More than half of Central Florida price cuts are now on the market 60 days or longer

By AI, Created 5:31 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – Central Florida’s weekly price-reduction data hit a new milestone May 10, with 753 of 1,394 active discounted listings across Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Lake counties now past 60 days on market. Volusia led the region in stale inventory for the second straight week, while Clermont in Lake County posted the largest single-city price-reduction pool.

Why it matters: - More than half of the active price-reduced inventory in the four-county Central Florida market has moved into a stronger buyer-leverage zone. - The shift raises the odds of concessions beyond list-price cuts, including closing-cost credits, repair credits, rate buydowns and timing flexibility. - The change matters for buyers, sellers and investors because the market’s negotiation power is now being driven more by time on market than by the size of the price cut.

What happened: - The Homes In Orlando Team released its weekly Central Florida Price Reduction Report for the week ending May 10, 2026. - Across Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Lake counties, 1,394 active listings had price reductions. - Of those listings, 753 were on market 60 days or longer, equal to 54.02% of the total. - The 60-day share crossed the majority line in the four-county dataset for the first time. - Volusia County posted the highest stale-share rate for the second straight week.

The details: - The average reduction depth across the four counties was 3.41% weighted. - County average cuts stayed in a narrow range, from 3.20% in Orange to 3.70% in Volusia. - Orange County had 522 active price-reduced listings, with 276 past 60 days on market, or 52.90%. - Seminole County had 183 active price-reduced listings, with 86 past 60 days on market, or 47.00%. - Volusia County had 335 active price-reduced listings, with 197 past 60 days on market, or 58.80%. - Lake County had 354 active price-reduced listings, with 194 past 60 days on market, or 54.80%. - Volusia’s 197 long-DOM listings were the largest single-county pool of stale inventory in the region. - Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach were tied at 54 active price-reduced listings each in Volusia County. - Daytona Beach listings averaged 4.53% off original list, $382,183 average price and 137 days on market. - New Smyrna Beach listings averaged 3.90% off original list, $706,353 average price and 136 days on market. - Clermont was the only city in Central Florida with a triple-digit count of price-reduced listings. - Clermont had 100 active price-reduced listings, averaging 3.71% off original list, $499,702 average price and 94 days on market. - Clermont’s mix included 89 houses, 11 townhouses and zero condos. - Orange County’s Orlando listings accounted for 338 of the county’s 522 active price-reduced listings, or 64.75%. - Orlando listings averaged 3.29% off original list, $485,334 average price and 105 days on market. - Apopka showed the tightest Orange County discount depth at 2.34% across 45 listings. - Seminole County’s Sanford listings accounted for 46 of the county’s 183 active price-reduced listings. - Sanford listings averaged 3.73% off original list, $491,960 average price and 71 days on market, the shortest top-city DOM in Central Florida this week.

Between the lines: - The key story is not that sellers are cutting deeper; it is that listings are lingering long enough to create more negotiating leverage. - Volusia’s repeated lead in stale-share suggests that county has the most persistent mismatch between asking prices and buyer demand. - Clermont’s single-family-heavy inventory points to a different investor profile than the coastal markets in Volusia. - The data suggests sellers who price correctly in the first 30 to 45 days are the ones most likely to convert listings into contracts.

What’s next: - Buyers are likely to keep focusing on the 60-plus-days-on-market pool as the main negotiation zone. - Sellers may need to adjust earlier in the listing cycle to avoid joining the growing stale inventory bucket. - Investors will likely continue filtering by submarket, property type and underwriting standards rather than chasing broad market availability. - The Homes In Orlando Team publishes city-level breakdowns on its county pages for Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Lake counties. - More information is available on the company’s county pages: Orange County, Seminole County, Volusia County, and Lake County.

The bottom line: - Central Florida’s price-reduced market is now majority stale, and that changes the negotiating math across the region.
