New Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association data shows inventory spikes as interest rates reach new heights.

State of the Market

• Inventory for November was recorded at 8,202, up 5.0% from October when inventory was recorded at 7,813. This is the eighth month in a row inventory has risen.
• Overall sales fell 17.8% from October to November. There were 1,996 sales in November, down from 2,429 sales in October. This is the sixth month in a row that home sales have fallen. A double-digit drop in sales from October to November is not out of the ordinary heading into the holiday season.
• November’s interest rate was recorded at 7.3%, down from 7.8% in October, when rates reached their highest level in more than 22 years.
• The median home price for November was recorded at $375,000, down slightly from $377,000 in October.

• New listings fell 7.8% from October to November, with 3,188 new homes on the market in November, compared to 3,456 in October.
• “A balanced market is a six-month supply of homes. In November, for the first time since January 2019, we have more than four months of supply,” said Lisa Hill, Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association President. “With an increase in inventory and with interest rates showing signs of coming down, we have conditions for a strong, healthy market heading into 2024.”
