2026 Orlando Housing Market Forecast: Beyond the Theme Parks

Orlando's Transformation

Beyond the theme parks, Orlando has become a booming tech and healthcare hub. With a median home price of $385,000 and no state income tax, it's a top relocation destination from higher-cost states.

For 2026, we project 4-5% appreciation as population growth and job creation continue at a strong pace.
