OCTOBER MLS STATS

The latest Central Florida real estate market update from Stellar MLS is out for October 2025, giving us a clear picture of current trends across Ocoee, Winter Garden, Windermere, Gotha, Clermont, and the greater Orlando area.

Here’s what the numbers really mean — in a simple, consumer-friendly way.


Inventory Is Steady but Higher Than Last Year

76,216 active listings
• 0% change from last month
• +9% from last year

Buyers now have more choices than they did a year ago, but month-to-month inventory has stabilized. This is a sign of a balanced market, not a declining one.

If you’re selling: pricing + presentation matter.
If you’re buying: you have more selection and less pressure.


New Listings Are Up Significantly

21,254 new listings
• +9% month over month
• +19% year over year

More homeowners are entering the market, leading to a better selection for buyers and increased competition for sellers.


Central Florida Market Snapshot

The October snapshot shows a market that’s active, stable, and highly opportunity-driven for both buyers and sellers.


Buyer Activity Continues Rising

16,800 pending sales
• +1% from last month
• +29% from last year

This jump demonstrates strong demand despite interest rates and higher inventory. Florida relocation continues to fuel buyer activity.


Closed Sales Hold Strong

14,014 homes sold
• Even with last month
• +16% from last year

Homes are still selling at a very healthy pace, with more closings than this time last year.


Homes Are Taking Slightly Longer to Sell

77 days on market
• +3% from last month
• +26% from last year

Buyers aren’t rushing the way they were a year or two ago.
That means:
✔ Accurate pricing
✔ Strong visuals
✔ Professional marketing
… all matter more than ever.


Sales Volume Remains Solid

$6.2 Billion in total sales volume
• Flat month-to-month
• +11% year-to-year

This reinforces that the market is steady and financially healthy.


Prices Have Stabilized

Average sales price: $443,011
• +1% from last month
• -4% from last year

We’re seeing normal post-boom stabilization — not a drop.
Month-to-month consistency means buyers and sellers can plan with confidence.


Months of Inventory Reflect a Balanced Market

5.4 months of inventory
• +1% from last month
• -6% from last year

This sits right in the ideal balanced zone of 4–6 months.
Neither buyers nor sellers have full leverage — strategy is what makes the difference.


What This Means for YOU

If You’re Selling

• Buyers are active but selective
• Homes take longer to sell
• Pricing correctly is crucial
• Professional marketing matters
• It’s still an excellent market — with the right strategy

If You’re Buying

• More choices
• Less competition
• More stable pricing
• A clearer path to smart negotiation
• One of the most balanced environments we’ve seen in years
