Residential real estate market within the Orlando – Kissimmee – Sanford metro area continues to remain in a state of transition. As of April 2022, the single-family home market has experienced five straight months of declining year-over-year sales and a year-to-date decline of more than 9%.

This represents a 16% decline from the number of existing single-family sale transactions completed during the April 2021 (3,822).
