📅 Sunday is circled on my calendar — and if you're buying anywhere near Orlando, it should be circled on yours. Realtor.com ran the numbers on all 50 metros: for Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, the single best week to buy this year is October 25–31. Historically that week brings 12% more active listings, 38% less competition, and asking prices about 4% below their seasonal peak. The September data backs the tilt: Florida single-family sales dipped 3.5% year-over-year (second straight down month), while supply sits at 4.4 months — tighter than last year's 5.1. Zoom into Orlando, where the picture flips: supply is up to 5.15 months (from 4.82 in August — because sales cooled, not because listings piled up), homes sitting 77 days on average, and in ORRA's mid-year survey, 68% of agents said they're seeing more seller concessions than a year ago. One honest note, from Realtor.com's own economist: use the window strategically, not as a deadline. Rates are 7.32% (Freddie Mac, Oct 22) — that's the real math. But if you've been waiting for the tilt, this is what it looks like. Share this with someone house-hunting 👇 — and follow me, I read the numbers every month so you don't have to.
