Amid all of the uncertainty about the economy and the recent upward trend in mortgage rates, the Central Florida housing market remains strong! According to the most recent statistics released by the Orlando Regional Realtors Association (ORRA), closed sales in Orange County were up by 11%, and new listings increased by just over 4%. The median price for Orange County homes held steady at $504,436, and average days on the market (DOM) dropped to 52 days - a 17% decrease.
Our Central Florida housing market is resilient and remains balanced with a slight trend toward favoring buyers. There is ample inventory, and sellers have recognized the need to price competitively.
If you've been waiting to list your home, let's discuss a strategy to ensure that it's market ready. If you're in the market to buy, prices are coming back to earth, and now is the time to move.

You may have seen that the number of U.S. properties with a foreclosure filing rose a sobering 26% during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year.
But rather than being a sign of widespread borrower distress, experts suggest that the return to pre-pandemic foreclosure norms in Q1 is instead an indication that more homeowners are struggling with unanticipated increases in the cost of home insurance, property taxes and homeowners' association dues.
When determining how much home you can afford, it is important to consider the total cost of ownership vs. the monthly mortgage payment alone.
Contact me today to learn more.

Homes with foreclosure filings jumped 26% in the first quarter, reflecting in part rising property taxes and insurance premiums that hit homeowners.

As an OCPS Partner in Education, I had a wonderful time last Friday afternoon from 5-8pm at the Palm Lake Elementary School Spring Carnival! I sponsored Two4Art to provide free airbrush tattoos for the kids, and had the opportunity to meet and chat about the real estate market with so many great folks while they waited in line. Thank you Diana, owner of Two4Art for doing such an amazing job and for staying after 8pm to ensure that all the children who'd been waiting in line got their tattoo! Thanks to everyone who stopped by the busiest tent at the carnival!
