April 2025 Orlando Market Update

As of the end of April 2025, the Orlando real estate market is showing signs of  balance and opportunity.  After several years of rapid price growth and limited supply, things are beginning to level out — giving buyers more options and sellers a reason to price strategically.

For buyers, this is a refreshing shift. With inventory up nearly 42%, there's  more breathing room to compare homes, negotiate terms, and avoid bidding wars. In fact, as of April, 63% of homes sold for below asking price . While interest rates remain higher than they were a few years ago, they’ve held steady — helping buyers plan more confidently.

Still, desirable homes are selling.  Buyers should act decisively once the right property comes along, especially in competitive neighborhoods or when builders offer incentives on new construction.

The increase in inventory is a clear signal:  sellers now face more competition.  With buyers having more options, pricing your home too high can result in longer days on market and less interest up front. The homes that are selling fastest are the ones that are  priced right from the start  and show well — especially in the early days of listing.  Sellers that are looking for top dollar need to ensure their properties show well inside AND out.  With so much inventory available on the market, a home with poor curb appeal can turn away a potential buyer before they even see the inside of the house.

That said, the median price holding steady is good news. It shows that well-positioned homes are still holding value — just in a more selective market. Sellers who work with their agent to  develop a pricing strategy based on real-time data will have the best chance at attracting strong offers.

The Orlando market is shifting into a more sustainable rhythm. We're no longer in the fast-paced frenzy of 2021–2022, but that's a good thing — especially for buyers who’ve been sidelined by low inventory. For sellers, it’s a chance to succeed by being proactive, market-aware, and realistic about their home values.

This more balanced landscape means  opportunity exists on both sides of the transaction — but the right strategy is more important than ever.
