeding 23 million. The state's housing market remains strong, with single-family sales holding steady and inventory growing across all types of housing.

    According to Florida Realtors' chief economist Brad O'Connor, the statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes was $411,638 in August, down slightly from last year. The real estate industry accounted for 24.1% of the state's gross product in 2023, with a total economic impact of $123,000 per typical home sale.
