With consistent demand and long-term growth, the Orlando real estate market continues to attract buyers looking for both primary homes and investment opportunities.
Working with an experienced Orlando real estate agent is key when exploring available Orlando homes for sale. The right professional guidance helps you identify properties that fit your lifestyle, location preferences, and budget. Fannie Hillman + Associates is widely regarded as one of the best realtors in Orlando, offering deep local knowledge and personalized support.
Whether you’re purchasing your first property, upgrading to a larger home, or relocating, our real estate agents in Orlando are ready to help you navigate the market and find the right home with confidence.
As of early 2026, Orlando’s market has moved into a more balanced phase. Prices have stabilized with a metro-wide median around $410,000 to $443,000, with homes taking around 54 to 73 days to sell on average. Inventory is higher than it was during the 2021 to 2022 peak, giving buyers more options and room to negotiate. It is a healthier market than the frenzy of recent years, which benefits both buyers and sellers.
Fannie Hillman + Associates focuses on the most established, in-demand neighborhoods in Central Florida such as Audubon Park, Baldwin Park, College Park, Maitland, Orwin Manor, Winter Park. These are neighborhoods defined by real character, community roots and long-term value rather than just square footage and new paint. If you are drawn to places with history and identity, these are the areas worth exploring.
The fundamentals are strong. Orlando is the fourth largest city in Florida, added the most private-sector jobs in the state in January 2025, and sees roughly 1,500 new residents move in every week. Population growth drives sustained housing demand, and the diversified economy spanning tourism, healthcare, tech, professional services gives the market durability. Buyers with a five-plus year horizon consistently do well here.
Baldwin Park, Audubon Park, College Park, Maitland and Winter Park are all strong choices for families. Each neighborhood has good school zones and established community character. Baldwin Park offers walkability and organized amenities. College Park has brick streets and a classic neighborhood feel. Maitland gives more space with excellent schools at a reasonable price. The best fit depends on what daily life you want to come home to.
Florida has no state income tax, which is a major draw for buyers relocating from higher-tax states. Orange County property taxes typically run between 1 and 1.5 percent of assessed value annually, and Florida’s Homestead Exemption reduces the assessed value by up to $50,000 for primary residences. The exemption also caps annual assessed value increases at 3 percent or the CPI, whichever is lower, protecting long-term owners from runaway tax bills.
For most inland Orlando properties, annual premiums currently run between $1,400 and $2,300 depending on the age of the home, roof condition and proximity to water. Central Florida has not faced the same carrier exits and premium spikes that hit coastal counties hard, making inland Orlando genuinely more insurable. Flood insurance is not always required but is worth evaluating for any property near a lake or low-lying area.
Yes. Orlando has a wide selection of condos and townhomes across all price points, particularly in neighborhoods like Baldwin Park and College Park where townhomes are a primary property type. Prices range from well under $300,000 for modest condos to over $1 million for premium townhomes in desirable locations. For buyers who want low maintenance and great neighborhood access without the commitment of a full house, these options are well worth considering.
Get pre-approved before you start looking. Well-priced homes in popular neighborhoods still move quickly, and sellers want to see buyers who are financially ready. Florida has specific disclosure requirements and title insurance conventions that differ from other states, so working with an experienced local agent from the start protects you through the process. Fannie Hillman has been guiding buyers through this market since 1981 and knows every step of the journey.
For buyers who are financially stable and planning to stay at least five years, yes. Stabilized prices, expanding inventory and slightly more negotiating room make this a buyer-friendlier environment now than 2021 or 2022. Mortgage rates around 6 percent are manageable, and refinancing remains an option if rates drop meaningfully down the road. The long-term story of population growth, job creation, Florida’s tax advantages continues to favor Orlando buyers who think beyond the short term.
