Orlando, FL 32828
Orange County · Orlando metro · Data through July 2026
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.

The four numbers behind this call
Each number is compared to what was normal in this ZIP code in 2018 and 2019, before the pandemic, for this same month of the year. That matters. A price-cut share of 22% sounds high until you learn this area normally ran higher than that.
Active inventory
180
+24.2% vs a year ago
7% less than before the pandemic
How many homes are for sale right now. More homes means more choice for buyers and more competition for sellers.
Days on market
59 days
36% longer than before the pandemic
How long a typical home sits before it goes under contract. Longer waits mean buyers are taking their time.
Price cuts
23.2%
Normal here was 27.9%
17% less than before the pandemic
The share of listings that dropped their price. When this climbs, sellers are asking more than buyers will pay.
FHA loan share
15.1%
Orange County estimate
The share of home loans in this county that are FHA loans. FHA is a government backed loan popular with first time buyers who put less money down. A high share means the area feels interest rate changes faster.
Typical asking price here right now: $492,200. That is the middle of what sellers are asking, not what homes actually close for.

What this means for you
The same market is good news for one person and hard news for another. Here is the honest version for each side.
If you are buying here
- You are not going to find a bargain here. That is the honest truth.
- What you get instead is the steadiest part of the market. This is where the floor holds when other areas soften.
- Move quickly on a home you like. Good ones do not sit long in this ZIP.
- Do not skip inspections to win. Speed is fine, blind risk is not.
If you are selling here
- You have the strongest hand in the metro right now. Use it, but do not get greedy.
- Price at the market, not above it. Even here, an overpriced home sits and helps your neighbors sell theirs.
- Your home still has to show well. Buyers compare every home they see that day.
If you are investing here
- Low supply means low bargain potential. Do not expect a discount.
- This is a stability play, not a value play. Buy here to protect money, not to multiply it fast.
- Rent demand is usually steady in these areas, which supports a longer hold.
Now what?
A ZIP code is not a street. Before you make a move in Orlando, FL, let us pull the month of supply on the specific streets you care about. That takes me a few minutes and it is the difference between a good decision and a guess.
