As we move into the summer season, the Orlando housing market in May 2025 showed signs of continued growth, increased inventory, and greater opportunities for buyers. According to the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association (ORRA) , this is the highest inventory level since January 2011 — giving homebuyers more choices than they’ve had in over a decade.
Here’s a breakdown of what happened and what it means for buyers and sellers across Central Florida, especially in growing areas like Davenport, Winter Garden, and Lake Nona .

📈 What This Means for Buyers
Buyers are finally seeing more options and more time to decide. With the supply of homes growing and average time on market increasing slightly, this is one of the best windows we’ve had in years for buyers to explore communities and make competitive —but not rushed — offers.
Even though interest rates edged up to 6.78%, they remain in a fairly stable range, and motivated buyers are adjusting. New construction remains a strong option, particularly in places like Davenport and St. Cloud where builders are still offering move-in-ready homes and incentives.
💰 What This Means for Sellers
Inventory is growing, but so is buyer scrutiny. Homes are no longer flying off the market in days. If you're planning to sell, pricing strategy and presentation are absolutely critical. Homes in good condition and priced competitively are still moving, but bidding wars are less common unless a home stands out.
I offer free, honest evaluations to help sellers prepare effectively for today's market — where standing out matters more than ever.
🧐 Market Outlook for Summer 2025
As we head deeper into the summer months:
-
Expect inventory to remain strong
-
Buyers will likely stay cautious due to rate sensitivity
-
New construction will continue to draw interest in growth corridors
Lawrence Bellido, President of ORRA, summed it up well:
“For buyers, the increase in inventory offers more choices... For sellers, it’s a signal to stay competitive—pricing and presentation matter more than ever.”
