  • “Many buyers tend to hit 'refresh' in January, viewing a new year as an opportunity to make a fresh start in their home search. This seasonal shift often leads to a surge in new listings and pending sales, as we witnessed in the Orlando market,” said Chris Atwell, 2026 president of the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association. “With homes sitting on the market for the longest time since 2016, it’s important for sellers to work closely with their Realtor to identify the ideal asking price and guide them to negotiate favorable terms. While overall sales have slowed, we are optimistic about the spring market. We’re likely to see pending sales transition into increased activity in February, setting the stage for an active spring and summer.”
