Orlando has reported a decrease in new real estate listings and total sales from May to June 2025, amidst stable home prices and a slight drop in interest rates. New listings in June fell by 8.4%, with 3,854 homes entering the market compared to 4,208 in May. Additionally, overall sales dipped by 1.5%, dropping from 2,551 in May to 2,513 in June.
The median home price in Orlando remained unchanged at $390,000. Concurrently, interest rates experienced a slight reduction from 6.8% to 6.7%. This situation led experts to analyze the implications on the local housing market.
Lawrence Bellido, president of the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association, noted various factors could cause sellers to delist their properties. He emphasized the importance of pricing homes realistically from the outset to avoid potential delisting.
In June, the Orlando area saw its home inventory decrease by 1.2%, with 13,793 homes available, down from 13,957 in May. This decline in inventory, coupled with a slight increase in the supply of homes available to buyers, which reached 5.49 months, indicates that the market is approaching a balanced state, typically characterized by about six months of available inventory.
The sales of single-family homes saw a significant decline, totaling 1,979 units sold in June, reflecting a 4.2% drop from May’s figure of 2,066. The median price for single-family homes was reported at $429,000. In contrast, the market for condominiums showed a strong upward trend, with a 17.6% increase in sales, translating to 281 units sold in June compared to 239 in May. The median price for condos stood at $195,000.
Additionally, sales of townhouses and villas also saw a slight increase, totaling 253 units sold in June, up from 246 in May. The median price for these properties was reported at $335,000.
On a different note, distressed home sales, encompassing bank-owned properties and short sales, represented 1.0% of all sales, with 26 homes sold in June. This figure shows an 18.2% increase compared to sales in May.
Economic observers suggest the Orlando real estate market is currently undergoing an adjustment period, highlighted by the decrease in new listings and total sales. However, home prices and interest rates appear to maintain their stability. As inventory levels rise, it is recommended that sellers set realistic prices on their properties to avoid potential delistings.
This market activity reflects broader trends seen in many urban areas, where fluctuating listings and sales need to be navigated carefully by both buyers and sellers. The performance of the Orlando real estate market will likely be influenced by economic conditions and buyer sentiment in the months to come.
