Orlando Housing Insights & Trends: July Market Recap

As summer winds down, Orlando’s housing market is getting a boost from mortgage rates dipping to their lowest point of 2025. With buyers regaining confidence and sellers adjusting to shifting conditions, the market is looking a little different than it did a year ago. Are we entering a window of fresh opportunities for both sides of the market? Let’s take a closer look at what the latest numbers reveal.

Median Home Prices

July’s median sale price recorded at $389,999, essentially flat year-over-year ($390,000 in July 2024) and in line with May and June’s $390,000. Pricing stability suggests buyers are value-focused while sellers are meeting the market.

Sales Performance

Closed sales reached 2,551 in July, a 1.5% increase from June (2,513) but 3.8% below July 2024. The month-over-month lift points to improving momentum as rates ease and late-summer buyers re-engage.

Inventory Growth

Active listings totaled 13,557, up 21.5% compared to July 2024 but down 1.7% from June (13,793). Supply remains ample by recent standards, giving buyers more choice and encouraging careful pricing for sellers.

Interest Rates

Mortgage rates averaged about 6.5% in July (6.46% YoY comparison), down from 6.7% in June and lower than July 2024’s 6.65%. This is the lowest level seen in 2025, offering buyers a little more breathing room on monthly payments.

Market Trends

New listings eased 1.7% month-over-month (3,788 in July vs. 3,854 in June). Distressed sales remained minimal at 0.8% of closings (21 homes), down from 26 in June. With national delistings on the rise, pricing right from day one remains essential to avoid losing momentum.

Key Takeaways:

Lower mortgage rates, steady prices, and above-year-ago inventory define July 2025 in Orlando. Buyers have options and slightly better affordability; sellers who price and present well can still compete effectively in this selective market.
