We won't lie: Finding housing in Orlando is a challenge. If you're hoping to buy, here's what you need to know now about the real estate market.
Home sales in the Orlando area continue to climb, with 3,150 houses sold in May 2023, up from 2,766 the previous month.
Costs are also up — median home prices have increased every month this year, and the interest rate is 25.4% higher than it was in May 2022 — and houses fly off the shelf, so to speak, averaging less than a month on the market in some areas.
Here's a partial snapshot of the current market from ORRA, the Orlando Regional Realtor Association (orlandorealtors.org).
