“The five or so ZIP codes that we’re seeing that are they’re having the most pageviews per listing,” said Cory Hopkins, economics manager at Zillow. “It’s the same amount of people looking at a vastly reduced number of actually available listings.”
That’s because the real estate market currently in Orlando has low-supply of houses, down about 32% in suburban area outside of Orlando, Hopkins said. That low supply is driving up prices with the median cost of a house now up to $320,000, according to the Orlando Regional Realtor’s Association. These neighborhoods more popular as it’s closer to that median cost.
“It’s definitely the most desirable, where people want to be,” Realtor Raymond Roberts said, having just sold a house near UCF. “I think when they see this area, they say OK I think that I would rather be in this area, especially for the price. The prices, you know, those are going to fall more in into your median price point, you know, so you’re definitely seeing a lot of traffic in this area come in.”
