Florida Real Estate Market Update – What November 2025 Really Means for Buyers & Sellers

Stellar MLS | Florida Market Snapshot – November 2025

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the real estate headlines lately, you’ve probably seen a lot of noise. That’s why I always encourage my clients to look past the headlines and focus on the actual data. The November 2025 Stellar MLS Market Report gives us a clear, balanced picture of where the Florida housing market truly stands—and there’s a lot to feel good about, whether you’re buying, selling, or simply watching from the sidelines.

Let’s break down what this means in plain English.

What This Market Means for Sellers 🏡

One of the biggest takeaways from this report is stability.

Active listings are sitting around 74,739, which is only slightly down from last month but still up year-over-year. That’s important because it tells us inventory hasn’t disappeared—but it also isn’t flooding the market. This balance helps protect home values while still giving buyers options.

Even better news for sellers:

• Average sales price is holding steady at $440,591
• Days on market averages 75 days, which is very reasonable for a healthy, normalized market
• Months of inventory sits at 6.3, which puts us right in balanced-market territory

👉 Translation: Homes that are priced correctly and marketed properly are still selling, and sellers aren’t being forced into dramatic price drops just to move their property.

This supports what I’ve written about before in my blog on
Pricing Strategy and Market Timing — today’s market rewards smart strategy, not guesswork.

What This Market Means for Buyers 🔑

For buyers, this report brings something we haven’t seen much of in recent years: choice and breathing room.

With more inventory than we saw during the frenzy years, buyers can:

• Take time to compare homes
• Negotiate repairs or concessions
• Avoid rushed, emotional decisions

Pending sales dipped slightly month-over-month, but year-over-year they’re holding steady. That tells us demand hasn’t disappeared—it’s just become more thoughtful.

This lines up perfectly with what I discussed in my recent article on
How Buyers Win with Data, Not Emotion.

👉 In short: buyers who are prepared, pre-approved, and well-advised are in an excellent position right now.

Why This Is Actually a Healthy Market (For Everyone)

A lot of people hear words like “slower” or “normalizing” and assume that’s bad news. In reality, this is what a sustainable market looks like.

• Prices are stable, not spiking wildly
• Homes are selling, not sitting forever
• Buyers and sellers both have leverage
• Decisions are being made based on value, not panic

This is the kind of environment where experience, negotiation skills, and market knowledge truly matter—and where having a local expert makes all the difference.

My Take as a Local Ocoee & Central Florida Realtor

Markets shift. That’s normal. What doesn’t change is the importance of having someone who understands how to interpret the data and apply it to your specific situation.

I don’t believe in scare tactics or hype. I believe in education, transparency, and helping my clients make confident decisions—whether that means buying now, selling now, or waiting until the timing is right for them.

If you’re curious how this market impacts your neighborhood, your home’s value, or your buying power, I’m always happy to walk through it with you.
