Orlando Real Estate

Your local REALTOR® serving Orlando and surrounding communities.

Market Overview

I work Orlando regularly and know the metro well, and I will say plainly what I am and am not: my deepest day to day knowledge is the Lake County and west Orange corridor, Clermont, Horizon West, Winter Garden, Minneola and Groveland, not any single Orlando neighborhood. Orlando is adjacent coverage for my clients, and where a neighborhood specialist serves you better, I will tell you. Orlando is the heart of Central Florida's real estate market. From downtown condos to suburban family homes, it offers options across every price point. A strong job market anchored by tourism, tech, healthcare, and defense drives consistent demand, and the attractions, dining scene, and year-round sunshine continue to attract buyers and investors from around the globe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Orlando has a diverse economy spanning tourism, healthcare, tech, aerospace, and defense. My clients love the year-round sunshine, no state income tax, and the sheer range of lifestyles from walkable Baldwin Park to modern Lake Nona to historic College Park.

The August 2026 median sale price for a single-family home in Orlando was $425,000, down 4.4 percent from $444,750 a year earlier, with a year to date median of $440,000, down 1.1 percent. Townhomes and condos tell a different story: the median is $226,250, down 9.5 percent, with 8.3 months of supply. That is a genuine first-time buyer entry point inside the city, and most buyers I speak with never consider it. Market figures as of August 2026. Source: Stellar MLS.

My top picks depend on lifestyle. Baldwin Park is the best walkable urban village. College Park offers historic charm with quick downtown access. Lake Nona is unmatched for new construction, biotech jobs, and modern amenities. Dr. Phillips leads for Restaurant Row and A-rated schools. Thornton Park is my pick for young professionals wanting an urban condo lifestyle.

Orange County effective property tax rates in Orlando run about 1.1 to 1.3 percent of assessed value. HOA fees vary enormously: many older single-family neighborhoods like College Park have no HOA. Master-planned communities like Baldwin Park run $115 to $200 per month, downtown condos in Thornton Park range from $350 to $800 monthly, and Lake Nona community fees typically fall between $150 and $325 per month.

Downtown Orlando sits about 18 miles from Walt Disney World, a 25 to 30-minute drive. Cocoa Beach and the Atlantic coast are 55 miles east, roughly a one-hour drive via SR-528. Gulf Coast beaches near Clearwater are 100 miles west, about 90 minutes via I-4. Many of my Orlando clients keep beach chairs in the trunk year-round.

Yes, with the right strategy. Orlando single-family supply was 4.0 months in August 2026, homes sold in 53 days, down 10.2 percent year over year, and sellers received 97.8 percent of list. If your budget is under $300,000, look hard at townhomes and condos, where the median is $226,250 and supply sits at 8.3 months. Orange County and the City of Orlando both run first-time buyer assistance programs, and the amounts and eligibility rules change, so I will walk you through what you currently qualify for.
