"August's numbers point to a market finding its footing rather than losing ground,” said Chris Atwell, 2026 president of the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association. “Buyers are being more selective with rates near 6.7%, and sellers are adjusting alongside them, which is why we're seeing both sides pull back together. Single-family homes are holding their value well, and this remains a healthy market working through a very typical seasonal slowdown."
