The Central Florida real estate market continues to be strong. How can we tell?
We start by looking at the median home price. Last year, it was $180,000; in today's market, it is up to $205,000. That's a 12% increase over a year, which is huge.
Similarly, the inventory remains low; we only have a three-month supply of homes. To put that into context, a normal or balanced market has about six months of supply in housing inventory. Supply is so low right now because mortgage rates are sitting at 3.5%, which is still historically low. This means there are currently a lot of buyers in the market.

Distressed sales in our market are down 50%.

Another great and telling statistic is that distressed sales (short sales and bank-owned properties) are down by 50% compared to a year ago. If you're a traditional home seller in this market, this means you have less competition out there.
Finally, the average days on market—the average time it takes a home to sell—is around 60 days. All in all, we're really excited about the state of the Orlando real estate market.
