"With a drop in the median home price and another big jump in inventory, July's data shows how quickly conditions in the Orlando real estate market can change," said Tansey Soderstrom, president of the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association. "We've now seen three consecutive months of significant increases in inventory. While prices may not be dropping much, buyers finally have more options when purchasing a home. The local market continues to show signs of cooling off a bit and is trending toward a more balanced market."
