If you are an Orlando Real Estate Investor it is important for you to understand the underlying Real Estate environment. Orlando Regional Realtor Association (ORRA) puts out their monthly statistics. Please click here for a link to the full details including reports, graphs and videos. I have included some of ORRA’s talking points which should provide some insight to the strengths and weaknesses.
Overall Opinion
The Orlando Real Estate market currently favors sellers, particularly within the lower price categories. These categories are defined as under $300,000. The increase in sales during May is attributed to the traditional burst of seasonal activity combined with slight slips in interest rates. Some of the indicators include:
- declining inventory
- rising prices
- low months of supply – 2.3 months

- The median price for normal existing homes sold in May is $218,000, an increase of 7.4 percent from the median price of normal existing homes in May 2016 and a reduction from April 2017.
