Median Home Prices

November’s median home price came in at $385,000, reflecting a 1.3% increase year-over-year and a notable rise from October’s $380,000. Despite slower sales volume, pricing resilience suggests sellers who remain on the market are holding firm, supported by limited inventory.

Sales Performance

Closed sales totaled 1,820 in November, a slight 0.8% increase compared to November 2024. Month-over-month, sales dropped 22.1% from October, a seasonal shift that aligns with holiday slowdowns rather than weakening demand.

Inventory Trends

Active listings declined to 12,516 homes, down 4.1% from October but still 7.9% higher than this time last year. Fewer new listings are tightening available options, creating pockets of competition for well-priced homes even as overall activity slows.

Interest Rates

November’s average mortgage rate came in at 6.05%, a notable improvement from 6.69% in November 2024. While rates edged slightly higher compared to October, the year-over-year decline continues to support buyer confidence heading into the end of the year.

Market Activity

New listings fell sharply by 21.4% month-over-month, with 2,891 homes entering the market in November. Distressed sales accounted for just 1.3% of all transactions, underscoring continued market stability despite seasonal cooling.

Key Takeaways:

November 2025 reflects a classic end-of-year Orlando housing market with slower sales, fewer listings, and steady pricing. Buyers willing to stay active may find reduced competition, while sellers planning ahead for early 2026 can benefit from preparing strategically during this quieter period.
