Start with the dated local finding: Homestead, FL's current ACS housing baseline includes 27,474 total housing units, 25,638 occupied units, and 1,836 vacant units. In practical terms, those counts can still help a borrower establish the scale of the measured housing base before comparing tenure, rent, current listings, property condition, and financing. The figures describe stock across the survey period; they do not say that 1,836 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 27,474 total units with 25,638 occupied and 1,836 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Homestead, FL increased from 1,737 in the prior ACS period to 1,836 in the current release, a reported movement of 5.7%. In the current housing stock, 1,836 units equal 6.7% of the 27,474 total.
