The Orlando Florida real estate housing statistics for May 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

May 2014            10,908                 4693                      3275                       2683                 $165,000

Mar 2015            11,529                 4418                      3244                       3132                 $177,100

Apr 2015             11,725                 4508                      3303                       3107                 $175,000

May 2015            11,798                 4431                      3197                       2951                 $181,900

The market continues to stabilize.  Inventory has remained stead around the 11 to 12,000 mark for about 9 months now.  The number of new listings and new pendings remain stable as well.  The gap between those 2 numbers hovers around the 1200 mark which is a little high but deals are definitely closing.

Closed sales remain strong.  Though sold are slightly less than they were in March and April, they are still higher than we have seen otherwise for several years.  We now have a 4.0 month supply of homes available for sale. (11,798 inventory / 2,951 sales = 4.0 months' supply).  We are in a seller's market which will hopefully continue throughout 2015. The Orlando market is reasonably healthy for both buyers and sellers right now.

Prices continue to climb.  The median price of $181,900 is the highest price we have seen since the 2008 market crash.
