"With a drop in median home price and another big jump in inventory, July's data shows just how quickly Orlando's housing market conditions can change," said Tansey Soderstrom, Orlando Regional Realtors Association President. "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 looking to purchase a home. The local market continues to show signs of cooling off a bit and is trending toward a more balanced market."
