Orlando, FL housing market

Orlando, FL metro median sale price $407K in Jul–Sep 2026, down 0.4% year over year. Also days on market, price cuts, affordability and ZIP-code figures.

The median sale price in the Orlando, FL metro is $407K over Jul–Sep 2026, down 0.4% from the same 3 months a year earlier. FHFA's repeat-sales index for the metro points the other way: up 0.8% through Q2 2026.

On median sale price, Orlando ($407K) ranks 5th of the 22 Florida metros Pecan Street tracks, between Sarasota / Bradenton ($426K) and Port St. Lucie ($406K). On median days on market, Orlando (77 days) ranks 16th of the 22 Florida metros, between Ocala (77 days) and Tampa / St. Petersburg (76 days). On share of listings with a price cut, Orlando (36%) ranks 5th of the 22 Florida metros, between Lakeland (38%) and Wildwood (36%).

Listings spent a median 77 days on market in Sep 2026, more than in most of the 385 U.S. metros Pecan Street ranks on this measure. 36% of active listings carry a price cut; the 3-month average vs a year earlier is 1.4 points lower. Median asking prices sit about 1% above the median sale price. Building permits authorized 1,574 new housing units in Sep 2026.

At the 7.12% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, principal and interest on a median-priced home come to $2,190 a month; at 28% of gross income, that takes about $94K a year. The median sale price equals about 14 years of HUD Fair Market Rent, a ratio up 0.9% from a year earlier. That ratio is lower than in most of the 373 metros. Active listings ask a median $222 per square foot; the 3-month average vs a year earlier is down 2.9%.

In 11 of the 12 ZIP codes in the table below, median list prices are lower than a year earlier; one is higher.

Rank across the U.S. metros Pecan Street tracks, on market data alone — a higher rank means more of that measure (more price cuts, faster price growth, a wider asking-vs-sale gap, a higher price-to-rent ratio, or more days on market). The bar shows where this metro sits within that metric’s own cohort (left is more, right is less); ↑ and ↓ mark the positions furthest from the middle, and rows are ordered the same way. Metrics without data for this metro are omitted.

Affordability

Price-to-rent ratio≈ 14 +0.9% YoY
↓279th of 373
Asking price / sq ft$222 -2.9% 3-month average vs a year earlier

Price-to-rent divides the median sale price by the annual HUD Fair Market Rent (a 3-bedroom, 40th-percentile benchmark), so it is a directional rent-vs-buy read, not a cap rate; its year-over-year change is directional in the same way. Asking price per square foot is the median across active for-sale listings (Realtor.com), as of Sep 2026. The bar under a figure places this metro among the U.S. metros we track on that measure, highest first.

Market pressure

Listings with a price cut≈ 36% -1.4 pts 3-month average vs a year earlier
197th of 385
New housing units permitted1,574

The median asking price $410K runs about 1% above the median sale price $407K.

Price-cut share is the portion of active for-sale listings that have taken a price reduction (Realtor.com), as of Sep 2026. New housing units authorized by residential building permits in the metro that month — new supply in the pipeline, which counts of existing listings don't capture (US Census Bureau, Building Permits Survey), as of Sep 2026. Asking is the median list price of active listings (Realtor.com, Sep 2026); sale is the headline median of recent closings (Redfin, Jul–Sep 2026) — distinct sources and windows, so the gap is a directional read, not a like-for-like difference. The bar under a figure places this metro among the U.S. metros we track on that measure, highest first.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Building Permits Survey · data through September 2026

Builders in the Orlando metro area pulled 12,586 single-family permits in the twelve months through September 2026, 17.3% fewer than in the twelve months before. So far in 2026, permits are running 13.9% below the same months of 2025.

Why it matters. Permits come before starts, and starts come before new homes for sale, so this is the earliest read on how much new building is planned in the Orlando area. When the permit pipeline shrinks, buyers see fewer new-build options later; when it grows, sellers of existing homes face more competition from builders.

Source: FHFA house price index; recession dates from NBER · data through Q2 2026

FHFA's all-transactions index for the Orlando metro area in the second quarter of 2026 was 0.8% above its level a year earlier. Since 1979, prices have risen an average of 5.3% a year. Nationally, prices were 3.0% higher than a year earlier.

Why it matters. Long-run context shows how the latest change in Orlando home prices compares with the market's own history, including the recessions shaded on the chart. When appreciation slows, sellers have less room for a list price to run ahead of recent sales, and buyers feel less pressure to stretch to keep up; when it speeds up, the reverse holds: list prices can run ahead of recent sales and buyers compete harder.

Year-over-year home-price change from two independent methods — Redfin (sale prices over the last 3 months) and FHFA (quarterly repeat-sales index). When they diverge, the market is mid-shift; cite the figure with that in mind.
