What’s the average home price in Central Florida heading into 2026?

If you’ve been eyeing homes across West Orlando or the surrounding suburbs, you’ve noticed prices haven’t exactly fallen off a cliff—but they’ve calmed down.

Late 2025 snapshot:
According to the latest data from Florida Realtors, median prices are steady:

• Clermont / Minneola: $400K–$415K

• Winter Garden: $520K–$550K

• Windermere: $650K–$700K+

• Montverde: $650K median, but luxury listings reach $2M+

That’s a noticeable slowdown from the double-digit spikes of 2022–2023.

2026 forecast:
Economists project modest appreciation around 2–4%, thanks to steady job growth, new construction, and migration from out-of-state buyers—especially from the Northeast and Midwest. Mortgage rates may inch down slightly if inflation continues to stabilize, giving more buyers breathing room.

What this means for buyers:

• 2026 may be the last “balanced” year before demand surges again if rates ease.

• Clermont and Minneola still offer entry-level value with newer developments and lower taxes.

• Windermere and Winter Garden remain premium, but incentives from builders may reappear.

Bottom line:
Prices are holding firm, not falling. Waiting for a market crash is like waiting for Disney tickets to go on clearance—it’s not happening.
