Central Florida Housing Market Report
Monthly data & analysis for Orange, Seminole, Lake & Volusia counties — from Realtor Brenden Rendo, The Homes In Orlando Team.
Data through: June 2026 (ORRA per-county analytics) · Page updated: August 1, 2026
Latest Market Snapshot
| County | New listings | Closed | Median price | Median YoY | Avg price | Avg DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orange | 1,700 | 1,293 | $456,782 | +4.2% | $628,749 | 56.5 |
| Seminole | 569 | 476 | $437,652 | +4.4% | $503,902 | 48.9 |
| Lake | 598 | 370 | $389,628 | +0.4% | $470,031 | 72.1 |
| Volusia | 370 | 313 | $344,304 | -2.2% | $371,572 | 77.3 |
Why this page changed shape: Through April 2026 ORRA published a blended monthly narrative for the Orlando MSA. From the June 2026 cycle it publishes per-county analytics instead, and the blended median, the single-family and condo split, and months of supply are no longer released. Rather than estimate retired figures, this page now reports the per-county data ORRA actually publishes. One real gain: the old MSA blend included Osceola and left out Volusia, so it never matched our service area. These four counties do. May 2026 is a gap month, with no release in either format.
Coverage & sources: This report covers the four counties we serve, Orange, Seminole, Lake, and Volusia. Figures are from the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association (ORRA) per-county analytics exports for June 2026. Osceola is excluded. Closed sales, new listings and the days-on-market figure are four-county totals, with days on market weighted by each county’s closed sales. The inventory figure is the one number ORRA still reports market-wide rather than per county, so it covers the Orlando metro and cannot be broken out by county. Underlying data: MidFlorida Regional MLS, formerly Stellar MLS.
What the Numbers Mean Right Now
- The four counties have split. Median prices rose year over year in Orange (+4.2%) and Seminole (+4.4%), went nearly flat in Lake (+0.4%), and fell in Volusia (-2.2%). There is no single Central Florida price trend right now, which is why a metro-wide number would mislead you.
- Sales are up everywhere, even where prices are not. Closed sales rose year over year in all four counties, led by Lake (+17.1%) and Orange (+9.0%). Volusia closed 9.4% more homes while its median fell, which is what a market clearing through inventory looks like.
- Lake County is absorbing a supply wave. New listings there jumped 30.3% year over year, far beyond the other three counties, and its median went flat. More competition among sellers, more room for buyers.
- Speed depends entirely on where you are. Seminole averages 49 days on market, Orange 57, Lake 72, Volusia 77. The four-county weighted average of 60 days hides a 28-day spread between the fastest and slowest county.
- Distress is still negligible. Across all four counties, June recorded just 7 closed short sales and foreclosures combined.
Weekly Price Reduction Report
Data as of: August 2, 2026 · Source: Stellar MLS via the Bridge RESO Web API, four-county pull by The Homes In Orlando Team · Updated: weekly
The ORRA figures above are monthly. This section is the weekly read. Every week we pull each active price-reduced listing across Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Lake counties, which makes it the fastest-moving measure of seller pressure in Central Florida.
| County | Active reductions | Week over week | Avg. reduction | Share past 60 days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orange | 547 | +2 | 3.16% | 52.50% |
| Seminole | 192 | -11 | 3.03% | 48.40% |
| Volusia | 263 | -13 | 3.20% | 55.50% |
| Lake | 304 | +29 | 3.10% | 56.20% |
| Central Florida | 1,306 | +7 | 3.13% | 53.37% |
Methodology: A listing counts as price-reduced when its current list price sits below its original list price and the listing is still active in Stellar MLS at the time of the weekly pull. Average reduction is measured against original list price, not against any prior reduction, and the four-county average is weighted by county volume. The 60-day figure uses cumulative days on market, and it matters because that is the threshold where sellers typically stop defending list price and start negotiating closing cost credits, repair credits and rate buydowns. Osceola County is excluded; our four-county service area is Orange, Seminole, Lake and Volusia.

90+ Day Listing Report
Data as of: August 10, 2026 · Source: Stellar MLS via the Bridge RESO Web API, four-county pull by The Homes In Orlando Team · Updated: weekly
This section counts every active residential listing across Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Lake counties that has been on the market more than 90 days. Where the price reduction report measures what sellers have already done, this measures how long they have been waiting, which is the clearest read on where negotiating leverage sits.
| County | Listings past 90 days | Median price | Median days | Already reduced | Past one year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orange | 1,937 | $439,990 | 168 | 76.82% | 271 |
| Seminole | 470 | $385,449 | 151 | 85.11% | 47 |
| Volusia | 1,133 | $388,500 | 177 | 79.61% | 182 |
| Lake | 1,102 | $390,000 | 167 | 76.32% | 124 |
Counts cover active residential listings only, filtered to property type Residential so that land, commercial and lease listings are excluded. Days on market is cumulative, which means a listing that was withdrawn and relisted still carries its full history rather than resetting to zero.

How to Read the Central Florida Market
Four numbers tell you almost everything about whether you have leverage as a buyer or a seller. Here's how to read them.
Months of supply — who has leverage
Months of supply estimates how long it would take to sell every active listing at the current pace. Under ~4 months favors sellers; 4–6 is balanced; above ~6 favors buyers. ORRA stopped publishing months of supply after the April 2026 cycle, so this page no longer carries that figure. Use days on market and the county median trend as the leverage read instead. Pricing and negotiation skill matter more than market momentum here.
Days on market — urgency
Rising days on market means buyers can take their time; falling means good listings move fast. At a four-county weighted average of 60 days, well-priced homes are moving while overpriced ones sit, though Volusia at 77 days runs far slower than Seminole at 49.
The 60-day rule — why pricing right matters
In this market, listings that pass roughly 60 days on market almost always end in a price reduction or concession. Sellers who price correctly from day one typically net more than those who start high and chase the market down. We track these price-reduction patterns weekly across all four counties.
Median price vs. single-family median
The "median price" blends houses, condos, and townhomes. For a true read on your situation, look at the segment that matches your home: the single-family median runs notably higher than the blended figure here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which counties does this Central Florida housing market report cover?
This report covers the four counties we serve: Orange, Seminole, Lake, and Volusia. We exclude Osceola County from our service-area commentary. Headline figures come from the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association (ORRA) with underlying data from Stellar MLS.
What is the median home price in Central Florida right now?
There is no longer a single blended figure. From the June 2026 cycle ORRA publishes per-county medians instead, and for June 2026 they range from $344,304 in Volusia to $456,782 in Orange, with Seminole at $437,652 and Lake at $389,628. Anchor to the county you are actually shopping in, because the spread between them is over $112,000.
Is it a buyer's market or a seller's market in Central Florida?
It depends on the county, and ORRA no longer publishes months of supply to answer it in one number. In June 2026 Orange and Seminole medians were still rising year over year, while Volusia's fell 2.2% and Lake went essentially flat, so buyers have real leverage in Lake and Volusia and less of it in Orange and Seminole.
How long do homes take to sell in Central Florida?
The four-county weighted average is about 60 days on market, but the county spread is wide: Seminole 49 days, Orange 57, Lake 72, Volusia 77. Well-priced homes move faster than that, while overpriced listings sit. Listings that pass roughly 60 days almost always end in a price reduction or concession — so pricing correctly from day one usually nets the seller more.
Are Central Florida home prices going up or down?
It depends where. Against June 2025, median prices rose in Orange (+4.2%) and Seminole (+4.4%), were essentially flat in Lake (+0.4%), and fell in Volusia (-2.2%). Volusia is the only one of the four counties where prices are down year over year.
How often is this market report updated?
Monthly, following each ORRA release (data from Stellar MLS). We also track price-reduction patterns weekly across all four counties. For your exact neighborhood, you can create a live market report that updates automatically.
