Continuing what’s been a common trend, Florida’s existing-home and condo sales soared in March, Florida Realtors reported Thursday.

Existing-home sales increased 24 percent last month with a total of 16,294 homes sold statewide compared to 13,090 homes sold in March 2009. That means home sales activity in the Sunshine State has increased in the year-to-year comparison for 19 months. In addition, existing-home sales in March increased 37 percent over statewide sales activity in February.

The increase in sales for existing condos was even more impressive. Florida Realtors reported a 63 percent jump in statewide sales of existing condos in March compared to the same month last year. On a month-to-month basis, existing-condo sales surged 40.6 percent.
