Orlando home sales jump as fewer homes hit the market

Orlando’s housing market gained momentum this summer as sales rose at more than twice the national pace. At the same time, fewer homes were available for sale, helping keep prices steady even as many markets across the country continued to cool.

Home sales pick up during the summer

Orlando’s housing market strengthened in July, with home sales rising nearly 7% from a year earlier. That growth ranked sixth among the 40 largest U.S. housing markets, placing Orlando just ahead of Miami for annual sales gains.

Higher mortgage rates continued to influence affordability, but buyers remained active across every major housing type. Townhomes led the way, with sales climbing more than 12% year over year. Condo sales also moved higher, rising 2.2%. Even with mortgage rates high, buyers continued to step into the market.

Fewer homes on the market

The number of homes for sale fell over the past year, reversing a period of inventory growth that had given buyers more choices. While inventory increased nationwide, Orlando moved in the opposite direction.

The market ended July with fewer homes available for sale than both Tampa and Miami. Homes sold quickly enough that the number of available listings continued to shrink.

The pullback was widespread. Buyers shopping for any type of home had fewer options than they did a year ago. As options became more limited, some sellers likely found themselves in a stronger negotiating position. For buyers, the shift meant more competition and fewer homes to choose from than a year earlier.

Home prices hold steady

Even as housing conditions evolved, Orlando home prices remained remarkably stable. The median sale price was essentially unchanged from a year ago, supported by rising demand and a 6.1% decline in inventory.

Single-family homes remained the market's strongest segment, with the median price rising 2.1% year over year to $450,000. Condo prices fell 6.2%, though sales increased, suggesting the segment may have been regaining traction after a period of weakness. Townhome prices also edged lower but remained nearly 20% above year-ago levels.

Overall, the market became more balanced after an extended period of buyer-friendly conditions. Buyers remained active, inventory tightened, and home values largely held steady. While fewer homes were available than a year ago, Orlando still offered more favorable conditions for buyers than many major U.S. markets.
