By

The Orlando Florida real estate housing statistics for February 2015 have been released by the Orlando Regional Realtor Association.  Here is a direct link to the full MLS statistics details. These numbers are for Orange County and Seminole County in Florida and show properties sold via the MLS.  They do not include for sale by owner FSBO, courthouse auction, builder sales, or other non-MLS sales.

Month            Inventory          New Listings       New Pendings      Closed Sales    Median Price

Feb 2014             10,184                 3982                      3232                       1997                 $158,000

Dec 2014             11,557                 2947                      2101                       2803                  $169,000

Jan 2015              11,631                 4066                      2960                       2120                 $155,000

Feb 2015             11,446                 3922                      3072                       2377                 $165,000

The market overall appears to have stabilized.  Inventory that peaked 6 months ago in August has gone down some and appears to have mostly flattened off.  New listings are on par for what they have been in previous Februarys.  Same with new pendings.  The previously large gap between new listings vs. new pendings has shrunken considerably and now the difference is just 850 properties which is fairly reasonable.  

Closed sales remain strong and are up some 19% above the same month last year.  We now have a 4.8 month supply of homes available for sale. (11,446 inventory / 2,377 sales = 4.8 months' supply).  We are in a softer seller's market which will hopefully continue throughout 2015. The Orlando market is reasonably healthy for both buyers and sellers right now.

Prices have hovering around the 160s-170s mark for a while now.  The median price in Orange & Seminole County in February to $165,000 appreciation is basically flat.

Up 19% from the same month last year, WOW!  This Orlando report is the definition of what both Buyers and Sellers are looking for when shopping for a Realtor. I think they would be foolish not not to consider you, Rob Arnold.

Rob, closings up and inventory down is not such a bad thing. The fact that your prices are stabilized and moving up slowly  is a good thing! Enjoy your day!
