Central Florida price cuts hit 1,247 listings as stale inventory stays high

Price reductions across Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Lake counties totaled 1,247 in the latest weekly read, with 57.74% of those homes on market at least 60 days. The data suggests Central Florida sellers are still facing slow absorption, even as the weekly count of cuts dipped from the prior period.

Why it matters: - Price cuts are still widespread across Central Florida housing, signaling that many sellers are adjusting to buyer resistance rather than holding firm. - More than half of the reduced listings have sat on the market 60 days or longer, a sign of lingering inventory fatigue. - The average reduction was 3.30% off the prior asking price, showing that most cuts were modest rather than dramatic.

What happened: - Active residential listings with a price reduction in the seven-day window ending Nov. 1, 2026 totaled 1,247 across Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Lake counties. - The weekly total was down 95 from the prior seven-day window, a 7.08% decline. - Of the reduced listings, 720 were on the market 60 days or more, equal to 57.74% of the week’s cuts. - The analysis was based on Stellar MLS data pulled by The Homes In Orlando Team.

The details: - Orange County had the most reductions at 516 listings. - Seminole County posted the deepest average reduction at 3.51% off list. - Lake County had the highest share of 60-plus-day listings at 61.86%. - Volusia County recorded 252 reductions, up 21 from the prior week. - Lake County recorded 291 reductions, up 11 from the prior week. - Orange County reduced listings fell by 117 week over week to 516. - Seminole County reduced listings fell by 10 week over week to 188. - The county averages for list price were $585,573 in Orange, $407,493 in Seminole, $405,591 in Volusia and $436,203 in Lake. - Central Florida’s overall average list price among reduced listings was $487,497. - The share of reduced listings at 60 or more days ranged from 54.65% in Orange County to 61.86% in Lake County. - The 7.21 percentage point spread suggests the stale-inventory pattern is regional rather than confined to one county. - The full report, methodology and citation reference are published weekly at the full report. - Brenden Rendo said the timing of a price cut matters more than the size of the cut because a seller who has already reduced and is still waiting has shown more motivation to negotiate.

Between the lines: - The data points to a market where pricing pressure is being shaped by time on market as much as by list-price strategy. - The relatively tight range in 60-plus-day shares across the four counties suggests buyers are seeing similar conditions across the region, not isolated pockets of weakness. - The average cut of 3.30% indicates sellers are often testing small reductions first instead of making aggressive resets.

What's next: - The Homes In Orlando Team will continue refreshing the counts weekly. - The weekly report will remain updated with county-level data drawn from Stellar MLS. - Press users can reuse the figures with attribution, and the team says county or city breakdowns not shown in the report can be requested directly.

The bottom line: - Central Florida’s resale market still shows meaningful price pressure, and the homes sitting longest are the ones most likely to need a cut to move.
