- “We are seeing the housing market start to level off from its peak, but that doesn’t mean it’s less competitive. Sellers are continuing to see the benefits of record high prices, even as more homes are listed for sale,” said Natalie Arrowsmith, 2021 Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association President, NextHome Arrowsmith Realty. “The demand is still strong. A recent survey of our REALTORS® found the majority of sellers plan to buy another house here in Central Florida. They’re competing with people moving here from out-of-state.”
