Places I actually work

Ten Central Florida neighborhoods, each with its live market reading pulled from the same data behind the ZIP tool.

All neighborhoods

The thing nobody says correctly

Florida is tightening hard. Orlando is tightening least.

Across the country there are still slightly more homes for sale than a year ago. Across Florida, listings have fallen off a cliff, down 14.1% in a year, and much of that is sellers giving up and pulling homes off the market rather than buyers absorbing them. Orlando sits between them at -4.1%, the mildest contraction of any major Florida metro.

That is not weakness. It means Orlando still has enough real supply for a buyer to negotiate, without the violent supply collapse in Naples, Cape Coral and Jacksonville. Orlando is the most balanced major market in the state.

Above the line means more choice than last year. Below it means less.

The tool

Three markets, one metro

Every ZIP is scored on four things: homes for sale, how long they sit, how often sellers cut price, and how many buyers use FHA loans. Each is measured against what was normal in that same ZIP before the pandemic, not against a statewide average.

Market 1 · Strong

Few homes for sale. Sellers still hold the cards.

There are not many homes for sale in this ZIP code compared to what is normal here. Homes sell faster than in most of Central Florida, and fewer sellers are cutting their price. These are usually established neighborhoods where people want to live and stay. Builders are not adding many new homes, so supply stays low.

Market 2 · Mixed

Sellers feel confident. Buyers are hesitating. Both are right.

This ZIP code is sending mixed signals. Supply and price cuts are close to normal for this area. Homes take a little longer to sell than they used to. In a lot of these areas, brand new construction is a real competitor, and builders are offering deals that resale homes cannot easily match.

Market 3 · Soft

More homes, more price cuts, longer waits. This is the buyer's zone.

This ZIP code has more homes for sale than normal, more sellers cutting price, and the longest waits to sell in the metro. These areas often have a lot of FHA loans, which means buyers here are more sensitive to interest rates. Some of these areas are short-term rental corridors where investors own a lot of the homes.

A ZIP code is not a street.

Before you make a move, let us pull the month of supply on the specific streets you care about. That takes a few minutes and it is the difference between a decision and a guess.
