Noticing some shifts in our local market: the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford area just saw one of the largest price pullbacks among major U.S. metros in mid-Q3, with median listing prices per square foot down 2.6% compared to last year. What’s driving this? Sellers are adjusting their expectations, and buyers are taking their time—leading to more balanced pricing and greater opportunities for those looking to make a move. Higher mortgage rates and evolving market dynamics are motivating sellers to set more realistic prices, which opens up options for qualified buyers. For many navigating high prices, these changes could bring some relief as inventory expands and sellers work harder to attract the right buyer. As we head into the heart of the homebuying season, we’re seeing a market where negotiation and keen market insight matter more than ever—something I prioritize in every transaction, whether helping buyers, sellers, or investors find the best fit.
