Orlando home prices, measured as the typical value per square meter (data: Redfin). This is the value of the property itself — bricks and mortar — not an investor's total return.
It excludes rent received and all costs (closing, property taxes, maintenance, vacancy). Compare it against U.S. inflation (CPI) and the S&P 500 below to see whether Orlando real estate kept up.
Orlando is a central Florida metro anchored by theme parks, conventions and a large tourism and hospitality workforce, with healthcare and aerospace adding to the base. Like much of Florida it fell hard in the 2008 housing crash and recovered slowly, then ran up after 2020 as the state's no-income-tax draw, warm climate and remote work pulled in buyers, before the pace eased as rates and insurance costs climbed. Prices sit in the mid affordability tier nationally, more affordable than South Florida, with demand tied closely to the region's visitor-driven economy.
