Florida voters could raise home values this November, without a single new house being built.

Amendment 3 would raise Florida’s homestead exemption to $250,000 by 2028, cutting property taxes for homeowners. Florida’s median home price is around $410,000, down from the $493,000 peak in 2022. Local agents expect values to rise slightly if it passes. Buyers shop by monthly payment, so a lower tax bill leaves more room for the home itself.

Orlando’s housing market is changing, and numbers show sellers are having to respond to a more selective pool of buyers.

More homes came onto the market in September, with new listings rising year over year. But overall inventory barely changed, suggesting that Orlando’s housing supply is still relatively constrained compared with the national market. Meanwhile, the median list price fell to $410,000, and nearly one in four listings had a price reduction. Homes also spent considerably longer on the market than the national average.

For buyers, that means more opportunities to compare properties and negotiate. For sellers, the latest data highlights the importance of realistic pricing and strong presentation in a market where homes aren't necessarily moving quickly.

Orange County Approves $9B+ Budget as Housing, Safety & Infrastructure Stay in Focus

The FY 2026–27 spending plan takes effect October 1 and comes as county leaders balance several major priorities, including public safety, housing affordability, transportation and infrastructure.

$19.5M is allocated to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, as the county works toward creating or preserving more than 10,000 housing units by the end of 2028.

$1.1B is dedicated to public safety, including the Sheriff’s Office, Fire Rescue and Corrections.

Infrastructure remains part of the conversation, with concerns raised about traffic, road maintenance and the need to keep pace with Orange County’s continued growth.

County officials are also preparing for the potential impact of Amendment 3. According to the county, passage could reduce Orange County property-tax revenue by an estimated $165 million in 2027 and $275 million in 2028.

Mortgage rates are pushing higher again, with the 30-year fixed now averaging 7.45%.

For investors, the bigger takeaway is not simply that rates are up. It’s that higher borrowing costs make deal selection and underwriting more important.

A property that worked at a lower rate may not produce the same cash flow today. That means investors need to pay closer attention to purchase price, financing structure, rental income, and the margin built into the deal. Higher rates don’t eliminate opportunity but they do raise the standard for what makes a good investment.

Mortgage Rates Near 7% Are Reshaping the Central Florida Market

Mortgage rates could reach 7% for some buyers after the Fed raised its key rate by 0.25%. In Central Florida, home sales fell nearly 9% from July to August, while the median price remains just above $400K. Higher borrowing costs will make monthly payments tougher for buyers, but they may also create more negotiating room as sellers face slower demand. If you’re buying, the rate is only part of the equation. Price, concessions, and the total deal structure matter just as much.

Mortgage rates gave back the post-Fed spike and moved back near the lowest levels of the week.

If you’re deploying capital into real estate, the takeaway is simple: financing conditions are still moving fast. A 5–10 basis-point shift can change monthly debt service, cash flow, and the price that makes a deal work. The next moves will be driven heavily by economic data and oil-price volatility.

Orlando has 121.5% more sellers than buyers. That’s 19,868 sellers competing for roughly 8,968 buyers.

If you’re deploying capital in Central Florida, you have more room to negotiate price, repairs, credits, and closing terms. Inventory alone doesn’t make a property a good investment. The numbers still have to work. Buy below market. Underwrite the rent. Protect the cash flow. Let the seller competition work in your favor.

Orlando’s average rent is now $1,900, down $100 year over year.

For investors, I do not see that as a reason to leave the market. I see it as a reason to tighten the underwriting.

A deal should work at the rent the property can realistically achieve today not because we assume rents will be higher next year. In this market, the entry price and the quality of the property matter more.

At SafetyNet, we would rather pass on a deal than depend on future rent growth to make the numbers work.

Orlando asking rents are down 1.6% year over year. Median asking rent hit $1,682 in July.

If you’re buying rental property here, your underwriting needs to work at today’s rent without depending on aggressive rent growth to create the return. Run the deal at current market rent. Stress-test vacancy, repairs, taxes, insurance, and financing.

If the property only works because you’re projecting higher rent next year, the margin is already too thin. The better entry is a property where the purchase price and operating numbers create room from day one. Orlando is still producing opportunities. You just need tighter deal math.
