August 2026 Central Florida Market Snapshot
What It Means Across Every Area I Cover
If you're relocating to Central Florida, the right numbers to look at aren't just Orlando's — they're the numbers in the specific area you're actually considering. Here's how August shook out across the six communities I work in most.
| Area | Median Price | Days on Market | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orlando | $400,676 | 64 | ~flat |
| Kissimmee | $349,769 | 48 | +1.4% |
| Winter Garden | $599,054 | 42 | +4.6% |
| Davenport | $346,181 | 58 | +15.7% |
| Winter Park | $880,809 (July) | 37 | +18.5% |
| Apopka | data pending | — | — |
A few things stand out. Kissimmee and Davenport remain the most accessible entry points, both under $350K, with Davenport's fast-moving days-on-market (58, down sharply from 70 a year ago) showing real demand from relocation buyers drawn to its affordability. Winter Garden and Winter Park sit at the other end — both posting double-digit-adjacent or double-digit annual appreciation, reflecting their draw for move-up and luxury buyers. Orlando itself is the steadiest of the group — essentially flat year-over-year, which is good news if you want predictability while you compare neighborhoods.
What this means depending on what you're looking for:
- Budget-conscious or first-time relocators: Kissimmee and Davenport offer the most room, with Davenport's shrinking days-on-market signaling it's heating up — worth moving on sooner rather than later.
- Move-up or luxury buyers: Winter Garden and Winter Park are appreciating quickly; if either is on your list, timing matters more than in Orlando's steadier market.
- Anyone still deciding where to land: Orlando's flat pricing and steady 64-day pace make it a low-pressure home base to explore from while you compare the surrounding areas.
