Dec 2011 9,732 2641 2800 8095 2125 103
The year end inventory of homes for sale in metro Orlando plummeted to just 9,732 homes for sale. This is the lowest level we have had since mid-2006. As is typical of December and the holidays, new listings and new pendings were down from previous months of the year. Additionally a larger number of properties always expire at year end because December 31 is often the expiration date on many listing agreements and thus 609 listings expired at the end of December. But sales remain steady. We had almost as many sales last month as we did in October and February 2011 - that is great news.
Home prices appear to be on the rise. We have had 4 months in a row where the average home price went up. December ended the year with a median home price of $118,000 (up from $106,000 in December 2010) and an average home price of $172,500 (up from $146,600 in December 2010).
Here is an additional analysis put out by the Orlando Realtor Association for you to review as well. Prices seem to be going back up slow but steadily despite what the media might have you believe. I am actively buying investment property at the moment as well. Interest rates are extremely low, so do not wait for them to pass before they go back up. Florida is still on sale but who knows for how long.

Rob
I'm always interested in seeing where the Orlando market is headed, having lived and owned homes there the most recent being a house in Palma Vista (Metrowest) where we saw prices skyrocket and plummet. We sold it in 2011 just before the madness. Glad to see signs of recovery.
Happy selling!
