Orlando sales have increased for four consecutive months. These rising numbers and stable inventory create a unique window of opportunity for your move.

Are you waiting for the 'perfect' time to move, or are you missing the incentives currently sitting right in front of you? If you’ve been waiting to see where things are headed before making a move, here’s what the latest numbers show.

Inventory. The number of homes on the market remains relatively flat compared to this time last year. We are currently sitting at 11,741 units, which is only a tiny increase from the 11,697 units we saw twelve months ago. 

While we saw a small rise in available homes during the summer, that number dipped as we moved through the fall and winter. Overall, the supply of homes has stayed remarkably steady.

Sales activity. The good news is that sales have ticked up. To get an accurate picture, I always compare the current month to the same month of the previous year. This removes any "seasonal" noise. 

We have now seen four consecutive months of sales increases. These aren't massive leaps. Some months we see an extra 50 units sold, and this past month was up by 120 units. However, these are positive signs that the market is gaining momentum.

What this means for buyers. We are currently in a slight buyer's market, which puts you at an advantage. You still have plenty of great homes to choose from, and builders are still offering excellent incentives. It is very common in today’s world to see sellers or builders buying down interest rates or paying your closing costs. 

If you are looking for a home, you have more control over the deal than you might think.

“The Orlando market isn’t crashing or exploding. It’s steady, showing modest growth and opportunity for both buyers and sellers.”

What this means for sellers. Because buyers have more options, you cannot simply list your home "as is" and expect a quick sale. Success in this market requires significant prep work. Your home needs to be staged correctly, photographed professionally, and backed by a solid marketing plan. Most importantly, your pricing must be spot on. 

In a market where buyers are in control, pricing is the most critical factor in getting your home sold.

The Orlando market isn’t crashing. It isn’t exploding either. It’s steady, slightly favoring buyers, and showing modest growth in sales activity. That creates an opportunity for both sides if you have the right plan.
