Hey friends!
Let’s talk about what’s really going on in the Orlando real estate market right now—and how it might impact your next move. Whether you’re casually browsing or seriously planning your next step, the market is shifting in ways that bring both opportunity and strategy to the table.
📊 A Market in Motion: More Homes, More Choices
We’re finally seeing inventory levels rise—and not just by a little. Active listings are up nearly 42% year-over-year, bringing us closer to a balanced market. Translation? Buyers have more options and less pressure to jump the second a home hits the MLS. It’s a refreshing shift from the “blink and it’s gone” pace we’ve seen in recent years.
💵 Prices Are Stabilizing—And That’s a Good Thing
Home prices are holding steady around $390,000, which is a modest increase compared to previous surges. This is great news for buyers who were feeling priced out, and a gentle nudge for sellers to be thoughtful and strategic with their pricing. It’s not about underpricing—it’s about understanding the market and setting expectations right.
🛡️ Insurance: Don’t Let It Be a Surprise
One thing we’re talking about a lot with our buyers lately? Homeowners insurance. Florida continues to have some of the highest rates in the country, and it can impact your monthly payment more than you’d think. Our advice? Shop early, ask questions, and consider newer homes or low-risk areas to help ease the burden.
🏘️ Builder Perks & New Construction Deals
If you’re looking at new construction, now’s a smart time to explore. Builders in hotspots like Lake Nona and Horizon West are offering buyer-friendly incentives—think rate buydowns, design credits, and even closing cost assistance. These little perks can go a long way in today’s market.
🌼 Bloom Advice for Buyers & Sellers
Whether you’re planting roots for the first time or selling a place you’ve loved for years, here’s some Bloom Home Group guidance just for you:
✨ For Buyers:
Take your time. Use the increased inventory to your advantage. And don’t be afraid to negotiate—you’ve got more leverage now than you did a year ago.
✨ For Sellers:
Presentation is everything. Stage your home, invest in great photos, and be upfront about costs like HOA fees or insurance. Buyers are more selective—and rightfully so.
